Squirming and Cheering


Pete McMartin, the Sun columnist, wrote an excellent piece yesterday.

The headline pretty much catches the gist of the article:
"Why I loathe the Olympics and why I hope they succeed"

I think he has captured the mix of emotions that many are feeling.

Its a good article but I am still not sold on the olympdicks being of any value what so ever.

The infrastructure that we have was either not needed ( Sea to Sky ) or crammed down our throats (RAV line) in a manner that will spawn law suits for a long time.

Thank God that its already Feb 7th and this whole disgusting waste of time and money will soon just be a bad memory.

If this event is a complete and total failure on every level we might see some good come out of it.
Idiot mayor gonzo with Gordo bringing up the rear. In this I believe.
