Ever since stinky Didi made it popular to run out on the course of the race in order to get on the teevee there seems to be an ever increasing number of losers who insist on making a dangerous job even more dangerous.
They dress up in some kind of outrageous costume, carry some kind of outrageous accessory, wait along side the road for the race to come along, and then run out in front of the riders for as long as they can.
These guys are a disaster just waiting to happen. They trip and fall, or drop their accessory, and generally make a nuisance out of themselves. They are a hazard to themselves (not that I really care when some spank gets run over by a motorcycle) and to the pros on the road trying to get their job done.
So this guy finally got what he deserved. He’s a Tom Danielson fan as well, so hopefully they gave him some psychological counseling.
Book ‘em Danno. You got what was coming to you Captain Embarrassment to Your Country. Next year stay home, wear what ever you want and watch the race on OLN VS. If you get busted again next year I hope the cop shoves that flag poll up your rumpelstiltskin.
We are simply in a situation where this president is really taking his notion of executive privilege to the absolute limit here, running covert operations, using money that was not authorized by Congress, supporting groups indirectly that are involved with the same people that did 9/11.
All of this should be investigated by Congress, by the way, and I trust it will be. In my talking to membership — members there, they are very upset that they know nothing about this. And they have great many suspicions.
Bill O’Reilly was on 60 minutes tonight. He said that anyone who does not acknowledge the existence of global warming is an “idiot.” His word, not mine.
Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth just won an Oscar for best documentary.
At least Rush Limbaugh will have something to gas on about tomorrow morning.
OLN VS. gave their “Move of the Day” award to George Hincapie for getting up after a crash and chasing back to the field.
Are you kidding me?
O’Grady goes on the attack and nearly takes over the lead of the race and VS. gives an award to Hincapie for crashing? Lame-o colossus.
In regards to GC, all the credit to Leipheimer for working hard to maintain his lead. But if he goes door to door in the lead then they are going to need to make the race harder for 2008.
Two different guys e-mailed me this story today. From an interview with St. Cloud Times reporter Lawrence Schumacher Michele Bachmann stated:
Iran is the trouble maker, trying to tip over apple carts all over Baghdad right now because they want America to pull out. And do you know why? It’s because they’ve already decided that they’re going to partition Iraq.
And half of Iraq, the western, northern portion of Iraq, is going to be called…. the Iraq State of Islam, something like that. And I’m sorry, I don’t have the official name, but it’s meant to be the training ground for the terrorists. There’s already an agreement made.
They are going to get half of Iraq and that is going to be a terrorist safe haven zone where they can go ahead and bring about more terrorist attacks in the Middle East region and then to come against the United States because we are their avowed enemy.
She’s sorry, she does not have the official name.
She should be sorry that she does not know what the effing hell she is talking about. Western Iraq? The portion populated by Sunnis? Northern Iraq? The portion populated by Kurds? Run by Shi’a Iran? What the hell are you talking about lady? As Josh Marshall writes:
Aren’t the Shi’a Arabs in southern Iraq going to be a little bummed?
Last Wednesday evening Bachmann was on the Jason Lewis radio show talking about the war. (Lewis does not have a web cam of his show so I don’t know if she gave him the “Tiger Beat teen idol treatment”.) At one point she stated clearly that the war in Iraq should not be politicized. Then, in the very next sentence, she quoted an Ann Coulter book and stated that the Democrats in Congress were guilty of treason for not giving President Bush their full support for his troop surge fantasy.
Bachmann is clearly deranged. But, as far as I am concerned, let the woman speak. Give the state, the rest of the country, and the whole world a good look at what this woman, and these types of people, are all about. Everyone take a good hard look so you know it when you see it. And don’t vote this type of “self anointed” know-it-all-incompetent fool into office again. After all, Bachmann said it best herself:
I don’t think I give as much credence to my own mind, because I see myself as being very limited and very flawed, and lacking in knowledge and wisdom and understanding.
So apparently I was suffering from subluxation of the shoulder rather than dislocation.
Hey, I ain’t no damn doctor.
Subluxation is 50% of the way to dislocation and it don’t feel too good so I’m not interested in any lipping off about being a cry baby.
As opposed to full dislocation, where the ball of the joint has slipped and is sitting fully outside of the joint, subluxation results in the ball being pulled out of the joint and then teetering on the edge of full dislocation. It is at this point that the muscles in my shoulder have been pulling the ball back into joint.
Subluxation does not cause nearly the same amount of damage to the shoulder that a dislocation can.
The white circular ring inside the shoulder joint shown above is call the labrum. While the MRI showed extensive tearing of the labrum at the front and the top of the ring, surgery is not required at this point. I can get away with 6 to 8 weeks of physical therapy and then determine how stable the joint is at that point.
There is a 20% higher incident for joint arthritis for those who suffer dislocation but there is no data for those who only suffer subluxation.
Final diagnosis: Super Rookie does not win a single race on the boards this season.
