Let the Games Begin

The Beijing 2008 Olympics Games begin at 8 p.m. tonight and I am so watching the opening ceremony.

It promises to be spectacular.

But…Free Tibet!

Update 1: Lopez Lomong, yours is one inspiring story.

Update 2: Thank you, Great Britain, for your flag-bearer, swimmer Mark Foster. Thank you very much. I mean...hello.

Update 3: And those fireworks!

Update 4: About those fireworks…. Beijing organizers have confirmed that some of the fireworks displayed during the opening ceremony featured pre-recorded footage.

Well…I’m not wondering if they do private parties anymore.
