The Onion

Dumbest thing said during the Olympics last night.

Somehow I end up watching synchronized diving last night, or at least it was on the TV while I was in the room. Anyway, the announcer says something to the effect that "the divers really benefit when they train together." Really? You think the two people who are going to be performing a synchronized dive would benefit from training together? That's a remarkable idea!

Mark Spitz - Bitter, table for one.

Spitz upset over Olympic snub.

"I never got invited. You don't go to the Olympics just to say, I am going to go. Especially because of who I am," Spitz told AFP in Hong Kong.

"I am going to sit there and watch Michael Phelps break my record anonymously? That's almost demeaning to me. It is not almost -- it is."

"They voted me one of the top five Olympians in all time. Some of them are dead. But they invited the other ones to go to the Olympics, but not me," he said. "Yes, I am a bit upset about it."
Maybe they were afraid your ego wouldn't fit on the plane.

McCain Camp Says Obama Is Playing ‘Race Card’
Seriously, if you are going to vote for or against Obama because he is black, you're a moron. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to vote for or against him and it's going to be sad watching the next four months of bullshit being brought up about race rather than actual issues that matter.
