End of day in Beijing (Thursday, August 21 2008)
Shocker of the day - USA ladies softball tem loses to Japan...
Non-shocker of the day - apparently Beijing is full of official Chinese hit squads, that constantly roam (pardon me, "patrol") the city, rip out or paint over any “unwelcome” graffiti or signs (including the logos of companies who are not olympic sponsors), squash all visible (and many invisible...) forms of dissent and protest within nanoseconds by snatching and detaining the protesters, journalists and bystanders… All that after forcing a few million “undesirables” to leave the city for the Olympics… Long live Chinese democracy!

Sad note, a Polish sports official (rowing) Andrzej Baczewski died in Beijing on Tuesday of apparent heart attack while entering the Olympic Stadium.
Not so sad note from the land of the truly stupid, another Polish sports official Jerzy SudoĊ got kicked out from the Olympic Village for (what else..!) public drunkenness. What a moron!!!
