#4  the best part is the Daley machine assholes (and Obama clingers) buying up property they thought would be used (at preeeemium prices) to stage the Olympics. Now they're stuck with shitty property

#3  The host city pays the bills. The developers and the politicians pocket the money at the expense of the taxpaying public. It's a universal truth. The Olympics are all about money, using the athletes as a vehicle to get it.

People think that it is prestige to host the Olympics. They can think that all they want, while the politicians and developers laugh all the way to the bank.

So long, suckers, see ya in the funny papers.

About the same thing the Nobel committee was thinking. It's All About Us! See how important we are.
