China’s Awe-inspiring Coming Out Party
Congratulations to China, who — despite predictions of epic failure, and regardless of what may happen in the coming days (from heavy smog to heavy-handed tactics with the press) — just schooled the entire world in how to stage an epic spectacle with the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. All kinds of awesome.
