You don’t hear much about Afghanistan or Iraq lately. Lately it’s all about BP’s feeble attempts to stuff its greasy genie back into its mile-deep bottle, the final episode of “Lost” or whether Obama is too Spocklike to be president (after eight years of Alfred E. Neuman, Spock looks pretty damn’ good to some of [...]
The Giro d’Italia is finally in the record books, and now we have a month of relatively light lifting before the Tour de France kicks off in Rotterdam.
The finale, a 15km time trial in Verona, was something of a snoozer, since Ivan Basso could have pretty much run the course with his bike slung over [...]
I participated in small-d “democracy” yesterday, having been summoned to jury service in El Paso County’s Fourth Judicial District.
Now, I ain’t lyin’ to anyone here. I spoke very many bad words — and loudly, too — when I got the summons. I repeated them, albeit in different order, when I rang [...]
It just pissed down rain like a mad bastard for about 15 minutes and now the sun is shining. Good work, Yahweh. Saved me from having to water the lawn.
Speaking of hard rains, the UCI has asked various national federations to look into Floyd Landis’ charges against, well, everybody. This comes on the heels of [...]
The Amgen Tour of California is finally over and done with, all praise to Cthulhu, may his (its?) tentacles grow ever longer. As tours go, it was not particularly captivating, but I did enjoy a couple of stages, including the last go-round of four in stage eight, the finale.
You have an untimely mechanical for defending [...]
The notorious Bill “Billy B.” Baughman, a.k.a. Big Bill McBeef, was honored this evening at a reunion of his former cellmates who gathered over cheap wine and even cheaper jokes to recall their deep and often infectious relationship with the doddering old pervert in honor of what he claims is only his 60th birthday.
The highlight [...]
Apparently Floyd Landis was not content with shitting in the 2006 Tour de France. Now he’s shitting in the Amgen Tour of California, the Giro d’Italia and my Thursday. You can read all about it at VeloNews.com.
Back in 2007, when Numbnuts was still telling everybody he was pure as the driven snow, smearing Greg LeMond [...]
Well, that was a bit of fun. Levi Leipheimer (RadioShack) attacks on Bonny Doon as expected, but can’t (or won’t) shell Michael Rogers (HTC-Columbia) and Dave Zabriskie (Garmin-Transitions), who wins the stage. For his troubles, Leipheimer winds up third on the day and on the GC, six seconds behind the Z-man and two behind Rogers.
I [...]
