Fascinating. Too bad most of the recent renewed excitement about the McCain/Palin ticket is driven by folks who probably don’t read and definitely are blissfully ignorant of anything that is remotely different from their own exceedingly narrow-minded and often religiously fundamentalist views. One could only hope they were as well-read and thought out as Wick Allison.

I don’t get it. I never do. And I don’t like it. I am an Armstrong fan but I think all top athletes who retire (Lance, MJ, Brett, etc.) should stay retired.

Your former fan base and yourself will be all the better for it, because, let’s face it, you retired when you could see the downhill...

Problem with this country (of which I am a not-so-proud citizen) is that the great unwahsed masses (who vote) vs. other western countries are: uneducated, lack curiosity, do not question anything, swallow whatever is presented to them, watch too much TV and don’t read enough, were fucked up the ass hard by religion and still haven’t recovered from the shock. I mean, how else would...
