]]> Comment on How to determine which country “wins” the Olympics by someguy http://exaltedwisdom.com/2008/08/olympic-medal-scoring-for-the-countries-golds-or-total-medals/#comment-794 someguy Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:25:44 +0000 http://exaltedwisdom.com/?p=235#comment-794 I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but "most of the world" uses the correct method of determining who "wins" the Olympics. That method is the same method that the IOC uses to determine who "won" a particular Olympic games. Gold medals are counted first, then silver and then bronze. I know it sucks because you have to fact the truth: the US came up short this year. Plain and simple.

I would go with total medal count, but as you say, METAL count seems to be the deciding factor in most people's minds. good blog, keep up the good work.

]]> Comment on Russia refuses to withdraw from Georgia by jake_s http://exaltedwisdom.com/2008/08/russia-refuses-to-withdraw-from-georgia/#comment-777 jake_s Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:24:16 +0000 http://exaltedwisdom.com/?p=234#comment-777 Stalin gave Ossetia to the Georgians, so now NATO debates how to best enforce Stalin's order. That's backwards. Give the Ossetians their freedom from Stalin's order just like Stalin's other victims got. Georgia started this war in a sneak attack timed to the start of the Olympics. Curse them for that. This ugly war happened because the West ignored the prior war in which many thousands died, that ended in 1992 with Georgia agreeing not to take South Ossetia by force and Russia guaranteeing that if they did they would intervene militarily. It was both stupid and evil for Saakashvilli to break those 1992 accords that kept peace in the region and launch hot war again. It was doubly stupid for him to think that Russia, already itching for an excuse to slap Georgia, would not leap at the convenience of them being *required* to act militarily under the 1992 agreement guaranteeing South Ossetian self-rule. The way forward from here does not start by pretending that prior peace agreements meant nothing and that Georgia's commitment not to use force on South Ossetia didn't matter. Shame on you Condi for whitewashing a sneak attack. Since when did enforcing Stalin's decisions and praising sneak attacks become US / NATO policy?

Isn't it like Shakespeare said, "Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"? I mean, the Olympics is being held in a Communist country that oppresses its own people.
