"I have a very bitter taste in my mouth from the 2004 Olympics, as if I just ate a sour grapefruit or something. This summer in Beijing, we’re going to drink a lot of Kool-Aid, because revenge is going to be sweet."
This is from Carmelo Anthony's initial entry in his blog on the New York Times for Beijing. Blogging is all good and well, but when both writer and host site are major commercial enterprises, it would be good to employ editors, because one year of education at Syracuse does not apparently protect one from the old foot in the mouth syndrome. After all, in common parlance, Anthony just told us that the US basketball team will be deluded into committing mass suicide, Guyana-style. He apparently has heard the phrase "drink the Kool-Aid," he just didn't get it.

Obviously he should bone-up on his vocabulary and expand his knowledge of history. Methinks an emergency shipment of enhancement cream might accomplish both tasks. P.S. Do not use the Chinese enhancement cream, it's counterfeit.
