It’s most interesting to read the above comments, ranging from good intelligent ones to down right boring and crude – wonder if ashamed is ashamed of himself or what?
Politics, politics, politics, what would we all do in our spare time, unless we have politics to fight and argue over?
But, there is a time and a place to talk politics, there is a time to enjoy the exploits of Olympians. There is a time to bathe in the pure spirit of olympia.
So keep politics out of olympics, and out of all other sports.

and from there visit the top olympic sites / news, etc.

Ah, I didn’t know Barrack said that, I thought he and Hillary were on the same page. But yeah, McCain would Boycott UNLESS something is done by the Chinese government. It’s a cheap ploy to get some easy PR points; I guess McCain and Obama are hedging but Hillary was the most egregious. According to the politico, one of her informal advisers, Richard Baum, recently resigned because of her “China basing”.

Oh yeah, if you are intereted about the back story of “Greater Tibet”, check out this posting on the dailyKos.
