Well NBC does it again. A media blackout as Usain Bolt breaks Michael Johnson's 12 year record. True to form, NBC is on an internet offensive as it deletes all traces of the video from sites like YouTube and DailyMotion.
This kid is amazing, breaking two world records in the same Olympics. I don't think this has happened before! Well at least according to NBC, it hasn't happened yet ;)
Here is the video:

NBC frustrates American Viewers
Well, looks like I was not alone in my frustrations against the NBC. Judging by the crazy traffic this blog has been getting, track and field lovers were keen to view the 100m final. NBC failed miserably in satisfying its viewers. However, I am sure it satisfied its advertisers with the viewership that saw Phelps break Mark Spitz's record. Washington post has an interesting take on the NBC coverage.
Bottom-line is, unfortunately, those who care enough about NBC's handling of the today's fiasco may be in the minority. After all, who cares about a Jamaican prodigy who just became the fastest man alive!
Michael Phelps who? In what is probably the greatest moment in this Olympics, Usain Bolt of Jamaica won gold 100m dash in 9.69 seconds, a new world record...and he didn't even have to try after the first half of the race. But you wouldn't know it if you were here in U.S...well, if you were not online actively searching for a video clip of it.

Obama and Mccain Share the Same Stage at Saddleback
Well, Rev. Rick Warren did a masterful job today of handling both presumptive candidates today. My first thoughts on this was Obama came of us thoughtful and genuine in his answers. He was more conversational in his approach. As a result we got a better idea of his mental makeup. McCain on the other hand appeared to be in a campaign rally with his stump-speech like responses to the audience. It all seemed rehearsed on his part. He gave the answers you would expect a politician to give. But you could clearly tell that he had the audience in his corner as he rattled of several applause lines. Bottom line nothing changed for McCain, but Obama allowed America to get a better sense of who he is.
Video of Usain Bolt's World Record Breaking Performance!!!
I can understand NBC's need to maximize their revenue by showing a tape delay of the race during prime time. But common! Anyway thanks to the "internets", I found a copy of the exhilarating race!
Woeful Olympics Coverage by NBC as US Misses Usain Bolt's Incredible Feat
Just read that Usain Bolt has put in an incredible performance in the Olympic's marquee event, the 100M. And would you believe it, the NBC network failed to show it live!!! Am I the only one who is mad about this!

Oh boy, this is beginning to get really embarrassing for the former presidential contender. There is now photographic proof!
It is all a matter of time before it explodes in the main stream media:
