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).
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Opening ceremonies!
To be honest, I wasn't going to watch, but then I saw the pictures.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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.

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!

They're staying remarkably quiet, at least at this point. And I"d rather have Bob Costas than almost anyone else. (Says the figure skating fan who has to put up with Unca Dick.)
