In Good Spirits

In celebration of the games and the happiness and joy all over the world, here's a few articles that will really make you smile.

Helping out your peers
Out of respect to the billionare Ed McMahon, who recently has been facing financial problems including the foreclosure of his 7000 square foot, six-bedroom, five-bathroom house, billionaire and financial tycoon Donald Trump has said that he will buy McMahon's home and lease it back to him. The exact amount that Trump is paying hasn't been disclosed yet. Trump doesn't know McMahon personally, but acted out of compassion and said that it "would be an honor" to help.

First Gold Medal
Thousands of mongolians had reason to celebrate last night, seeing as how it was the first gold medal for the country ever. The medal was won by judo fighter Tuvshinbayar Naidan, who beat out Kazakhstan's Askhat Zhitkeyev. Mongolia has won silvers and bronze in other venues such as wrestling, boxing, judo, and shooting, but they have never won a gold medal.
