Dark Day

Today is a dark day for our nation. The United States men's basketball team was defeated this afternoon by Argentina in the semifinals of the Olympic games. For only the third time in history, the United States will not win the gold medal in men's basketball.

There is one silver lining, though. The last time that the United States failed to win the gold medal in basketball, the American people rallied around the flag and elected a man named George Bush to the Presidency.
