Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I've been out for some time, but I have to post this.
You know the right wing that's gloating about Chicago losing? Well, to make you feel better, I offer you the BRAZILIAN right wing. Nay, I offer you the LATIN AMERICAN right wing. They're spontaneously combusting in hate right now. All the Latin American lefties that are so much hated by right wingers (including some notorious ones that made DU unpalatable to me lately) WON AND THEY WON BIG.

LULA IS THE MAN. Obama himself said so. That, too, made wingnuts seeth in rage. Well, fuck them. Fuck them all. Some of those are reading this just now, so FUCK YOU TOO.

And to all Americans who are not assholes (there are many many of them), I love you. You know who you are.

I work in downtown Rio. The entire city let out a GIGANTIC SCREAM OF JOY the moment it was announced. I'm teary-eyed.

That will be all. Have a nice day.

11. I would translate some of the Brazilian freeperness
But I don't have the stomach.

Let's just say it's teabagger level. Since 2003. Imagine that. No, wait, in 2015 you won't have to imagine.

7. I'm so happy for you! It's your time and it's MORE than fair, and I heard the
presentation was BRILLIANT and uplifting. I was surprised to hear that the Olympics had never been held in SA -- WTF??

Hope it brings nothing but joy and prosperity to the wonderful people of Brazil! :hi:

15. Lula is a man?
I always wondered about that song.

elL-you-ell-aye Lula. Lu lu lu-lu Lula.


I was rooting for Brazil. We had 1984 and 1996, and South America has never had it.

And you can tell all the pretty girls in Rio that I said aye oh chi amo (even if I cannot spell it). Viva Brazil!

but I am still employed. If I hear of any jobs in the industry I will PM you.

31. I am gloriously unaware of how architects seek employment.
What kind of business hire them? Isn't it always on a per-work basis?

Thanks for the report on local reactions there. Remember your rain coat and goggles. Don't want you to get mussed up from exploding winger brains raining down.

I'm happy for the whole country. I hope this brings good things for the people.

And CPD? We love you, too. B-)

BTW, LOVE the patriotic Brazilian smilie!

34. Well congratulations to Rio - We don't deserve it here. Why when
you have american republicans extremist (they know who they are)hating minorities. Why would the committee give it to us. I thank President Obama for at least trying and showing what class he and Mrs Obama have by congraduling Rio. It is so sad the republicans want our country to fail. They rather see america fail than to give any credit to Obama. How sad.

39. Hey, anything that ticks off wrong-wingers is MORE than okay by me!
Edited on Sat Oct-03-09 10:08 PM by calimary
If they hate it, there must be something very good and positive about it. A pretty reliable barometer all around, as I've discovered. If it upsets the bad guys, then it's a good thing to be supported and cheered and protected. Besides, it's kinda nice to see a city that never got a chance - get one now.

congrats

And by the way, there is more to just Rio winning... one reason we lost, apparently our scary immigration officers, and I can testify to that...

Thanks George...

I feel very good about the Olympics going to a continent that's never had it before, over the US which takes it for granted. And I KNOW you guys know how to host a good time down there!
