Huzzah Awards

You know, I don't really feel like I need any explanation about what I'm doing here.  I tried to think of something akin to thumbs-up/thumbs-down, but this was all I came up with.  This round of Huzzah Awards are Olympics-themed.

1)  NBC:  Talk about a great idea for people who don't have TV's (me).  The geniuses at this station have made the Olympics available online, live, and free at nbcolympics.com.

2)  Micheal Phelps:  I think there's got to be something behind those new swimsuits (think about the last time you saw a regularly contested sprint relay world record broken by 4 seconds), but this guy has really warmed up the stage for next week's events.  Plus, the moustache tribute to Spitz was badass.

3)  Opening Games Ceremony:  My eyes and ears had orgasms several times over.

1)  George Bush:  Alright, sure, our country's figurehead leader should be present at big international events.  These dirty socks more accurately represent a culmination of frustration with all the politicians who spend more time on recess than they do on public service.

2)  Lymphoma:  Apparently Dick Fosbury, 1968 gold medalist and revolutionary figure in the high jump, was recently treated for cancer in his spine.  Apparently, he's going to be fine, but cancer's always a bummer.

3)  Olympics Games Ceremony:  Apparently the little girl singing wasn't cute enough to sing on the actual stage, so they plucked a prettier girl up from somewhere, made her lip-synch the words to "Ode to the Motherland" in front of all of those people and cameras, and hid the actual singer somewhere where we wouldn't have to look at her hideous face.  I'm not making this up.
