Beijing 2008, London 2012 … Taiwan 2020?
From the department of stupid ideas:
Speaking on the same day the International Olympic Committee tapped London as the city to host the 2012 Olympic Games, Premier Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) yesterday told the public Taiwan should campaign to stage the 2020 Olympic Games.
Although Taiwan has successfully hosted sporting events like the baseball World Cup in 2001, and has won the rights to host the 2009 World Games (these games involve such well-known sports as ‘artistic roller skating’, ‘dance sports’ and ‘tug-of-war’) in Kaohsiung, something tells me that bidding for the Olympics is a recipe for disaster.
Of course, this is more likely to be an effort by the government to get the KMT to oppose an Olympic bid (thus showing their true unpatriotic nature) as well as to get the PRC to shut out any Taipei bid (thus showing the unjust treatment of Taiwan by China). The idea of a bid will no doubt sink without a trace after a bit of a slanging match between the DPP-KMT and foaming at the mouth by the PRC.

anything you can do as well or better while drunk is not a sport, and binge eating certainly falls into that category (as do bowling, darts, billiards, cards, dogsled racing, and golf). While on things Olympic, you’ll get very generous odds onTaiwan 2020. Singapore’s blogging convention, Bloggers.SG 2005, is being held next weekend. Somehow they got Microsoft to buy them drinks. Richard is having doubts about Jung Chang’s new Mao biography and its seeming contradictions with her earlier Wild Swans.
