    Default Congratulations, Rio!

    I think they made a great decision by awarding the 2016 Olympics to Rio. Congratulations and good luck!

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Yeah congratulations! Chicago was out after round 1 despite of Barry's jetting personally to Copenhague.

    In Brasil they speak Portuguese, not Spanish, btw.

    First ever Olympics in South America. That's kind of a big deal.
