Yep. He blew the light with traffic present. Schmuck. m just trying to say that drivers passing cyclists and then making a right in front of them is a dangerous move.

A) Do you ride your car in the shoulder with all the road debris and other stuff there? Why do I have to ride my bike in the shoulder, especially when on some of those downhills on 9W, I can easily be going 30 to 40 MPH? Its not about "giving a damn" its about riding the road properly, as road cyclists have a right to as much as drivers do. Now if I have some clean shoulder space and Im only trucking along at about 19MPH Ill use it. But if the side of the road is a mess and Im on a downhill moving faster, I need to take a piece of road not in the shoulder. B) If you live in North Jersey you should know damn well 9W is a popular cycling route up to Bear Mountain and back. And if so, you should also know that if youre coming up on a pack of riders, a short toot of the horn when youre about 25-50 yards behind them will signal for them to go single file and let you pass. And by all means if they dont move over after you do your part to kindly let them know you want to pass, then tell them to eff off. Dont get me wrong, I know full well 9W can get packed with bikers and some of them dont pay attention. But like I said, do your part to try and be courteous and if they dont heed way, lay on the horn. C) Riding past cyclists and then making a right turn in front of them puts you SQUARELY in the wrong. Its one of the most dangerous moves you can make as a driver.

Most "cycling douches", myself being one of them are actually happy this is going on becuase its bringing the doping issue to light and turning the frauds and cheats into outcasts. VERY few of the dudes in the cycling clubs I belong to are 'sad' that Armstrong, who is is known to be a major league !@#$,is getting his who along with his mentor Chris Carmicheal and Johan Brunyeel, who make up the douchelick trifecta in the cycling world. They were/are basically the 1991 Cowboys of Pro Cycling. That aside, this does seem kind of weird and a strange way to spend energy because the Feds closed their case on Lance a while ago. I think the reason they are going after him again is becuase Lance is looking to race triathlons professionally now and Johan Brunyeel is back running a cycling team, Leopard/RadioShack, which is consdered a powerhouse (although they ave injury issues at the moment). Will be interesting to see where this goes...but I doubt they can take any of his Tour titles away unless they dig up a positive test from one of those races or Lance puts forth an admission. One more thing...its not about the Tour de France. Pro Cyclists race all over the world, and the Tour is just one event, albiet the biggest. LA actually gets a bit of an asterisk on his 7 Tour title streak because its the ONLY race he did all those years, save for a few warm up events. Really, not at all. As far as Pro Cycling goes, country of origin isnt huge when it comes to who to root for. The most popular rider, even here in the states right now is Jens Voigt, a German. But for the USA, there is a whole new crop of exciting riders like Tejay Van Garderen, Tyler Phinney, Ben King and others that are great. Chris Horner, Levi Leipheimer and Dave Zabriskie are very successful and fun to watch, too. They dontt have the same Q factor as LA with the general public, but with cycling fans they are all hugely popular.

The Iranians are just pissed we sold them an overcomplicated maintainence hog of a figther with half the radar system disabled that we dont even fly anymore.

I have no comment on Dave's motives. I really dont care what they are. My sole point is what this guy is saying is no different than what every other ethic group says when "those people" move into their neighborhoods. Whether thats right or wrong, I dont know. Fortunately, I never had to deal with my own neighborhood going through radical changes, having my house torched (twice!) and I wont cast judgement on others dealing with **** I never had to. But I DO know is that if anyone except a white man said those words, it would be a non-story. The Reverend in that news clip understood that. Why cant you?

Heard this AM that this guy had a house destroyed by arson. Twice. Id probably be good for a few angry rants if I was him, too. And I know Ive told this story before.....when wifey and I were house hunting we looked in a few mixed neighborhoods, one even mostly black. The realtor...also black...said right to our faces....you dont want this house you wouldnt be welcome here. Keep beleiving racism and what that guy was thinking about "other people" moving in to communities is a one way street.

Call me nuts, but Id like to see this line actually DO SOMETHING before I start giving it nicknames about how "good" and "fearsome" it is.

Patrice O'Neal End of story...and one with a tragic ending, unfortunately.

It was too perfect. The whole thing just too perfect. From the kids look, to his over the top "IM AN OUTCAST!!" personality, to the crowd's reaction, etc. And then there is this.... The kid had the whole singing thing DOWN. He looked like a pro out there. But somehow his parents had NO CLUE? This kid says he practiced in the house, but his parents, who judging by their appearance at the place with him and the signs and who obviously support him somehow NEVER heard him? EVER? What? Did they think he was just 'combing his hair' all those times he was locked away in his room for hours? Im calling BS on this one.

And if you think this wasnt a chorographed set-up you probably think Pro Wrestling is real, too.

Havent dug too deep into the numbers but from what I did see, a lot of Union households voted for Walker and for the "pro-choice" thingy. That says a lot.

LOL. Whenever I manage to get on someone enough to come after me like this out of nowhere its "mission accomplished."

Malkin is really hot, but like LA she's starting to grate on me. She just has this "needs a good dicking" tone to her. Outraged and annoyed over everything. Relax Malkin.....the new Disney movie casting an oil exec as the antagonist is not a liberal plot to indoctrinate our kids.

I blame Bush.

LYBOB gets DC Tom to show his human side? LYBOB???!!!????? What the !@#$ is the world coming to????????????????????????????

Well...Sage and jboys admit it.....good stuff.

That is not my intent. My sole point is that atheists need to practice what THEY preach. My observation is that they do A LOT of what they claim to despise.

So your answer to my question of why many (not all) atheists practice the hate and intolerance they say they are against religious people doing is "well, they started it"? Weak.

Yes they did...Go back and look. Putting up a billboard during the holiday season that calls Christmas a "myth" isnt "attacking religion." ORLY???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????? “Every year, atheists get blamed for having a war on Christmas, even if we don’t do anything,” he said. “This year, we decided to give the religious right a taste of what war on Christmas looks like.”, - David Silverman, the president of American Atheists and the man behind the billboard, http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/29/for-the-holidays-an-atheism-billboard/ Sounds like an "attack" to ME. Bingo.

Is that why Atheists have resorted to putting billboards outside NYC tunnels and on the side of buses attacking religion? It amazes me how atheists refuse to look in the mirror. A LOT of this in that thread, isnt there? The idea that all Americans since the founding of the Country are "dumb and jingoistic" and the rest of the world is "open minded and diverse and smart" is just as ridiculious as "the world was created in six days." The problem with THAT is that many many atheists are just as close-minded and feverent in their beliefs as those they claim to despise. You see it in this very thread. You see a level of bigotry and hatred that, according to them, only "those religous people" practice. I can see why people would not want to follow religion or question God or disconnect from being faithful all together. When the non-believers say things like the population of the religious "should be thinned out" is where they lose me. Seriously...thats a !@#$ed up statement and Id like one eof the so-called "enlighted" to explain how its any different than some of the horrible proclimations of intolerance we hear from the religious zealots.

jboys Conservative? Eh?

Some sport bikes can definitely go that fast. Heck, some production cars, namely Vettes can with a little engine work.

And DIET soda...FIFTY times worse than its sugar-sweetened counterpart...is also omitted. But in a twist of irony, Bloomturds girl fell in an NYC pothole and broke her ankle this AM.

Thats SOP for pretty much everything in politics.

One of the things I LIKED about Obama was, from the get-go, he said he was going to go after bin Laden hard. And he delivered on that. He stated it was one of his objectives when he was elected. He accomplished the objective. Credit is his.
