From London: columns, fashion, pictures, and I just can't help myself

First phone booth I've seen since about '99.

The Brits LOVE their Britishness.

I got your Big Ben right here.

LONDONUSA Basketball is my favorite team in sports. My gosh, they are spectacular. The athleticism, speed, force, unselfishness … it’s how basketball should be played.

So shame on the NBA for wanting to ruin it.

My other column today is about how you people and your Twitter are totally screwing with NBC’s Olympics.

Also, I hope you’ll read this piece from Sunday about the most important big picture trend of these Olympics.

Today’s observation: the fashion similarities between many young European men and the Great American Douchebag are just striking.

Enjoy some pictures, and you know what, I wasn’t planning on doing this but send me some Twitter Tuesday material here — questions, comments, jokes, insults…you know the drill — and we’ll have some fun. It might be shorter than usual, but I missed you guys last week.
