8:45 China: the ancient and the modern. Missed most of the ancient part, hope that the fireworks at the end of this segment don't ignite the air.
Impressive LED screen across the field. People wearing suits illuminated by tiny lights are making bird shapes and the like. Probably very cool...if you're there
One of the talking heads is opining that the modern era of China began in the 1970's. That's the time that "China came out of her shell". Great, if they would only stop forcing women into abortions and ease up on people who have directed their spiritual lives away from the state, then we might really believe it. Cheap goods and a big snow job at the Olympics just don't cut it.
Theme change...uh oh I heard the magic phrase...global warming, sustainability. All illustrated by tai chi masters and chanting school children. World unity, world peace, man and nature living as one. The talking heads are having to explain this otherwise it would all be just one big choreographed light show, Hi Ho. And don't think for a minute that the Chinese guv-mint gives an imprisoned Tibetan's arse about the environment. They'll do what they have to do to get oil and use it. Count on it.
9:15 Now the Chinese are patting themselves on the back over their space program. They hope to have a man on the moon by 2024. Hey boys, we already did that...IN 1969! What a bunch of clodhoppers. If you guys hadn't gone Commie you'd probably gone to the moon with us. Putzes.
Now we have a big Chinese pop star and a very Yankee looking woman performing a duet. zzzz. Meanwhile Bob Costas is all a twittle over the quality aspects of the presentation. We'll, they spent 64 billion, they damn well better have something more than this One World, One Dream baloney .
9:25 Now the teams are marching in. Greece by way of being the first country to host the Olympics is first. OK...you can get out of the way now. Can't wait to see the reception for the USA.
Didn't realize Turkey had such a Soviet looking flag...
Fashion alert: Turkmenistan has some gaudy ugly pigeon crap green outfits on...pitiful
Malaysia has an American looking flag...damn right!
Cayman Islands: Tax haven for criminals...is money laundering an Olympic sport? Swimming with concrete galoshes?
Bob Costa just had a thrill go up his leg.
Ecuador: you mean they're not all in the states? Surprised they have enough people left to field a team. Most of them live up here in Berea.
Jamaica: ganja will prevent them from cleaning up at these games, but they'll be the most agreeable team there.
Israel: remember 1972
Japan: quiet reception.
Taiwan: They're calling them Chinese Taipe. Yeah right. Stinking freedom loving capitalists.
Hong Kong: big reception.
Cambia: smallest nation in Africa. They wore their pajamas to the show. Nice.
Denmark: been a while since we've seen any caucasians.
Paraquay: Gold for sure in the banana tossing competition.
Panama: Likely to take the gold in tarantula eating.
Palestine: keep 'em out of the doughnut shops and off buses. Check their bags. See Israel.
Cuba: big cheer for their comrades from the Chinese. Casto still living? Heard that the first cell phone arrived there this week. A guy traded his 60 Cheverolet for it; but there is no one to call.
Rwanda: Feed them good lest they start eating each other.
India: pretty quiet reception from their democratic neighbors.
Niger: One athlete...brother can you spare some yellowcake? Maybe Joe Wilson should have carried the flag.
10:10 Ghana: just a few Ghanarians...
Canada: good luck hey. But you guys need to get it together on this.
Spain: May 11 2002. Surrender day for this once great country. Haven't been worth a damn since.
Congo: keep them away from Rwanda at dinner time.
Iraq: Big cheer...alright.
Iran: More ugly green...See ya soon boys...sup to you-signed-the Great Satan.
Hungary: appear to be wearing blood stained clothing...yikes! Lots of big ankled women.
Hurry up USA!
Andorra? Wasn't she on Bewitchted?
Saudi Arabia: no women...they're all back home covered in sacks and keeping their damn mouths shut lest they want to be beaten black and blue. Islam., the religion of peace.
Great Britain. Good luck cuz.
Kenya: protein bars stat!
Venezuela: Hey Hugee baby...You exist simply because we let you. Peace out, brother.
France: The home of Euroweenies everywhere. Surrender monkeys on the stroll. Though Sarkozy not quite the crap for brains that his predecessors were.
Poland: gotta love those eastern Europeans...haven't given in to euroweenyism yet. They love the States...glad to be rid of the Soviets.
South Africa. You mean there's something left. It's been pretty much downhill ever since Mandelas took over?
Russia: Putin is there. Crapweasle extraordinaire.
10:40 The USA: Nice applause.... a little surprising. What's with the berets? Oh, Ralph Lauren inspired duds. Blue blazers and white pants. Not showy...not bad...except the berets. U. S. A.!
I'd like to see us clean up over there in gulag land. It's all political when you get a chance to thrash the enemies of freedom on their own world stage. While the OC was pretty spectacular, beneath the 64 billion dollar facade still exist a regime that punishes those who seek liberty and imprisons people based on their beliefs. They should be universally shamed for that regardless of their expensive propaganda, but they won't be. It's happy, happy joy time.
OK that about does it. I may not see much more of the Beijing Olympics, but if I do, I'll report.
