I've been enjoying the Games too, Geoff. Our town had two Olympians. Our shotputter placed ninth overall, but performed well, while Hyleas Fountain, who took silver in Beijing, did not medal this year in women's decathlon. A hero's welcome is still planned for them.

But a girl from a nearby town, 20 minutes away won a gold medal yesterday in one of the sharpshooting events.

I'm not sure what the controversy over Serena Williams' little dance on center court was. She had just beaten Maria Sharapova in dominating fashion. I've heard that because the steps she used are called the Crip Dance that it was a celebration of gang violence even though the Crips aren't known for dancing. People will go to any lengths to rain on Serena.
