I wasn't paying close attention, unforunately and yes I had forgotten about the scandal in the SLC... What about that Altanta and advertisers? And yes, there's a different between a country and a continent.
To think of it, though, I'm not sure where else in the Western Hemisphere there's the required infrastructure to host Olympics. I don't think Haiti is going to be very high on the list, nor will be Cuba.
BTW, land claim is in reference to Antarctica. The way I figure it, if global warming is going to melt polar caps, I might as well grab me some 100 acres real estate...
