Random #1: Matt Lauer and Al Roker are so funny. This is why I love The Today Show.
Random #2: I’m not sure lowering the legal drinking age is a good idea. I understand the notion that this stems from– a sort of reverse psychology approach. Yeah, college freshman will have easier access thus, presumably, making it less enticing to get sloshed. Maybe fewer young and blissfully ignorant girls will be sucked into the party of the frats notorious for having every type of alcohol imaginable and playing every drinking AND finding themselves in some compromising position or worse. But for all the pros, there are cons. High schoolers are already part of the binge drinking culture; this would just make it way too easy. Or perhaps the advocates of lowering the drinking age think the same positive effects will happen for that age group. Though, it seems only college students are factoring into this theory and even that’s not a guarantee.
Random #3: I’m really pissed that Alicia Sacramone was robbed in such a shameless manner of the bronze medal for the individual vault. That damn Cheng Fei chic F****** FELL!!! I don’t care about a higher degree of difficulty, she FELL ON HER KNEES! The execution score was too high. Alicia should have gotten the bronze. They even had Bela Karolyi fired up stating that it was “a ripoff”.
And speaking of shady business in Olympic gymnastics, those Chinese gymnasts, with Cheng Fei as the exception, ARE NOT 16! The Olympic committee has been bamboozled. They are great gymnasts but they have not and will not meet the minimum age requirement this year. It ain’t right…
