Sorry, for me, at this point, anything that keeps Republicans in significant power = morally wrong to me, but that's just my opinion.
And anything that lets the Republicans keep their monopoly over what gets counted as a "moral" issue = especially loathesome.
My Edwards feelings have nothing to do with his sexual habits. But I need to not rant that rant here any more.
I mean granted, both of those are "privacy of your home issues". I just hate the double-freakin' standard (and I'm not 100% sure if it's male/female or Dem/Rep or some intricate cross-breeding of the two, and I suspect that if McCain got caught in an affair right now, it wouldn't get half the howls of protest that even Edwards has, let alone if it was Obama - that is, unless it was an affair of teh gay sort).
Opening ceremonies!
To be honest, I wasn't going to watch, but then I saw the pictures.

Dude, yes. I caught a bunch of the parade of nations stuff online this morning (which is
REALLY LONG THIS YEAR),
and the torch lighting (which is
REALLY COOL THIS YEAR)
but I missed all the cultural stuff in the photos and now I have to remember how to watch the live real-time kind of TV.
... and OMG
eta: over-the-air HD ftw!
I mean, all those
lit drums! SO FREAKING MANY PEOPLE!
This fast internet is dangerous. Tonight I downloaded GoogleEarth and have been playing with that. Plus some music, which I used to do sparingly because it was so slow.
I wanna know what the piece of music was that they used during the voice over that opened the telecast at 7:30. Very Carmina Burana/Mars in feel.
I love hearing the French announcements.
Still say the fireworks were nuts given the air quality. I read it was 92 with 62% humidity at the ceremonies.
I already hate the commentators. Always do.
Are they wearing high-top chucks with their long robe/coat things? That's so Doctor!
