Anyone notice how Chinese music sounds much like Scotish music?

President George W. Bush poses for a photo with U.S. Olympic runner Lopez Lomong Friday, Aug. 8, 2008, in Beijing prior to Opening Ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.

Lopez Lomong, a survivor of the violence in his native Sudan, now a U.S. citizen, was selected by his teammates to lead the U.S. Olympic team into Olympic National Stadium carrying the United States Flag at the Opening Ceremony.

ROTFL! I don’t know. I kept expecting the NYPD or the CPD to come in at any second.

There’s a group of Nasa scientists who call themselves the Asteroid Undergound. They’re pushing for a mission to an asteroid to be included in the Constellation manned mission schedule. One of their guys said we should just blow past the moon, waving at the Russinas and Chinese and calling out “Great stuff guys, but we did that 50 years ago!”

I really think we need to dress as revolutionary war soldiers next Olympics.

LOL! I always get the feeling other countries are disappointed when are athletes don't show up dressed as cowboys and cowgirls.
