Music: Bobby Darin, "Beyond the Sea".

Time: Night.

Well, the Beijing Olympics are over. There have been amazing achievements (Is Usain Bolt is a freak of nature, or what? Okay, so maybe the celebration was a little over the top.) and touching tributes like this one.

And there have been huge downers -- many of them courtesy of the hosts, from gymnasts in diapers to Cutegate to the fact that NOT ONE FREAKING PROTEST PERMIT WAS GRANTED.

I was talking to a friend tonight on the phone (land line -- the cell phone mic falling into the same category as a certain Spanish dictator), and the consensus was that this guy provided the lowest point of the Olympics.

We haven't seen the headlines, but we came up with several:

"TAE KWON DON'T"

"TAE KWON DONE"

"TAE KWON DOLT"

"TAE KWON DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HURT ME?"

And, the one that got the biggest giggles from both sides:

"TAE KWON D'OH!"

Thanks. We'll be here all week.
