Faster, Higher, Stronger, . . , Hunh?

After watching just a few minutes of the bloated incoherent Olympic Opening Ceremonies, I have a suggestion: have some official step up to a mike and say, “Let the Games begin!”

That’s it. End of ceremony.

No more countries bragging on who has the bigger . . . whatever. Put the money toward paying off the bonds you took out to finance the Games or, hey, help feed the poor.

I am a sports fan, but becoming less so as these things get more and more grandiose and . . . well, corporate. It won’t be long before Olympic athletes will be sporting advertising on their uniforms. Sheesh!
