    Just read where the start of the men's race Saturday morning may have to be delayed because of heavy smog. Looks like the cyclists aren't asshats after all.

    Buried in the story is the discrepancy between Beijing Olympic Committee air quality reports and others who are measuring it. And while the World Health Organization says that anything over 50 is harmful, the Chinese government uses a threshhold of 100.The BBC has been taking handheld particulate matter readings, which have been significantly higher than those published by the city. The British Broadcasting Corp. reported 134 micrograms per meter July 28. The city reported 98, far above the World Health Organization's guidelines for healthy air of 50.

    Let's all remember, too, that China would be exempt from the Kyoto Treaty that so many on the left want us to sign.

    Why should accuracy matter to him? We're all wingnuts to him so we don't matter.

    OK, it's fixed. Now tell me again: Why should China be exempt?
