Ann, that's a ferret.

Just over the radio -- multiple people shot near Empire State Building.

Are our NYCistas okay?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm 25 blocks away, watching it on TV. Pretty scary.

I don't think Scola works anywhere around there.

Yikes. Glad our peeps are safe.

I knew we needed some SnP up in that mix.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Lance Armstrong is going to be stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.

information libertarian

Am I unusually cynical in that I assume that all elite athletes in some sports are probably doping? And cycling is perhaps the biggest. I have assumed that Armstrong (and everybody else) was doping all along.

No, I don't think so. As soon as a few of the top players start cheating, it becomes the only way to win, so everybody does it.

Because books.

How are they proving it so far back, though? Not that I doubt it, but having actual evidence of him doping during all those competitions seems iffy.

S. read an interview with some sports publicist who asked to remain anonymous, and he said Armstrong is one of the biggest assholes he's ever met, which surprised me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I also assume everyone is doping.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I think that's right.
