Here is an article quoting Bob "I have been reporting the Olympics since it's inception" Costas letting Michal Phelps know that he is the "#1 celebrity" in the world.

First of all, does Costas even know what facebook is? I am very sure someone born in '52 has no idea how little of an effect that Intenet 2.0 has on anything. If popularity or "celebrity" status were determined by FB then Barack Osama would clearly be more popular than John Mccain in our national election. According to http://www.realclearpolitics.com/ there is a statistical tie between the two candidates.

Micheal Phelps won 8 Gold medals in Beijing this year. A couple of those were obtained by a finger nail's length.

NBC is missing the true talent. Usain Bolt is the athlete to watch. He is on the cusp of a trend that will redefine the 100M and 200M event. For the past two to three decades no Gold medalist sprinter has been over 6'4", and certainly none have coasted that last half of the race.

One would think the sprinting scene is seeing a change in the making. From short, barrel chested, Deon Sanders look alikes; to tall, long-legged,"I am the next Randy Moss".

But according to Costas, Facebook has spoken.

here is a link to an article about people that still believe that the earth is flat. They are called Flat earthers. Despite the Alaskan Mountains of evidence that the earth really is round they still are extremely set on their theory.

I am not here to say they are wrong for believing what they believe. I personally have used a GPS device and have taken enough physics classes, and seen Apollo 13 enough, and have been to the top of the World Trade Center(to see the curve in the earth), and have seen the top of the mast first when a ship is sailing toward me from the hozizon, and well you get the point.

Again, I am not here to disagree with their right to believe. I am here to swiftly comment on the obstanance that organizations give people. I know there are certain values and ethos that I adhere to because of the organizations that I belong to. I hope I am only persuaded to follow the influences of the Holy Ghost.
