Get wise like Tim. This is Your Nation on White Privilege For those who still can’t grasp the concept of white privilege, or who are constantly looking for some easy-to-understand examples of it, perhaps this list will help.

The shadows knows nothing save himself. [Sarah Palin] is the reverse of Barack Obama, in essence his shadow, deriding his idealism and turning negativity into a cause for pride. In psychological terms the shadow is that part of the psyche that hides out of sight, countering our aspirations, virtue, and vision with qualities we are [...]

If Matt Damon Agrees with Lincoln Chafee, and I agree with Matt Damon, do I therefore agree with Lincoln Chafee? Strange bedfellows, indeed. And, Lincoln, your hand ain’t between two pillows. Matt Damon. I can’t even type the guy’s name without screwing up my face sideways and drooling… and yet I am with him 100% [...]

I find this quite sad. After months of accusations of political bias and simmering animosity between MSNBC and its parent network NBC, the channel decided over the weekend that the NBC News correspondent and MSNBC host David Gregory would anchor news coverage of the coming debates and election night. Mr. Olbermann and Mr. Matthews will [...]

Instead of going anywhere near a bicycle on the one (1) day a week I’ve been able to carve out the time to actually do so; I am instead sitting around with a cold and a pile of text books. One of my sister’s kids was sick last week, as was my sister come to [...]

I know, I know…. Bike Racers Are Crazy is not a headline — it’s not really news to those of us that read this site and it is certainly not news to me. However, after driving the RideClean team car in the caravan at the Tour of Utah for 5 days, it was reinforced in [...]

Two years. One million beers. Today is my death day. It was two years ago that I woke up in the hospital. With a wife and a six month old daughter at home. So much for being a cyclist. Oddly enough, I’ve managed to collect even more bikes since that day. The difference between training [...]

Gnome’s post sure got a lot of Flagstaff attention lately, especially from people not usually associated with Drunkcyclist. It was clear from the moment i read it that it was going to get some panties in bunches, because he went right at a few topics all at once. and he didn’t flinch, blanch, or mince [...]

Mid week hump for my first week with no job. And I ain’t complaining. From where I’m sitting, shit is tight. The Tour kicks off in three days I and don’t give a fuck. I don’t even know what the money is saying this year. Can I bet on who gets yarded the day before? [...]

All I keep hearing is Terrorist this and Terrorist that. Anyone we don’t like, apparently, can and should be labeled a “Terrorist”. And, then, we can say, oh they have no rights – they are Terrorists. Prisoners of War are an entirely different matter. These men were captured on the battlefield of the War on [...]
