This is more randomness, but I discovered today that San Diego and Tijuana are considering a joint bid for the 2016 Olympic games.

Am I the only one that thinks this is one of the worst. ideas. ever?

Undoubtedly, the American / Mexican olympic committees would try to take the opportunity and gouge the US / Mexican gov'ts for funding to clean up TJ (if they started now they might just finish by 2016, although I'm probably being generous), but I can't even imagine the amount of red tape that they'd have to go through to even begin considering something like this. Dual nation Olympics? Have any of these folks ever actually been to Tijuana? Frankly, I think someone is smoking the good shit. TJ: The Olympic city.... Hell? It shall freeze over.

Actually, if Austria and Switzerland can manage to host the soccer world championship, then the US and Mexico should manage Olympics. Never underestimate the vile animosities between small and practically powerless countries, yo. We had our own spy affairs, after all!

I don't doubt the desire between the individual countries to host the games again.... but not in Tijuana dude. It's never going to happen.
