Hello, Olympic Fans...This is CNN

Given that a lot of you are watching the 2008 Beijing Olympics (or
The Summer Games of the XXIX Olympiad- take your choice), I've decided to add the Olympic tracker- courtesy of our friends at NBC Sports and NBCOlympics.com- so we can all find out how our USA team is doing.

Now, you can see how many gold medals Michael Phelps gets while reading this scrawl I write.

While I'm on this Olympic tear, you think that chubby seven year old girl who really sang will get her chance in the sun? China, stop being so damn image conscious. Get your act together on the human rights and air pollution control fronts, and perhaps we'll let you keep your status as 'most favored nation'.

Or is it the Chinese intention to turn Chinese into the official language of the United States, given that China owns about 80% of our country? Just asking...

And one more thing...why in the hell did Sweden's Ara Abrahamian throw this hissy fit? All because he got bronze instead of gold...

Dude, you're fucking lucky that you even got the damn medal in the first place. And we thought China was dealing with image and national pride issues.

National supremacy. Isn't it great?

This is CNN...Okay, that was a bad James Earl Jones impersonation. Anyway, below the NBC Olympic count chart is a widget from CNN.com. Just click on the headline you want, and go directly to it.

Just another way NFTHE- and the other blogs of your humble correspondent- is making your reading (and viewing) experience better. All without leaving this page.
