Well, we're fucked

Gonna be a sucky year in the medal count:

Eager for the Olympics to begin, President Bush gave a pep talk to U.S. athletes Friday and then settled in for the opening ceremonies

A parting gift, the merde touch.

And right on time, despite draconian efforts, the Beijing smog rolls back in over the Opening Ceremonies.

Hey, China, you invited Bush to come and he's there. Look no further as to why this happened. He's there.
