Rio de Janeiro to host 2016 Olympics
Tonight their gonna party like it's 2016....
I think it's a great choice, I'd much rather go to Rio for the Olympics than Chicago and since by that time I should be an empty nest'er I might even make it.

It'll be great, but man is it going to be tough for the swimmers with all the feathers and sequins attached to their suits.

I'm ready to blame anything on Little Boots including bad weather but it looks like the loss of the Olympics might have something to do with the policies he put in place after the terrorist attacks on September 11.
Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy: They were so worried about people coming to the U.S. to cause trouble that they put a number of roadblocks in the way -- so the only people sufficiently motivated to jump through all the hoops are terrorists! Heckuva job, Bushie. --t

The farther away from me the Olympics are, the better as far as I'm concerned. So Rio was a good choice since I don't think I could stand the jingoism of Olympics in America again. The jingoism of American athletes in other countries is enough.
I know about three dozen people in Chicago and only one wanted the Olympics (obviously not a representatives sample) so I'm glad for them. |

I'm happy for Rio.
I didn't care if it ended up in Chicago - on one hand it would be good for jobs and the economy, on the other hand we have better things to focus on at the moment. Though with all the Olympic coverage we wouldn't hear how the Obama administration is forcing abortions on girls after their how to have sex classes as much. |
