Brazil the country with the most overinflated view of itself in the world.

It will probably be worse than we think because all the cops will be on duty...

The setting from Escape From New York would have been a better venue.

The Olympic Committee certainly has sewer water on their faces for choosing Rio.

Why didn’t they just have it in Oakland, Detroit or Dearbornistan?

Interesting how it’s continuously bad news about Rio since the socialist president is on time out while the more right wing government is temporarily in power. World Cup two years ago considered one of the most successful. All of a sudden Brazil is now Somalia...

A haiku:

Cops there are a gang
They control the drug bizness
Right by the airport

I say the above because the area adjacent to the airport is controlled by the police, and control the drug trade there.

A primer on Rio and Brazil is the movie “City of God”.

They addressed everything except poop in the water.

Still deciding on a vacation spot for the summer. Hmm, let’s see, Cleveland for the RNC, Rio - the Olympics.

Which would be safer for the family?
