God Bless the IOC

...And bless NBC, too, for their committment to wall-to-wall coverage of the exciting sport of Women's Beach Volleyball.

Oddly, The Lovely Christine seems to have some doubts that the coverage of this exciting event is motivated solely by the athletic excellence it represents. Apparently, she doesn't understand that there are extremely important athletic justifications for the type of uniforms the competitors wear.

Extremely important.

It's educational, too. For instance, it appears to get much colder in Athens after the sun goes down. So, I'm getting a geography lesson, too.

Thanks Dale ... I'm cleaning the coffee off my screen as I type this. ;)

Reminds me of the one funny thing I ever heard a feminist say on NPR. She had been asked to be one of the judges of a beauty pageant, and they tried to convince her that the swimsuit competition was all about well-being and physical condition.

"Oh yes, she's got a healthy set of...lungs."

Ohhhh yeah! I am now a huge Misty May fan! I don't know when they went to the more... entertaining... uniforms, but they've sure got my eyeballs glued to the screen...
