The real worry, as I understand the story from my Greek father-in-
law, is what state Athens will be in at Olympics-time.
They're hustling from behind schedule on myriad projects,
basically relying on the Greek habit of finishing at the
last minute to pull things through.

What this will mean is that security should be excitingly
paranoid for the Olympics.

Well if the US is a no show, maybe the rest of the world
will enjoy the Olympics due to how hated we are now.

Oh yeah, what does this have to do with cycling?

Right. It's got nothing at all to do with cycling.

Why?

Coz eveybody knows that cyclists are such drugged up Wankerz
(just ask the modern day Shylocks) that the IOC, despite
pleas by cycling's biggest booster, [censored] (by Name and
Nature) Pound to reconsider, have cancelled all the cycling
events at this year's Jingoistic Junket.

So who cares who the Tin-Pot roof falls on (supposing it
ever gets installed in the first place).

Maybe the 18 cycling golds that are due to be decided
in Athens?

Pity the road cyclists.

Not a problem; didn't anybody tell you that the search
parties are still out for about a dozen coureurs who were
unlucky enough to fall into the potholes in the roads in the
1996 Tour de France?

It would mean no medal chances for Lance or any other
american cyclists. Happy about that? I'm not.

No I am not happy about that, but I do feel we will not
go. We are just not in harmony with the rest of the world
right now.

People are worried about the Greeks being ready, but I don't
think they will have a problem. I just can't help but to be
concerned for certain countries athletes if they go.

Yeah, I guess I didn't look at it that way. Do you really
think the US will show up?

I listened to a bit more about this on the BBC this morning,
NATO will be providing additional security.

Still, these were three bombs outside a Police Station in
central Athens. You'd think they would at least have some
kind of surveilence system which would pick up the activity.
