You know what I really hope?
I really hope that if I am on my bike, or simply walking down the street, and some asshole runs me over with a car and flees the scene, leaving me for dead, and then is later caught and arrested and admits to smoking pot the night before so the judge sets bond at $500,000, that that asshole can have another rich asshole (or as the Chicago Tribune put it, a...

Cyclist Floyd Landis Admits Doping, Alleges Use by... →
jamesnord:
This guy is a fucking disgrace, first you spend millions of your own dollars to try and clear your name of doping, then you continue racing (poorly), now once you are left out of the Tour Of California all the sudden you want to come clean AND accuse every big US name of doping with you.

A ceaseless pain for mother who lost daughter →
At the end of another exhausting day, Michele Dremmer returns to a dark condominium, walks past her daughter’s open bedroom door, and makes herself dinner. In a few minutes, a neighbor will drop off Dremmer’s two dogs, a welcome distraction from the memories hanging in frames on the wall and the sympathy cards in grocery bags at the dining room table. But the diversions never...

It had to be done by 6 yesterday for the grand opening opening party of their newest store, and I was shooting footage up until yesterday morning.
Even when I didn’t think I could edit anymore, I cut together this little teaser about...

Report: Griffey slept in clubhouse →
Seattle Mariners star Ken Griffey Jr. missed a chance to enter an unspecified game last week as a pinch hitter because he was asleep in the clubhouse, according to a report from the Tacoma News Tribune.
When pressed following the game as to why he had not used the left-handed slugger as a pinch hitter, Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu was evasive.
But according to two unnamed younger...

Vice Lords now help at school →
Sherryl Moore-Ollie looked out the metal-screened windows of Penn Elementary School’s main office and saw a man in the U-shaped building’s courtyard holding what appeared to be a beanbag. Several of her young school boys were punching the bag — the same kids she would usually have to yell at for throwing rocks at the school windows. Moore-Ollie went outside and realized the...
