A flamer, a flame, and a young athlete with fire in his heart...

The olympic torch arrived in San Francisco, where it was greeted by George Takei, actor and favorite announcer of The Howard Stern Show.

With protesters interrupting the torch relay in cities abroad, San Francisco city officials have the challange of securing the route of the torch. “I can only confirm that the route is dynamic,” said Nathan Ballard, a city spokesman. Ballard followed in perfect corporate speak by saying, 'At the end of the day, it is what it is. We're thinking out of the box. All members of the team have been assigned the action item of bringing to the table their best practices, so that we can deliver the flame through a critical path on the fast track. If there is an individual who chooses not to be a team player, protesting the deal flow, then we will make a hard stop, and assign ownership to a paradigm shift.' -Lou Score
