Wouldn’t it have been easier to have held the Olympics in a giant toilet bowl? At least you could have flushed it once in a while.

'Our job is to decrease the pollution as much as possible, but sometimes it is very common to have fog in Beijing at this time'

Brilliant, insightful comment. /sarc

But appropriate for the instance. It is absolutely idiotic for President Bush to be going to these Olympic games.

Wow, that is some incredibly heavy pollution there! And I thought the occasional brown cloud in Denver was bad when I lived there! O.o

And, this is 20% lower than last year? Absolutely astounding!

"...LOL!! And we’re told that the U.S. is killing the planet? ..."

Precisely...No one is going to criticize poor china because they aren't the U.S. and they have the most favored nation status.

That's just irritating! Irritating to the heart, mind, soul, eyes, nose and lungs!!! I'm irritated that I want to post things that could get my post removed too.
