New York was doomed the minute Hillary showed up.

Chirac loses. Hillary loses. The steadfast Brits, win...

Hey! Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

It's interesting how the deadline of the world is continually extended.

"Well apparently Lord Coe, the man leading the bid, did find a way so the balance sheet suggests we will make a profit. If you want to help, come visit us in 2012. ;) "

Considering what my wife likes to spend on New Bond street, I have no doubt that you'll make a tidy profit in 2012 (yes, we'll be there with kids in tow).

That it is, but understandable now that we have experienced the Greatest Event in History.

"Tony Blair acted brilliantly. He has a dynamism which makes him win all his bets, win all the gambles he takes and win all the challenges he sets himself," said Pierre Durand, an Olympic gold medallist in equestrianism for France in 1988.

"They have the luck to have a prime minister who is young, emblematic, charismatic, deliberately looking to the future and at odds with 'Old Europe'. You can feel it on every level."

Wow, even the French are now calling themselves "Old Europe".

I don't think London was a good choice, either. Lot of Muslims there. Possibility of Muslim terrorist activities.

There sure doesn't seem to be much of a future for the Axis of Weasels.

And Rummy got beat up for that comment. Now all of Europe has embraced it.

Either way France would have lost. If they had gotten the games, it likely would have caused them to go deeper in debt.

This method of loss is sweet because of the recent postering between Britain and France. It's sweet because our ally defeats our enemy.

We win because Hillary's efforts weren't enough to sway the Games here, N.Y. doesn't deserve to host the games given how the majority in that state reacted to the WOT, and I don't particularly want to host a number of countries that have treated us with such disrespect.

Britain and Blair have bragging rights and I assume their economy is one of the few that can produce a profit hosting these games. Very few countries can do that, ours being one.

All Good All around.
