David’s Journal

A few months late, I finally removed the graphic that existed over there, to the right. It was meant to follow the November election, but that election is kinda sorta over.

I have replaced it with the badge for the official Chicago 2016 Olympic Bid, under the same headline (“The Race Is On”). I figure I want Chicago to get positive global attention, but I don’t actually live there anymore, so I won’t have to put up with the hassle of the Olympics happening locally.

Besides: Chicago’s domestic competition is Los Angeles?? San Francisco, an early opponent, would have been a worthy competitor.

That is, until Mayor Newsom of San Francisco quite embarrassingly got caught with his city’s pants down. The stadium he was proposing to use for the Olympics was going to double as the 49ers’ new stadium as well.

No one bothered to tell this to the 49ers, who decided to (publicly) announce (to everyone’s surprise) that they were actually going to move the team to Santa Clara. Oops.

As it turns out, nothing is certain. Nothing, except that San Francisco is out of the race.

Go, Chicago, go.

Update: Well, the good news is that Chicago beat L.A. The bad news is that the logo has been deemed illegal, so it will need to be revised.
