(Wade, thanks for the segue....and my more serious posts about China and the myriad of problems that involve that nation are usually done somewhere else.)

Since the gold medal is a foregone conclusion, all that is left to ponder is the total run differential for US Softball.

I'm putting the over/under at 50 runs.

Screw the Olympics, they're getting rid of baseball and softball. They should picked one of the other hundred worthless sports you'll be seeing over the next few weeks.

Weekend, how do you you live with thoughts like that?? I'm sure those "homos" are proud to represent their country with the goal of each, regardless of their nationality, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or politics, being able to say I am best ___________ player in the world.

How many times are you going to have to hear your DD say, through her tears, that she was derided for pursuing her passion before you get it??

Because you know that all female softball players are lesbians. At least that what I heard on the badminton boards.
