That leapt right out at me, too. Nothing, but nothing, makes me fell as much of a chump as the credit and enthusiasm I once had for Barry. I could tell Armstrong was a bully from the get-go, doped or clean--I was never going to be a fan. Barry was the one I identified with, the clean...

I wonder which is worse, having a clear statute of limitations--a feature of all US state laws as well as Federal law, not just the law of Texas, so you may as well generalize the complaint--or simply refusing to prosecute perjury at all, no matter how scary the (apparently theoretical) penalty...

Nothing much, actually. It's a particular kind of book: a first-person retelling of Walsh's own personal involvement with LA. It goes through Walsh's experiences in detail up through the publication of LA Confidential and the lawsuit against the Times, and then the narrative more or less...

Got to admit I don't quite follow you here as applied to Walsh. Reading Seven Deadly Sins, you see just how close Walsh and Kimmage are--somewhere between best friends and brothers. Kimmage certainly doesn't seem disappointed in Walsh. Maybe we are tangling two things here: Kimmage's...

And STILL no one asks the frickin' obvious followup: so did Dede dope with you? When will women's cycling get the respect it deserves? Equal ambition justifies equal suspicion.

Her Palmares as as Fake as His Here is what I wrote in the comments on the Post. This actually really bothers me--she has cheated at her craft a much as he has at his, and is just as brazen. "So now we know--Ms. Jenkins is Lance Armstrong's true partner in character. Let me share with...

The column we've been waiting for... Yet in a weird way, like a funhouse mirror of the USADA report, no matter how much I expected it, it still exceeds all my expectactions of mendacity...

"That night Michael and his wife Dede and I had a conversation about EPO and its wide use in the peloton. They proceeded to come up with justifications for the drug use." Deposition of Dave Z, page 8. I'm new to cycling--I took up road riding 2 1/2 years ago and quickly came to love it. I...

Glad it helped. I think the momentary confusion comes from the slang phase "the taxpayers." We all know what we mean more or less when we use the phrase as convenient shorthand--we mean the American people. But in this case we really do want to be more precise--it's US citizens, not...

No, not quite. You are confusing revenue with beneficial ownership. They are two different things. Yes, USPS makes its revenue from fees for services, and does not presently need a line-item appropriation from the US Treasury. But the minute that customer money crosses the counter, it...
