I heard people gossiping about little brawl broken out between Moscow and Georgia. The assassin stepped down from presidency to be PM and now turned to be a bully. The West can’t do a thing. America’s army ties down in the Mid east. Might it be the French or German’s turn to police the world?
I couldn’t remember seeing it or read about it, but during one of Phelps’ eight gold medal podium moments (the 6th I think), the US national anthem was cut short, while Bushes were in attendance. ‘Got the land of the free but apparently the home of the brave was no longer available. Did someone foreclose?’ as one writer asked. So I wasn’t the only anal one who noticed, and I wasn’t the only boring one who even linger for the ceremony.
A technical error, or sour grape over one Yankee’s hauling up so many gold? OR .. they meant business??
I was upset. US deserves respects. Beside, a good host would never embarrass her guest. You want to make them feel welcome and comfortable. That’s hospitality 101. I happened to like the The Star Spangled Banner and love to hear it in its entirety.
There are many other ways to show off your rising power and influence.
New money never smells good and feels right.
