Cycling in the 2012 Olympics (spoilers allowed)

Fortunately my DVR has plenty of room on it, so I can record the whole 6 hours.

You might want to set it to stop recording an hour later or so. Can't tell you how many times I've missed recording the end of live events that extended beyond the scheduled time slot.

Who else is watching the opening ceremonies this evening? I think this is the first time I've done so.

[hebe]

I am, but will have to miss the end as it's getting late here. I was really impressed, so much of it resonated for me.

It doesn't start here for 30 more minutes...and I've got to get up early to meet up with someone to go mountain biking so I doubt I will see all of it either.

I guess Mitt Romney committed a faux paux today in an interview in London, but I didn't quite hear what he said.

Yesterday Mitt said he wasn't sure that London had it all together for the games. Cameron was brilliant, saying that it would be might be easier to stage the Games "in the middle of nowhere" (i.e. Utah) than in one of the busiest cities on the planet.

Some other numpty in the Romney team told the English press that Romney had a better understanding of our common Anglo Saxon heritage than Obama.

I heard a report about where protests and political statements will and will not be allowed in London.

Please let the sport be a diversion from the politics!

Thanks for the summary, i've been too busy to pay much attention. Let the politics step aside for a few weeks!

Sorry, it's pretty presumptuous of a political candidate who has not been elected in office, to assume a position to even comment on another country's events while they are visiting on foreign soil. It's tasteless and lacks common sense diplomacy.
