Olympic boycotts

Some people think that politics and sport shouldn't mix. Sporting boycotts played a major role in isolating South Africa over its past apartheid policy.

No countries are brave enough to boycott the Beijing Olympics. The only team that might consider it, isn't even a country.

Today was a do nothing day. I did catch the latest episode of Smallville, and the first two episodes of Torchwood via the internet. I meant to de-clutter and de-junk, but spending time on the couch was just too appealing.
