Not of special interest for cycling, but I had to post.

farking serious ? fark ! actually who gives a ****.....

So their sneak attack during the Olympics backfired. What does that have to do with their Olympic athletes?

It looks like a stupid play for sympathy from the world community. Georgia's leader was on TV yesterday pleading for the West to pull his chestnuts out of the fire he himself lit.

In any event, a sad day. I have worked quite a bit in Georgia, a wonderful people, bad President. Yes, his blitz backfired.

Sad that this all happened the opening day of the Olympics.
