Ain't nobody at the Olympics. The stands are very sparsely populated except for some of the bigger events. I thought that back in 2000 and 1996, every event was nearly sold-out. Even the preliminary rounds of table tennis. What gives? Bob Costas sez that people in Greece are on vacation. So what? It's not like it's difficult for other Europeans to get there.
I'm guessing that all the talk of Greece not being ready in time led people to decide not to travel there. The terra talk might not have helped too much either. So we're only a stone's throw from blaming Bush. And really, isn't that the point?

Off I go to the Maryland MVA for what is sure to be a lesson in organizational efficiency and total quality management.
