waterfall on the ranch.

"He's a good rider," Bush said of his guest as a White House
photographer took their picture, Duffy said. At the end of the ride,
Bush presented Armstrong and the other riders with T-shirts
commemorating their "Tour de Crawford."

Oh, bullspit. He MIGHT have just meant that Lance rode a MOUNTAIN
bike pretty well for a roadie. Or he COULD have had his tongue
planted firmly in cheek. (Afterall, who would expect a 7-time
winner of the TdF to be a good rider?)

It's the weekend. Take a day off from your biased whining...



YEAH! How dare those humorless poopyheads make a joke about our
Fearless Leader! It really makes me mad that those liberals can't
take a joke and don't understand humor! I'm so angry, I think I'll
go punch my Al Franken doll. I only wish it was the real thing!

"Fuller" quoted an article and then added his interpretation. (That's what
"Read:" means when used like that.) If it was intended as a good-natured
poke, then your point is taken. However, he used all caps and a derogatory
term ("emperor" -- quite similar to all the "American Imperialism" rhetoric
thrown around lately), so I'm guessing he was serious (read: ANGRY).

You can still bop Franken for {the good of mankind} me, though.

Then you remember falsely about John Kerry and his Serotta and
what people's opinions were.

I'm confused. Are we talking about Armstrong, our leader. Or Bushy,
our leader?

Oh ****. Now I'm confused. I thought Kurgan was our leader.

Wow. I had no idea what you were talking about, so I googled "fark".
That's a great site!

that's not "old school" thinking, that's "short bus" thinking.
