Breaking News:
Joe Biden chosen as Obama's V.P. running mate
The Associated Press has just reported that Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware has been chosen as Barack Obama's running mate for vice president; an official announcement is set for tomorrow. This news comes as the delegates are making their pilgrimage to Denver for the Democratic National Convention next week.
In the meantime, the Olympics in Beijing are beginning to wind down as the United States have reached the 100 medals mark, with 31 of them gold compared to China's 47. The big story from these games may be Michael Phelps, but there were others including the Jamacian track and field team; the "Redeem Team" on their way to right the wrong from Athens four years ago; Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson earning individual golds; and what is perhaps the surprising story of all: Bahrain claiming their first ever Olympic medal -- gold, to be exact -- in the Men's 1500-meter (Rashid Ramzi)!
Two events that made their Olympic debut were open-water swimming and...BMX bike racing?!?!?! Add in motocross racing and skateboarding and we could be seeing the Olympic games become the X Games!
The Games of the 29th Olympiad have proven to be yet another successful one, and the stage will be set for what will transpire for the 30th games in London in 2012. Will Michael Phelps continue his dominance at the old age of 27, or is he calling it a career? Will the U.S. track and field team reclaim all the glory lost by those Jamiacans? And who will be the next gymnastics darling after Shawn and Nastia? After the cauldron is extinguished at the Bird's Nest in Beijing, we'll find out. And with that to go along with this breaking story...so long and stay strong.
Oh yeah...before I go, this Sunday is a big day around here, as it'll be the tenth anniversary of the Allen Report/AllenBlog! Check back here then for a very special blog; now, so long and stay strong!
