Today’s Highway Moment brought to you by Chevy Trucks.

  I got behind a big ass full size with a bad ass bowtie this morning on my way down toward campus on the 101. His bumper sticker said “McCain – MILF 2008″ I nearly spilled my coffee right then and there. What is it with these guys and their big ass stupid trucks?

Fries with that?

So I’m driving down one of Phoenix’s many fine roadways this morning, spending an hour behind the wheel as I often do. I got passed by a guy about my age in a huge F150 and I noticed something. He had one of those cup holders on his door, the plastic ones you slide in [...]

So I missed Interbyke

I did not attend Interbyke this year after seven, eight or nine consecutive appearances. Each previous fall I would pack up and head north four hours to that stinking shithole called Las Vegas. I didn’t miss it so much, to be honest. I can get plenty drunk and eat bad food here at home. Of [...]

Solid

I love this woman. Hey der. Just wanted to shoot these 2 pics at you to fill up your email box even more. One is an alteration of your sticker. I found it appropriate for me since sometimes I do ride Dykes. Also… In the second pic is a poor lil guy I found during [...]

Ugly is as ugly does

How low can we go? The October newsletter by the Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated says if Obama is elected his image will appear on food stamps — instead of dollar bills like other presidents. The statement is followed by an illustration of “Obama Bucks” — a phony $10 bill featuring Obama’s face on a [...]

The haps in east Texas

Man, all these emails detailing great rides and adventures are making me jealous. Where’s those posts from BGR I’m waiting on? He’s always up to something, that kid… Check our Bill’s annual Courthouse to Courthouse ride. Looks like some wide open country out there in east Texas. From: mrbill Subject: C to C ride Hey [...]

When in doubt; go ugly.

It’s been brutal to watch this unfold. Absolutly brutal in design, execution and consequence. The real problem for McCain is that Palin is running a separate — and scary — campaign that does not seem to be under anybody’s control. She storms around the country saying: “Our opponent … is someone who sees America, it [...]

The battle of hope and experience

Fair. Balanced. Must be a British website… From: Neil Subect: Undecided? this is the fairest analysis of the candidates that ive ever read…. probably because it comes from the british mag “the economist” and they don’t have an axe to grind….. i think it sums them both up pretty well…. well worth the 5 min [...]

How one man does his part

One in from our man Pistol. We could all learn a thing or two from this cat. From: Pistol Pete Subject: serious cyclists I saw some serious cyclists today. They were serious. They might have been from Boulder. Or maybe their butts hurt. They sure were serious. Me? I had a great day. Day off. [...]

Oct 14th, 2008 | WASHINGTON — The Bush administration is taking steps to make it easier for mountain bikers to gain access to national parks and other public lands before the president — an avid cyclist himself — leaves office. The National Park Service confirmed Tuesday that [...]

Paul Krugman wins Nobel

A nice surprise this morning, eh? Talk about subtlety. He wrote all of eight words about it on his own website. Here’s his post cut and pasted as the link above will most likely hang on the page load. They haven’t capped the comments, so your browser will have to figure out about two thousand [...]
