December 4, 2007: Pollution at Beijing Olympics site

I'm worried for the athletes. They're supposed to be in peak condition, breathing this?? Some of them are asthmatic too.

I am thinking that those so industrious Chinese people who are so hard working and not lazy will figure out a way to snatch each and every little one of those coal particles from the air with chopsticks before the next Olympics, there-by continuing to scam the world that they are doing their part for global warming... heh.

I read recently that the planning for the games allows for some events such as the marathon to be postponed or even canceled if the air pollution is too bad that day.
Imagine what that would do to an athlete's carefully planned event preparation. Oh, sorry, not today - maybe tomorrow...
