yeah, the # of commercials, particularly during the opening ceremonies, was a bit rediculous, but on the other hand, this prediction of most of the time being used for politics hasn't panned out, thankfully.

although given the ratings and the price tag that NBC put on it, neither campaign could really afford it. especially not Kerry given that he's on his limited "public funds" for the most part.

The two good things about the Olympics being on when the kids are supposed to be getting ready for bed are that 1) It's incentive for them to get ready *really* fast, so that they can watch a bit more, and 2) It's a darn good reason for taping them... and then being able to fast-foward through the commercials when we have a chance to watch them the next day (or two... we're a bit behind now for the gymnastics).
