Phelps got off to a great start!

So, Phelps has his first gold medal. Yay! I really want to see him win all eight. I also think it was cool that the Korean swimmer won a gold, especially after DQing back in 2004.

I wonder how many Americans are already up in arms about The Star-Spangled Banner. The beginning was weird, and it was cut off at the end. I guess we're the land of the free but not the home of the brave, lol. Seriously though, I'm sure the kinks will be worked out and if Phelps and President Bush can laugh it off, I sure can. :)
