This is getting good. The latest getting pasted on walls in L.A:
Shit is totally bananas. The point, of course, is not that Obama is a socialist. Rather it is simply to combine a noticeable face (obama), put him in white face caricature (joker), and splash a misapplied and inappropriate logo (socialism). [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen, please join me in raising a glass and welcoming Ellie Rea Robertson to this world.
Our boy Snakehawk went and had himself a second daughter! Congratulations, my man. She’s 5.8 lbs and healthy.
I’m afraid the woman might be an enchilada short of a full combination plate.
Another day, another dollar. A day late, and a dollar short. How to you hope to rectify this apparent contradiction in lifestyle, theme and delivery? I don’t. Pass the bottle.
I’ve been asked lately, “What is drunkcyclist.com?” I haven’t an answer. At least not one that fits neatly into a [...]
So, I’m down at the barber shop waiting to get my hair cut. I pick up one of the various magazines placed in rows on a table, something to page through mindlessly as I await my turn in the chair. One on sports, another on guns, a third on cars… I’ll go with [...]
… if you are a racist, you are probably a Republican.
I must include a hat tip to Scarborough on his prompt, clear and unequivocal condemnation of Audra Shay. He did say the Party should “relieve her of her responsibilities” at once. I’m glad he’s not too far gone to see that.

You know you’ve been in Phoenix for the summer when you see 96 degrees on the thermometer and say to yourself, oh, it cooling off today, I’ll go for a ride.
In case you’re wondering (and I’m sure that you are) it topped out at 115 yesterday and the day before. Super fun [...]

Steven Barbour, 58, was riding west on Cemetery Road in Hilliard about 6 a.m. when the truck hit him, said Hilliard Police Lt. Charles Scalf. The truck was also going [...]
Yep. That’s what happened. A firefighter is facing 1st degree murder charges. In Asheville NC.
An Asheville firefighter charged with attempted first-degree murder after witnesses said he shot at a bicyclist, made his first appearance today in Buncombe County District Court.
Charles Alexander Diez, 42, apparently fired at the Asheville man after arguing with [...]
What does it mean to be a black man in America? Ask Mr. Gates. He’ll tell you. It is apparently awesome.
His arrest docs are up at thesmokinggun.com, in case you want to take a look. A lot of convo on the subject over at The Daily Dish the last few days. [...]
Haven’t heard much out of him lately. Might be time to send Big Pun across the pond to investigate.
“biking to work, i happened upon this bike punk, passed out on road. i think he knocked side mirror off car. he was breathing so i let him be.”

Wiggo. Full stop.
Wiggins is racing well and climbing well, and letting other riders know it. While pedaling up a tough climb with other top riders in the Pyrenees last week, he shouted, again and again, “That’s what I’m talking about!”
Some riders, including Levi Leipheimer, gave him an odd look. Leipheimer later asked one of [...]

Tomorrow is Mont Ventoux. Pretenders need not apply. I’ll be on my sofa in my underwear hollering something fierce come morning. After I do much the same all night. Because it’s Friday and I’m struggling with my midlife crisis. And by “midlife crisis” I mean “thought I’d try law school”. [...]

The big man (ok, 176, but who’s counting?) is a bit blue. Beer helps. Trust me.
[Edit: I'm afraid I wasn't very clear: I meant to say Cancellara is 176 lbs. I got a text message telling me I was too thin! I am closer to 215. Rest [...]
Like many of you out there this morning, I awoke to Thor Hushovd taking the race by the throat and shaking the shit out of it. God damn right.
“I had an amazing day on the bike at the front,” Hushovd said. “I think it was the best day I’ve ever had on [...]

I am rocking the Keystone State. Got in late Saturday and have been going like a bat out of hell since. In pretty close to the order of occurrence I ate four (4) soft pretzels, a cheese steak (wid peppers & onions), hit a day trip to the shore (the water a brisk [...]
The Cascade Cream Puff hits off this weekend. I’ll be now where near it, as per usual. But a few folks I know will be right in the mix. My man KNob is doing it for the tenth time. That’s right – he never learns. And, interestingly enough, my man [...]
