WELL WELL WELL - some big issues

1.) Immigration is getting a lot of attention, and this is the time when you hear right wing windbags professing their knowledge of the subject. You hear words like amnesty defined by whomever is blowing smoke on whatever show. This is a humanitarian issue for me - above the socio-economic issue, and well above the elitist "We're American's and they are not" issue. Spend one day in an immigrant's shoes and then get back to me on your view. We're all so far removed from our ancestors being immigrants - and the struggles that they faced and the oppotunity that they sought - that most of us look at this issue from a poor perspective.

2.) When will people recognize that the Bush Administration is the worst modern-day American regime that we have had in office? Jimmy Carter was right.

3.) My Mom actually told me that she couldn't talk long because she had to get to the TV to see American Idol.

4.) Team Telekom and its top riders from the mid-1990's have confessed to using EPO....rampant use. Now it is Bjarne Riis' turn to step up and fess up. Let's be honest people, the WADA was created to combat drug use in cycling MANY MANY years ago - so you think Armstrong didn't dope? Riiiiiight.

5.) We're staying Flag this weekend to ride and hike. Happy Memorial Day Weekend to you too.
