First time in South America but not the first time in Latin America.

Gosh Chicago didn't make it.


Guess beating to death an honor roll student won't be an Olympic event this year.

I think they have arrested 4 or 5 kids now.

I seriously don't see the big deal. Let some other country lose money on it. I can still watch any of it that interest me on TV.

Your right about Brazil...... they have a lot of exports too.

Chicago couldn't handle it.    Joliet is a parking lot Monday through Friday for chrissakes.   Let alone hosting the Olympics.

Agree with Shuffler--I still don't see the draw.  Atlanta lost money on the deal.  Why would Chicago try to lobby so hard for something that will just  lose money?
