Dodging an Olympian sized bullet

Folks in DMV can breath easy.  Boston was selected as the American city to be put forward to the International Olympic Committee to host the 2024 summer Olympics, besting LA, San Francisco, and DC.

This is good news for many reasons!

1.  Hipsters and athletes don't mix.  Yes, they are both skinny, but only one is emaciated.   

2.  Politicians and athletes don't mix well either.  The doughy unhealthy look is popular in Congress.  Congress is all about that base, no treble.   

3.  Ok, both groups do like to drink.  But one will be off the sauce at game time.  

4.  Metro can't handle 4 inches of snow.  The Olympics would destroy it.

5.  The Olympics does not have a 'hot air bloviating' contest.  The area's pompous asses would have taken their balls and stomped off home when they found that out.    

6.   The Swiss crooksInternational Olympic Committee will get their public assistance checks from someone else's tax base.   

7.  The endless chatter about how much the DC2024 team cares about lining their pocketsDC will stop. 

8.  Dan Snyder won't have yet another way to make money on a losing team. 

9.  Traffic will remain in Dante's first circle of hell instead of descending into the ninth circle, where the millions of people all fleeing hurricanes at the same time live.      

10.  More time to focus on the antics of Kirby DeLauter, Kirby DeLauter, Kirby DeLauter!
