10. Not enough dead people vote at IOC meetings

9. Obama was distracted by a long 12 minute meeting with general McChrystal

8. Who cares if Obama couldn’t talk the IOC into Chicago? He’ll be able to talk Iran out of nukes.

7. Israel still building settlements

5. We’ve been quite clear and said all along that we didn’t want the Olympics.

4. This isn’t about the number of Olympics “lost”, it’s about the number of Olympics “saved” or “created”.

3. Clearly not enough Latina judges were on the committee.

2. Because the IOC is racist.

1. It’s George Bush’s fault.
