Explaining that Olympic Committee decision

You may have seen this already via email. But it's too good not to post:
Top ten reasons Chicago didn't get the 2016 Olympics
10. Dead people can't vote at IOC meetings.
9. Obama distracted by 25 min meeting with Gen. McChrystal.
8. Who cares if Obama couldn't talk the IOC into Chicago? He'll be able to talk Iran out of nukes.
7. The impediment is Israel still building settlements.
6. Obviously no president would have been able to accomplish it.
5. We've been quite clear and said all along that we didn't want the Olympics.
4. This isn't about the number of Olympics "lost", it's about the number of Olympics "saved" or "created".
3. Clearly not enough wise Latina judges on the committee.
2. Because the IOC is racist.
1. It's George Bush's fault.

The EOC requires better “party favors” than the boxed set of Oboes speeches in U.S. format.

No, no. The Obamas gave each member of the committee a boxed set of “The West Wing” Season 1 DVDs. Michelle picked them up at a nearby Blockbuster while she was on that shopping trip for organic arugula and baby beets.
She could have gotten them cheaper at Walmart, but their union thug supporters get testy about shopping at Walmart.
