Where Should the Focus of Olympic Protest Lie?new
The pre-emptive repression of political speech of Olympic athletes is mind boggling. The entire reason the Olympics are even in Beijing is political in nature -- an effort by the West to embrace China as a 21st-century economic and military superpower. So why shouldn't athletes be allowed to voice protest?

Shedding Light on the Olympic Torchnew
China wants the torch to travel through the nations of Western Europe and the United States as well as Tibet as a way to spread the gospel of China's global reach. The torch's 1936 route was also planned with political considerations in mind. The torch was carried exclusively through European areas where the Third Reich wanted to extend its reach: particularly southeastern and central regions.

The Brett Favre Archetype Remains a Restricted Clubnew
