&lt;P&gt;Never thought of it in those terms.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My dream is....we have less than one year....that's all it takes to turn their stupid show into a world-class debacle.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Think how smart that would make us look...if we only weren't sheep....and dumb-ass ones at that!&lt;/P&gt;

China is a one-party state and, whenever a one-party state hosts an Olympics, ten year later they're circling the drain if not already down it.  To wit:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1936 - Berlin Olympics;  1946 - Allied Occupation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1980 - Moscow Olympics;  1990 - Warsaw Pact meltdown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1984 - Sarajevo Winter Olympics;  1994 - Yugoslav Civil War.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2008 - Beijing Olympcs;  2018 - ?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The clock is ticking.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
