    I think Rio gets it, but I'm rooting for Chicago.

    As someone who attended the Pan Am Games in 2007, Rio would be a major clusterfuck.

    If I were still working, I'd sure want it to be Rio. Chicago is likely to win out, as the African delegates (who usually decide these matters) are very open-minded. Open your wallet, and they mind you.

    Well, then it's got to be Chicago. No one has a longer history with or does bribery better than the Windy City. And they can even throw in some extortion to boot, gratis.

    Atlanta should host it permanently.

    Oh, Tim is officially predicting that Beijing will get the 2008 games.

    A little ahead of schedule. I guess he's just living on the edge with this one....

    I can't see past the clusterfuck potential.
