So there's this brouhaha over an ad that the bush campaign is running about the Olympics, citing the Iraqi and Afghanistan teams as two new* democracies. The United States Olympic Committee has asked the Bush campaign to pull the ad because they have rights to term "Olympics." (I think they've been fairly agressive in defending their copyright.) The campaign told them to fuck off.
Apparently the IOC, isn't overjoyed with the Bush administration's response, though officially it's a Bush/USOC dispute, there's been a suggestion that the refusal to push the ads pretty much eliminates New York's chances of getting the games in 2012. From what I've heard from friends in Atlanta, New Yorkers may consider crossing the aisle in thanks.

They should. Who wants this garbage anyway? Certainly not the residents. Nor the overtaxed police. Nor local businesses.
