Sometimes the Big Gulps were replaced by beers and 16 inch bike pursuit races around the shop. I hope the other Joe don't read this. I still ride my Paramount, but with modern pieces.

The foundation licenses its LIVESTRONG brand to partners, including Demand Media for the LIVESTRONG.com health and fitness website, as well as Nike, Trek, RadioShack, Oakley, and others. Those partnerships generate millions of dollars to help people affected by cancer. From its early days, the foundation has been about survivorship, about living with and beyond cancer. That's an important mission. Of course some money is spent on marketing, a necessary expense to make sure people know about the foundation's programs, services, and events.

However, I oppose this using of grand juries, Congress and, in the Armstrong case, racqueteering investigations to entrap elite athletes for behavior that is not even illegal. The other thing to note is that almost all the initial and successful prosecutions so far have been of black athletes. Has a white gone down yet?
