David Letterman makes this revelation about his personal life because he was being extorted. I understand he was staying ahead of the wave, and I commend him for it, but really, is this any of our business ?
The world didn't reject Obama. It's gotten the symbolism of his election. Now it's time to go beyond the symbols. Five hours of Obama isn't enough change.
Brazilians would be far better off if its populace refused to tolerate the rogues' gallery that populates its government. But despite its social problems, the Rio Olympics may be the most entertaining Games ever.
Brazil was among the last to enter into the current world recession, but is among the first to begin to emerge from the recession. And therein is why Chicago did not get the Olympics.
Losing the Olympics to Rio de Janeiro just shows that Dick Cheney, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the Republicans have been right all along. Relying on reasoning, discussion and goodwill is bullshit.

I am proud to note that while Brazil's turn to organize the Olympics has not yet come, it does not mean that we've shied away from competing. But it is one thing to play along, and another to offer the playing field.
If Obama skips Copenhagen in December, after making time to go there to promote the Olympics, he will be saying something chilling about his commitment to battling global warming.
At Texas Tech the coach has banned all of his players from tweeting after one of his linebackers tweeted that the coach was late for a meeting. Doesn't the First Amendment guarantee freedom of tweech?
