We'll know in a few hours if the 2016 Games will be held in Chicago. Chicago will be first up at 8:50 AM Copenhagen time in making its final 45 minute presentation to the IOC, followed by 15 minutes of questions and answer.
It will then be followed by Tokyo at 10:30 AM, then Rio at 12:10 PM and Madrid at 2:50 PM
The 106 IOC members will start voting by secret ballot at 5:10 PM. All IOC members with a candidate city in the running won't be allowed to vote until their city is eliminated. That's means the eight members from the US, Brazil, Japan and Spain won't vote in the first round. That means there will be 98 members voting in the first round. First one to get 55 votes wins the bid. Voting should be completed by 5:40 PM with the live televised announcement ceremony scheduled from 6:30 to 7 PM
But while we wait for the vote and the final decision, let see what fool won the gold medal for stupidity.
As usual, there were many worthy candidates for our Shut Up Fool award. The perennial suspects in Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity. Michelle Malkin was considered, along with Michael Steele and Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ)
But the runaway winner this week was Rep. Michele Bachmann. (R-MN)
In the latest attempt to kill health care reform, she took it to another ridiculous extreme by claiming the school based health clinics would begin offering abortions.
FYI, here's what Section 2511 of the health care bill referred to by Rep. Bachmann actually states. (i) "SBHC services will be provides in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws governing-- (I) obtaining parental or guardian consent; and (II) patient privacy and student records, including section 264 of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and section 444 of the General Education Provision Act;
Stop the conservalies. This bill doesn't mention abortion, and she knows it.Is it November 2010 yet?
All together gang, Rep. Michele Bachmann, shut up fool!
