Another thing - is anyone sick and tired of the U.S. hosting olympic games?During the opening ceremonies Bob and Katie kept making a big deal that this was the first Winter Games in the U.S. since 1980. As if this was something slightly unfair. We are now tied with France for hosting the most Winter Games.
And I've almost lost track as to how many we've hosted between Summer & Winter.
Salt Lake, Atlanta, Los Angeles (twice), Lake Placid (twice), St. Louis, Squaw Valley.
And every couple years my city (Orlando) spends thousands of dollars in hopes of one day hosting the Olympics. Just to "prove" were a "real" city.
