For rent . . .

Three bedroom condo, with sun room, formal dining room, two baths, washer/dryer, dishwasher. Two blocks from bus to Olympic stadium, walking distance to stadium if you are feeling athletic yourself. Available summer, 2016. Exorbitant rent will finance owner's escape from the insanity.

Can you tell I'm not happy? Two more years of Mayor Daley lying about how this won't cost the taxpayers any money. Yeah, right. Could we all send positive vibes for Rio (or any other city that's in contention)?

London 2012 is about to go through the roof and there are already mutterings on failure to manage costs.

An ex-boyfriend of mine was the PR Director for the bid process, so I'm not surprised that the costs were "spun" so well and are only now starting to really appear. He jumped ship after we won the Games - quelle surprise!
