This whole thing is stupid. Please consider changing the channel during the commercials and watching this instead.

Brokaw’s piece was not as sugarcoated as I expected but he did not use the word “communist” or “communism” one time...

Well, so far, I haven't gone into a sugar coma, well we have a ways to go to the actual truth but at least it was more neutral. BTW, my 16 year old black cat is on my keyboard, she's making it hard to type. B-)

This thread is to celebrate our athletes and hopefully the kick some major commie behind over the next two weeks. NOT to argue about China.

I don't see why we can't do both. Thanks for the updates and pictures.

The rings coming up off the ground is really neat.

It almost seems like people are a little hesitant to clap or applaud.

Nice how they had the soldiers come and yank the flag from the children! This is both funny and scary.
