A final word on the Beijing Olympics now that the games are at last over and I can actually sleep without feeling guilty about having missed a once-every-four-years women's volleyball game. Say what you want about China and their authoritarian, human-rights-violating ways. They sure can put on an Opening and Closing ceremony.
I view the games like I do James Cameron's Titanic. Sure, it cost a bazillion dollars and was created via slave labor techniques. But, boy, when that boat goes down, it sure is riveting. I sure hope those white-clad Chinese cheerleaders, who were dancing all through the Opening and Closing ceremonies, finally get to sit down for awhile.
