Yes, these are indeed all words that at one time in the recent past could describe the United States Olympic teams.
As I sit here in my Barstow Hotel room (thanks for going ALL IN for my lodging Tonto…) covering the Games of the 29th Olympiad, I can only look back in wistful remembrance of a time when the good old US of A dominated all Nations in all the important sports, with the exception of Gymnastics of course.
The Eastern Bloc countries really used to have their way with us in all of those events. And certainly we didn’t produce too many Female Field event winners either. But I digress…
China is kicking our athletic asses in so many traditional American events it makes you wonder if the long feared world Communist take over is at hand.
Quite possibly it is.
Let us examine the current state of affairs. Several sports that used to be automatic GOLD for the US are now seemingly automatic GOLD for China:
Diving - now that Greg Louganis is no longer breaking the surface the Chinese will continue to run wild.
Table Tennis - how the Chinese wrestled world dominance from my Uncle Phil I’ll never know. He could whack that ball while eating a burger and holding a soda at our family reunions in Ohio.
Torture and Political Imprisonment - China has really come far in the latter two events in just the past 10 years, but I have confidence the US will soon reassert it’s grand place at the top of this hallowed heap within the year.
If you are like me, you LOVE the Olympics.
You LOVE the US.
And of course you LOVE being dominant in all things.
With this emergence of China in Olympic prowess you may be feeling a little blue, sad, and weepy. Fret not however.
We Yanks are still quite well represented in other sports.
Baseball - well, we did lose to the South Koreans but… they are our friends against China in all things Martial.
Softball - Is there any one else on the planet that can hit Jennie Finch or Cat Osterman?
Basketball - puhlease…the US will be redeemed.
You will also take pride and happiness to remember that we outdistance China in many other things aside from the sporting world. For instance:
Politics!
In China there is one political party: The Communists. 1.3 billion people all agree…it’s best to live in a commune. I’ll bet that smells wonderful come washing day…
In the US, we have DOUBLE the number of political Parties!!
That’s right we have a full 100% MORE POLITICAL CHOICE than those communists.
In our glorious system, if you don’t like one candidate… you can vote for the other clearly better choice!!
That is a dream come true and proof positive that God Loves Americans and our completely dominant and Democratic way of doing things with little or no illegal influence from smaller wacko ideologues hardly ever even.
Mostly.
Also French Fries. Belgian Waffles. Tacos.
Crazy Mimes.
Ted Nugent, Swedish massages and Panda Express.
Try to find any of THOSE in China.
The US continues to Rock!!
