One Day Short
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007Thanks for the long deployment, sorry to screw you out of GI benefits.
That’s how it goes I guess. Support the troops and all that crap.

I don’t think Joe was ever in the military but he sure knows how to withdrawal under withering fire.
Tom Tancredo
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007He’s basically saying that if you don’t agree with him he will cede your land to Mexico if he becomes President. I don’t see this being a big hit politically.
I know, I know, why do I write about someone polling so low? Because he’s hilarious. Really, every GOP candidate is hilarious.
Fred is half awake. Rudy is a psychopath. Romney will say anything. McCain is desperately looking for traction.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not too stoked that Hillary is the presumptive nominee. But if she brings back the good times of the 1990’s then I won’t have much to complain about.
Shorter VeloNews: “Hincapie a traitor”
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007A few years ago, a switch to rival T-Mobile would have been seen as a major controversy, but times change and Hincapie’s presence in the magenta jersey of T-Mobile reveals how much the sport has changed in the past few years.
…
Has there been any backlash against you coming to T-Mobile? A few years ago with Armstrong at Discovery this would have been a major scandal. Things have changed, but the teams have been rivals for a long time, have you heard any of that?
Hey Andrew Hood, in case you have not noticed Team Discovery, thanks to Lance, is out of business. What do you expect Hincapie to do? Retire from the sport instead of signing for a new team? Hincapie is not switching anything. He is getting a new job because his previous employer went belly up.
This whole idea (heavily promoted by VeloNews BTW) of Team Discovery, and USPS before that, being America’s team made me ill. As David Millar wrote in the October issue of ProCycling magazine:
The bottom line is that most teams are already operating like national teams, with perhaps only around 15 per cent foreign riders in most teams – look at Cofidis or Liquigas. Perhaps the only team that deviated from that was Discovery Channel.
I know that VeloNews is basically a booster of American cyclists and American cycling teams, but Discovery is gone. Get over it guys.
Don’t fret VeloNews, you’ll have Slipstream to wave the U.S. flag at next year. Go Team America.
