It's not the 'boy'cot you should fear, it's a 'girl'cot that could ruin the fun. BTW the talk in Vancouver (a friend of mine) is that Chicago lost the bid because of the funeral music in their presentation and that the IOC wants an upbeat population and games and no one can deny that Rio can deliver this. I was stunned when I watched the insincere speech by Mrs Obama and the photo collage of Chicago with what one can only call post mortem music....start at minute 9 where they are playing taps! nbcchicago.com

Broken, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Been thinking about going somewhere for a long time. Passport good. And then I saw your attached photo and it hit me. I could just walk the beaches and shine shoes. I will be employed with no work. Dream job. And follow those around all day wearing my big hat and wrap arounds. Drinking Brazilian Tea and eating coconuts. What the F am I doing here? Think I am gone. Thanks for the inspiration. America is done. I watched the Chicago presentation and I would not be caught dead there. Rio sounds about right. Will update you further. May take a few months but I think I may just check it out. Thanks to you and a friend. Imagine how much money will flow into that economy. I could go down there and wreck another country. God I love capitalism. I must not forget to include my copy of "Ugly Americans" when I pack my suitcase. Required reading if you have not. Been working on my tan. White America is not well liked across the world. By the time I leave I ought to blend in. With a thick mustache. Fixed. I could maybe say I was Canadian but HEY what do I know about them? Never work. English? No they hate them almost more than they hate us. I am stuck being three of the most hated things in the world at this moment. White American male. Rio..... Great Idea. both
