Maybe I'm an Olympics Scrooge, too, Stan, but I have no desire to watch
them, either. It's the Summer Olympics, anyway. Do I want to watch people
run around a track like Human Nascars? Not really. *If* I ever watch an
Olympic sport, it's wintertime and it's the Luge or the Ski Jump.

I also don't agree with the politics of where the Summer Olympics are being
held this year.
