George W. Bush and the Beijing Olympics

It's been a long time since I've posted to this blog.  One thing is certain. I am personally boycotting the Beijing Summer Olympics and I hope that most everyone else here will do likewise.  The Chinese human rights record has always been appalling. Achieving the Olympics has done little to change that. If I were a member of the International Olympic Committee I would certainly vote to revoke the right of the Chinese to host the summer games based on their reprehensible regard for human rights before, during and after being awarded this Gold, Silver and Bronze opportunity to improve their reputation as ruthless totalitarian thugs. Speaking of ruthless totalitarian thugs, George W. Bush is attending the games, oblivious to what's going on in Red China. This should come as no surprise, given Bush's cavalier attitude toward human and just about every other kind of rights both here and abroad.
