Champagne and Raspberries
Raspberries to the idiot savant who pointed out that body suits would benefit the male swimmers in the Olympics. This was the one and only time every 4 years that Speedos were appropriate. I want my naked-except-for-Speedo swimmers back !!!!

Champagne for those who waited just a few days before jumping on the GOOGLE bandwagon. Not only will you now be able to purchase a larger piece of the company (number of shares being released was reduced), but you can get it for a lower price (IPO price was lowered).

Raspberries to Svetlana Khorkina. She has surpassed all others, including those actresses not participating in the Olympics (Calista Flockhart, Julie Chen, and Lara Flynn Boyle), to catch that ever elusive "Most Anorexic" gold medal. Damn, girl, eat a sandwich.

Champagne for Paul Hamm who became the gold medal winner in the All-Around competition for gymnastics today. I can’t wait to watch the tape of this tonight.

Raspberries to Mark Schubert, the coach of the women’s swimming team, who removed Maritza Correia from the 4x100 meter freestyle relay team in favor of Jenny Thompson. While Jenny was a prime swimmer in her day, she let the team down as she lost the race during her leg of the race. Correia was the 2nd fastest out of all competitors during the preliminaries while swimming her leg of the race.

Raspberries to Brittney Spears and what’s-his-name for their bid to capture the spotlight on The Newlyweds now that Jessica and Nick want to step down. However, if you pair that half-hour up with the Whitney and Bobby crack-train-wreck, I just may watch that crap.

Champagne for Paris Hilton and the alleged dog-napper(s). Tinkerbell is home and safe….we can all sleep tonight.
