Two things will drive me crazy watching the Olympics this year:
1) The worldwide Media is going to paint a picture of an ugly China. Every injustice and social issue that china has will be spotlighted one by one as if each one was the beginning of the end of the world. (I am not saying that the problems are real.) Sensationalistic news reporting will be at it’s best. I am going to kick the next person I hear call China, “Red” China in the shins, hard.
2) Domestic media will paint a picture of China that is perfect. Every single injustice and social issue that does exist and plague the Chinese people will be swept under a humongous Olympic-sized rug. Thousands of Chinese with smiling faces and full 
stomachs will sing a thousand praises to communism, Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and the great Motherland.
I don’t blame China for their biased media and I don’t blame the national media (NBC) for wanting to give their audience a good show. I just know I am going to wrythe and squirm every time I see a blatently exaggerated or half-truth reported to the world as reality. The world is ignorant and will eat it up.

Jason, you need to play a little more golf. Take a few deep breaths and relax. I have noticed the last few posts have been increasingly agitated. I just don’t want you to have a coronary before we get to hit the links again!
A lack of playing golf has not been a problem
I will post a “happy” blog for you here in a couple weeks.
