"I've never really had a disappointment like this," said Ken Rudd, a 33-year-old salesman from Evergreen Park. "This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen."
What could he be talking about? Did he just find out his wife gave birth to a stillborn infant? Were his parents murdered during a home invasion? Maybe it was that he got passed over for a promotion, or one of his kids was diagnosed with cancer? Uh, his dog had to be euthanized? His tax return caught fire before he had a chance to mail it in? No, it was...Chicago getting passed over for the 2016 Olympics!
WTF? Either this man has been blessed with a worry-free life or he is an idiot. Who cares where the Olympics are played, other than the participating athletes and of course, Barry and Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey?
That trio had visions of dollar signs in their heads already, enough to cause them to fly to Copenhagen (gee, I wonder who paid for that trip Air Force One, its double decoy plane, and the plane carrying Obama's bullet-proof limo made?) to make the pitch to the IOC.
If the city of Chicago had won, they might have had added some intriguing new sports:
1. Running from the Gangs
2. Running from the Police
3. Getting Tasered by the Police
4. Outing Sleazy Politicians
5. Finding a Decent Pizza
Congrats, Rio!

the olympics are fine but they should discontinue all the crap that comes with the games, i.e., opening and closing ceremonies. all that money, it's obscene. the host countries should be required to give that money to feed and house the homeless or something.
