Anyone going to Beijing / Olympics?

Beijing looks awesome.

According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

"Security is very tight for the Olympics in China, which has been very hard on the locals there. Many stores and factories in Beijing have been forced to close, and people have been forced out of their houses. Sort of like here in the United States, only for them it ends in a couple of weeks."

---Jimmy Kimmel

"There's excitement in the air over the Olympics...also lead, arsenic, benzene..."

---David Letterman

"The skies over Beijing are very smoggy. The government says the pollution is just a harmless mist. They made a similar statement about the treatment of prisoners---it’s not torture, it’s Pilates."

---Craig Ferguson

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

I thought they introduced the countries in alphabetical order. Is this in order by the Chinese alphabet?

Ah, he just said the order is based on the number of strokes in the characters for the country names.

I think people forget the Olympics is the one place you're supposed to put politics and differences aside.

It is not a forum for us to tell other countries what we think about them or their style of government.
