Everything I Know About Survival, I Learned by Watching Discovery Channel

I've learned a few things watching Discovery's survival series. First, that Leatherman tool (used by Survivorman's Les Stroud) I've been carrying around for years, and distributing as Christmas gifts to friends when I couldn't think of anything else to buy them, could save their life. Who knew!?

Disclaimer: this post is in no way meant to denigrate the manly men of Discovery, who are seriously cool - especially when balancing on helicopter skids 9,000 feet above Mexico's Copper Canyon, and/or throwing up after eating Moroccan goat testicles, urinating all over their shirts and wrapping it around their heads to stay cool, or playing their harmonicas in their lonely, makeshift shelters.

Mr. Torch's Wild Ride: Olympic Torch Chaos in San Francisco

Live from Justin Herman Plaza/San Francisco:

More bad news for NBC Universal and Coca-Cola:

4:00 p.m. According to the text messages coming in fast and furiously, the Olympic torch is now headed to SFO after a day of chaos and confusion. The closing ceremonies, slated to take place here across from the San Francisco Ferry Building, have been cancelled.

All day long, crowds have been chasing down the elusive torch. Thousands gathered along the planned route, even though Mayor Gavin Newsom warned the route could be changed.

"Changed" really doesn't describe the inane planning here in San Francisco - more like a completely-altered-to-the-point-of-being-a-meaningless-exercise-that-enables- Newsom-to-claim-that-he-wasn't-forced-to-cancel-the-run - is more like it.

But Newsom will have to answer to the absurd, almost farcical, cat and mouse game that ensued when city officials treated the torch's route like a state secret, creating unexpected traffic snarls while denying almost everyone even a peek at the controversial flame.

In the Embarcadero area (near the Ferry Building) a Chinese consulate official was observed and photographed (by me) directing Chinese nationalist counter-protesters with their enormous red Chinese flags to stand amongst the Tibetans. The Chinese consulate was also seen handing out lunch to their protesters. The Chinese consulate was also seen handing out lunch to their hired hands

Olympic Torch Protests Spread in Paris; Protesters Scale The Golden Gate

The feel-good, heroic patina typically associated with the Olympics is quickly degenerating into a symbol of oppression of the Tibetan people. After years of simmering on the back pages, the issue has finally erupted front and center, stirring protest and chaos.

Coca-Cola and NBC Universal must be very uneasy right now. Click here for more.
