Oct. 6, 2009 - No You Can't

Someone owes me $22.

That is the money I spent in July for a Chicago 2016 shirt.

I guess ACORN couldn’t be used to influence the IOC votes last week. Don’t blame it on Rio.

I visited Atlanta before 1996 games and Sydney before the 2000 games. Anyone trying to traverse these cities was incredibly inconvenienced during the long construction phases leading up to games. Sure, the construction job boon and national pride are good for the host country.

But what else?

Oh yeah, the useless T-shirts.
