5. Yes, and they can spell English words properly.
Despite the fact that they probably speak more than 1-2 languages.

For anyone who watch John Oliver's interview with the SA sellers who were kept away from stadiums, those people speak at least 3 languages, if not more.

6. So true! But even during his 'down time' I bet he's consumed by it,
and has that knot in his stomach. Just like all of us when we have a pressing problem.

Wish we would have won, but it was exciting nonetheless. Hope he saw the sign!

7. I was a little upset to see Rahm talking to him while he is watching..
I'd almost bet it was business and I could only think, "Come on let the guy watch in peace."

8. Damn. I hope to hell these photos are seen by Canadians who have dished out
over 1.2 billion dollars so Harper could have good photo-ops while he is spouting off about the summit's importance. Summit Shummit. I bet every G20 leader has their attention if not their eyes glued to the World Cup matches. What unending idiocy to hold a summit during the World Cup.


BTW Obama doesn't look like he is giving much thought to Harper's insistence that the US and other G20 countries have to stop stimulus spending.
