OK since I am too busy to leave chit chat I am not sure if there is a thread on this but it needed to be shared:

Justin Bieber
I Don't Do Lines
Wheelchairs it at Disneyland

Justin Bieber + wheelchair + Disneyland = I get to cut to the front of the line! Or at least that's how it looks.

Justin was at the happiest place on earth in Anaheim Sunday and posed with a fan while in a wheelchair. The girl posted the photo with the caption ... "I love how he just pretended to be a normal person on a wheelchair."

Of course, the immediate reaction online was that Justin was a line scofflaw ... but Justin's camp tells TMZ that wasn't the case. We're told Bieber was nursing a knee injury from basketball and only sat in the wheelchair to rest for a few moments.

Even more interesting ... we're told Justin wouldn't need the wheelchair to cut lines, because Disney already escorts him in and out of rides to avoid huge crowds gathering when he's in the park.

In other news... Justin Bieber coughed last night. Is it a sign of a bigger problem? We'll examine tonight on ET.

Yeah, I doubt he needs a wheelchair to cut lines.
The guy's a jerk for so many reasons, but this probably isn't one of them.

Nothing to see here, moving along.

Well, talking to my mom, playing the Wii, and watching baseball has not helped me feel any better about that odd-looking mole. Weird, I wasn't worried about it and thought I was crazy until the doctor said that he was concerned about it too. I keep telling myself all the good things, that no one in my family has a history of skin cancer, that the mole wasn't deep so even if it was cancerous, it's probably all gone now, but it doesn't make me feel any better. Really wish I were in school so that I could go talk to someone a little more about it and probably a counselor to help me work through the fear of it all. Probably also has something to do with the fact that my grandmother died of cancer. But since I'm not and since I have absolutely no time to go down to school, it's a waiting game, one that I'm very bad at.

Prayers that it's nothing serious.

That's pretty much it, and might I just say...
YUM-O-RAMA!!!

Thanks. That's a lot of pressure.
I am flat out of ideas, for some reason. Best let someone else pick this week.

And I'm off to the funeral home. Back in a couple of hours.

Can't imagine why I bothered to put on any makeup though.

While I agree, and a boycott would be a tragedy for the athletes involved, the Olympics are nothing but a political venture, starting from the selection process riddled with bribery and scandal.

Hosting the Olympics padded Putin's pockets and boosted his ego. Dude didn't even wait for the Paralympics to start before invading a foreign sovereign nation.

The Olympics survived the 1980 and subsequent 1984 boycotts. They would have survived this one too.

Sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand.

I don't agree with forcing the innocent into being pawns for others political agendas. There are enough tragedies in the world without throwing individual athletes under the bus as collateral damage.

As I said before my BFF DD was an Olympian in England, a rower. She has been a dedicated athlete since she was 5 years old like many of these athletes. To pull her out of the Olympics would have changed nothing in the scope of what happening that year in the world and there is always unrest in the World. What it would have done is changed her life forever and greatly impacted her future career that was a direct result of her being an Olympian.

Possibly the Canadian hockey team might have been willing to withdraw from the Olympics. They are already professionals and possibly they agree they should have stayed home, gave that up the hunt for Gold for the line in the sand, with a belief that it is only a political venture and not about their team or their worldwide talent or pride.

About half of the Olympic hosts loose money. While many claim to have made money most of those are not including their direct and indirect expenses along with payments that continue for decades to come. Roads and Structures are often covered by governmental bodies in budget line items and take funds away from schools and other social services. It is difficult to recoup those programs while the government continues to finance these years after the Olympics are over. Olympic committees generally do not go over budget and do not over spend, it is all the contributing governmental bodies that do not get their funds returned to their budgets when the Olympics are over, they don't get refunds from the hotel receipts, food or ticket sales. That is generally right out of tax payers pockets as a contribution. I have to say Russia is not the only country that has egos involved in hosting. Most hosts have a great deal of pride when hosting the Olympics and showing their cities off to the world.

I love watching the Olympics, especially swimming. I enjoy watching the flags go up, the pride in the athletes faces and those of us watching them are generally pretty darn proud of them too. As I watch our flag raised for any of our athletes I am not concerned with politics and I bet that isn't what is on the minds of those with medals around their neck despite what is going on around the world. I love that this a tradition of hundreds of nations that has continued on through Wars and unrest for hundreds of years and will likely continue for many more.
