I'd just like to take a moment to say

IN YO FACE JACK CHIRAC!!

Yeah, that's right, their only contributions are mad cow disease AND THE 2012 OLYMPICS MUTHAFUCKA!!!

We now return to our regularly-scheduled gloat-free programming.

Bertrand Delanoë said: "
Nous n'avons pas la même culture du lobbying que les Anglo-Saxons". Maybe he should have a talk with de Villepin.

The only thing that could improve on the happy news that NYC didn't get the games is the better news that Chirac didn't get them either.

Of course the other good thing about the London announcement is that it reduces the likelihood of Celine Dion being invited to sing at the opening ceremony.

I'm not sure how I feel about this announcement, since the Olympics seem to be a boon to moderately-sized cities and a curse to large ones (does London really need a boost in tourism?). Unfortunately, it's gotten a little huge for even a moderately-sized city. Could Barcelona pull off the bloated mess which now constitutes the Olympic Games?

Part of me wanted Paris to get it, so the French taxpayers could pay for the behemoth.
