5 years ago today

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Ped put it best:

I am not one to celebrate days of a person death, because I would like to remember their life. But things changed so significantly on this day 5 years ago. In the end we lost his voice when we needed it the most.

The conscience of the Senate died that day. Our national debate would be significantly different if Paul Wellstone was still here. Democrats in particular could use his backbone these days.

In addition, Ped lost a friend and a former team mate.

Here’s to Paul and Will and all those lost near Eveleth that day. Minnesota lost a lot.

Leipheimer signs.

Have you noticed that when there is an article about this team it’s always referred to as the “new-look” Astana team?

New-look team Astana, no relationship to the old-look, total doper team Astana.

Government permission to travel?

The Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security are quietly pushing for a set of crazy new rules. All travellers in the U.S. will be required to get government-issued credentials and official clearance before every flight, both within the United States as well as internationally.
