When your government gives you lemons, put up a lemonaid stand across from the Olympic's front gate and make some money.

Soon it will be how the Nazis cleared out the “riff-raff” prior to the ‘36 games with the IOC’s blessing.

Get tankers of sewage, er, ocean water and threaten to use that on them. That will make them go away.

China just threw people in jail or slave camps, Sarajevo turned in to a war, Greece crashed, and Brazil is NUTS.

Could be worse than Munich in the 70's and Nazi-vile in the thirties.

First gold medal to woman shooter.

She grew up and learned to hunt.

Or as Hillary would say: “She’s killed a lot of animals.”
