So your 2016 Summer Olympics host city is Rio De Janeiro and I couldn't be happier. The global community's love affair with Obama had to end sooner or later and it was nice to see the IOC not get bullied around or pressured into picking Chicago.
It will be the first time the Olympics are held in South America which is really surprising and disappointing if you ask me. It's safe to say they were overdue.
The only downside is having to wait 7 more years and suffer through the 2012 Summer Games in London before we get there. London's only slightly more desireable than Chicago and I'm not exactly thrilled at the prospect of Jim Lampley or Bob Costas taking us on virtual tours of The Big Smoke. On the other hand, Jim Lampley being detained by the Peelers for boxing his wife again could make for quite the interesting side story.
