I now know way too much about ‘Dressage’ and not enough about NASA’s spacecraft landing (soon?) on Mars. So here’s a funny and informative Colbert report on that…

Team Cambodia didn’t win any medal but as Pierre de Cobertin, the French educator credited with being responsible for the revival of the Olympic games said in 1894, “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part, the essential thing in life is not conquiering but fighting well.”
 
Team Cambodian fought bravely, so in the spirit of a fan, I send my bravos to the Cambodian athletics and others like them out there who played a great game. Peace & Cheers, LU
