Olympics, Day Eleventybillion and Two

[madlori]

Today (Monday, that is, although it's now after midnight) was my Dad's birthday. Happy birthday, Dadster! I called him to wish him a happy happy. My mom made him his traditional birthday cake, chocolate chip cake, and they were going to make barbecue ribs on the grill and have friends over. Sounds like a pretty awesome birthday to me

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the scoring ridiculous-ness of Nastia and the 13yo Chinese girl.

I've lost my ability to be shocked at the bullshittery that goes down in gymnastics judging.

Totally BS. But how can they have done better with it? :(

Not have the stupid tie breaking system and just give out two golds like they used to.

True that. I am Chinese-American (or Taiwanese, whatever, in the Olympics it's really the same thing when you're cheering on the teams), and when I heard that anthem go up I was so upset.
