There are still heroes in France. Good to know.
I am so proud of these protesters. FREE TIBET! I think it's ludicrous if our country goes to the Olympics and pretends China isn't arresting and crushing people for speaking out. China is RELISHING the opportunity to have the U.S. there, bowing to their will.
No mulligans for the Olympic torch! I think they should go back to Athens and start over.
Where in the world is -- oh, wait... never mind.
