Terminator to carry torch. Unfortunately it will be in front of a green screen in a studio in Burnaby.

Why This Is Vancouver's Last Super Spectacle. Because We Built This City on Boosterism, but we've done run out of room.

Protesters target torch. "Anti-Olympic activists are making no secret of where and when they plan to protest against the Olympic flame as torch-bearers wend their way through Metro Vancouver. (a) But the activists are not saying exactly what they're planning to do. (b) The ironically named 2010 Welcoming Committee announced (c)... their group had been infiltrated by undercover police and said the infiltrators might try to cause trouble so that uniformed police could crack down. A similar ruse was said to have been tried at a G7 summit meeting in Montebello, Que., in 2007 when police allegedly (d) disguised themselves as demonstrators but were discovered".

a) Why should they
b) That's because it depends entirely on how the guys with batons and shields behave
c) How is that ironic exactly?
d) Allegedly, on video mind you, but allegedly

An Olympic disaster? Complete rubbish

Wherein official sponsor of the 2010 Winter Games takes on those grumpy brits at The Guardian. "If you're going to say the Vancouver Games cost $6-billion, have the decency to note $4-billion is for infrastructure that was going to get built anyway".

OK, if we're going to have an honest discussion Gary, let's not argue on the price tag but ask how we're going to pay for it, and how long that's going to take? Let's just pretend that every cost expenditure was completely warranted, including the triple over budget convention centre next to a convention centre in the age of the internet. The Sea to Sky was going to get built anyways you say, but would Harriet Nahanee have died?

The RAV Line was going to built anyways you say, but would we have ram-rodded it through council, inflated ridership numbers, forced it to go down Cambie, then switched to cut and cover at the last minute? Let's pretend Translink didn't go bankrupt forcing them to raise fares, tax parking stalls, and cancel the Evergreen Line.

Let's pretend that the Athlete's Village didn't go bankrupt and we didn't bail them out under a shroud of secrecy. Let's pretend that VANOC did everything right and held open and transparent meetings and did its best to dissuade Olympic evictions, let's pretend they're not spending a billion on security, only to harass local activists.

Who Are the 2010 Protesters? No no you are not supposed to ask that! That's like asking "who are these Al Qaida people?". No, it is much better that they remain bandana-clad anarchist thugs.

In what was surely unintentional, Vancity Buzz has made one of the better anti-Olympic blog posts of late.

Obama won't visit Vancouver for 2010 Olympics. Ok if he's not going I'm not going.

Over the years cougar, black bear and even Sasquatch sightings have been reported at Mount Washington. But until now, the odds have been stacked against catching a glimpse of a black person.

Oh man it just keeps on getting better Olympic lineups to be hours long. Don't get me wrong, I'd line up for hours to see Christians thrown to lions too but come on, a guy has gotta live, y'know? (Are we still not laughing at that?)

Vancouver's Olympics head for disaster. Haddow says what I've been saying forever, and that is that VANOC and colluding government did everything in its power to lend credence to every critic of the games by doing everything badly and under a veil of secrecy. There is a palpable sense of dread in this town.

At least there's one politician who still has some ethics. "The five-ring freebiefest is about to kick into high gear". Give me some shit. I want to go.

I wanna see the inspiring images from the more than 900 cameras that RCMP led Integrated Security Unit has installed. NINE HUNDRED!!!

Canada Pavilion remains a mystery 'fuelling speculation by some critics that the pavilion was an ill-conceived rush job'. Interesting, you could use that exact phrase to describe the entire Olympics.
