Damn. I just ate breakfast, but started drooling again..

I agree with alot of what he says but some of it makes me wonder what planet he's living on. Also, I think whether health care or the recent "impoverishment" of the white middle class is your number one issue likely depends on whether you were previously impoverished and have sick kids, or whether you're middle class with a full-time permanent job and have a declining standard of living. Anyway, riding bikes sure doesn't hurt, and I imagine that those of us in the US who ride will be far better situated than most to transport ourselves around and survive in the post-US-decline world. And, even if cyling won't save 'life in the USA as we know it', it's a great way to deal with the stress of watching everything go to hell in a handbasket. Get ready to ride, there's an Apocalypse coming! Did Kunstler really say he doubts the Republican Party will survive?

Am I laughing because it's funny, or cuz we're fucked? I think it's funny. The only good that ever came from NASCAR is hot chicks taking thier shirts off, and you can get that in New Orleans for free. I'll bring my own glass for the rum.

I pay my mortgage and my taxes on time...why am I gonna be held responsible for some other idiot? It'll be interesting for sure...I've got a 2-liter of Coke and a pint of Sailor Jerry 92 proof rum...and I'll take that duchy on the left-hand side when it comes around. Oh...and I love NASCAR, don't denigrate NASCAR. So should we bail out those that didn’t bother to do the research into the fact that ARM actually stood for “Adjustable Rate Mortgage)?

While I realize Interbike and the industry are businesses that need to profit to stay alive, they could do their part by trying a little more outreach to people of color. I don't mean to imply anything intentional, but some of the looks and snubbing I felt in Vegas was palpable, and would it hurt 'em to put a brother in an ad now and then? I counted (yeah, by the third day I was doing that) three black faces in ads. We are the most consumptive nation, and we need to start getting people (all people) outta cars, Fuck an AfricaBike, promote a Hunters Point bike!.
