Lights Out in Paris – Olympic Torch Stumbles Along

Exactly what did the International Olympic Committee think when they chose Beijing as the destination for the 2008 Summer Games? There has been plenty of strange activity in China the past couple of months as the dictator-at-large tries to “clean up” the place.

SI.com is reporting that the Olympic Torch is having quite a tough time today making it through the streets of Paris. As a matter of fact, security gave up quite a few times and just took it onto the bus for a good portion of the route.

Hot Air has more, Malkin has information concerning Tibetan violence in southwest China and of course we can’t forget the stories about “moving” the stray cats out of Beijing and not treating the homeless and beggers  of the city much better – they’re moving them to labor camps.
