Lance Armstrong-Failed As Many Drug Tests As Richard Virenque. Even though Lance's drug use is detailed by former good friends and associates in David Walsh's book-Lance always cries out that "he never failed a drug test." Neither did the admitted poster boy for drugs in cycling--Richard Virenque.

For the Presidential Race:
The early stages of the Presidential Race are starting to annoy me--there is certainly enough policy differences between McCain and Obama to have an election based on the issues--but in the early part of the election it looks like Obama is being "Swift Boated" (when the Bush camp, basically supporting a party boy draft dodger, disingenuously was able to attack Kerry on his military record.) Now I think McCain has 1000x more integrity than Bush, but when Republicans raise the "family value" issue... Of course after the $700 billion wall street bailout--John McCain, maverick banking expert, is for reduced government but more Wall Street regulation. Maybe he'll bring his friend Tom Keating on board to accomplish this.
