London gets the 2012 Olympics

Well looks like the French are going to nurse another defeat. I think this is a good thing since London hasn't hosted one since 1948. The French are going to freak out if they don't get the next one though. Not hosting one since 1924 must feel pretty crappy. Maybe they will be the Chicago Cubs of the Olympics. Also it seems being around Bush is rubbing off on Tony Blair:

"Many people do reckon that London is the greatest city in the whole world at the moment," an exultant Blair said after hearing the result in Gleneagles, Scotland, where he is hosting the G-8 summit.

"I do reckon it, I tell ya what." *said in a Hank Hill drawl*

Joe. It serves France right. England and France fought 30 wars with each other in the last 1,000 years. I do not know what the score is but England just one that one. Dad.
