America's Cup

Emphasis on America. Not to take anything away from that GREAT sailing nation of Switzerland, (ed Note: Huh?!) but they won the America's Cup...again.

Yes, those purveyors of fine Army knives, those caretakers of the Alps, home to the St Bernard....... Yes, the Swiss, fielding a boat stacked with carpetbagging ex patriot Kiwi's, crewing the flagship dubbed "Alinghi", beat the uh, hmmm...Kiwi's. The best quote of the entire three or four year ordeal (ed note: I lost count.) was Dennis Connor who, when queried on the outcome of the finals said ‘We all know the Kiwis are going to win the America’s Cup....". Of course, he was not asked which Kiwi's. So the America's Cup will live another decade or so until they decide to race again, with that dynamo of the sailing world.....the Swiss.

Ugh........
