Le Poulet est parti le Tour

The Chicken has left The Tour. Though there's no substantial evidence of his alleged doping practices, he did fail to abide by UCI policy and procedures. The "man in black" is no victim of a vast conspiracy, but an example of what will hopefully be a consistant practice of teams and the UCI - fair testing and a zero-tolerance policy for those who fail to cooperate with efforts to find dopers and kick their ass to the curb.

'Nuff said

Why Vino....why?

Regarding Harry


Harry Caray: I once took a pair of binoculars and stared at the sun for over an hour.
Ken Waller: Why would you do that?
Harry Caray: Curiosity I guess. Heck! I'm curious like a cat. I have a couple of friends that call me whiskers.
Ken Waller: Because you're curious like a cat?

Summer School

...starring students who would rather eat lent than spend another waking moment with you. Not a problem though - I've got some pretty cool kids, a supportive administration, and a boatload of what I think are relevant lesson plans and activities. If that's not enough, well we'll just have to jump to Chapter 7: Looking to the West - meaning I'll be showing the four-hour version of 'Dances with Wolves' tomorrow. "I am Lieutenant John Jay Dunbar and this is my post."

Bin Ich kein Schwindler?


T-mobile boys are dropping like flies in Le Tour...no longer can one have a favorite driver (to Euro-phrase) without wondering whether or not he's riding with nine testosterone patches duck-taped to his nether-regions. Perhaps the mad man from Kazakhstan is clean (a wise decison to leave T-mobile). Sadly, his dreams of an '07 victory are dashed. Soldier on Vino...soldier on.
