First it was Vinokourov and now it’s Rasmussen. The yellow jersey has been pulled from the race because of lying about his whereabouts when he missed drug tests. I will now agree that this year the tour may be labeled “Tour de Farce.” I am really disheartened by the state of cycling.

This past weekend I went up to Rome with my cycling teammates to participate in the Siege of Rome, a stage race in Rome, GA. I think it’s fair to say that our team dominated the competitive 4/5 field of racers. Just read Robert’s race report. The results aren’t final for GC standings, but we were 3rd in the team time trial, then I took 6th or 7th in the criterium, and then I took second place in the final road race on Sunday, so chances are good that I will be among the top 3 for the stage race.
Update: I took 1st overall with a total time of 3:43:34. I won by eight seconds.
The earnings season is upon us once again and it seems that the markets will be moving steadily up once again and that traders are going to be more trusting of the general markets. Certainly the housing and sub-prime sectors are still causes for worry, but I think we are nearly to the point of getting over both those issues. Continue reading ‘Earnings Season and Update on Three Holdings’

Victor Davis Hanson adds to what Michael Yon has reported about the Islamic extremist barbarians. A couple of days ago, Yon reported that al Qaeda served up a son for dinner to his own family, had literally been baked and prepared to be eaten. Continue reading ‘Barbarians I Tell You’
UN Watch reports on the results of the recent June 2007 session of the Human Rights Council. Belarus and Cuba are dropped from the blacklist and Israel was “was singled out for permanent indictment—the sole country targeted by a special agenda item, and the sole country subjected to an investigation that examines only one side, is immune from review, and presumes guilt in advance.” Continue reading ‘Human Rights Under Assault From U.N.’
Here’s a picture of what I think is the prettiest looking single speed bike I’ve ever seen.Â
Not that I’ll ever really be in a position to use such a bike extensively, but it’s just so darn nice looking. The next bike purchase will most likely be a time trial bike, but this probably won’t occur until I’m out of law school.
Just reported on Drudge: McCain’s campaign manager and chief strategist are gone from their leadership roles. Is it the money? Or is it the man? Will McCain be able to last until even November ‘07? Time will tell!
The American interviews Charles Koch, the CEO of Koch Industries, the largest privately owned company in the U.S. Some facts about the size of the company: for starters, if it were a public company, Koch would rank about 16th on the Fortune 500 list, ahead of Proctor & Gamble and Boeing. And since Kock joined the company, the value of Koch Industries has risen 2,000-fold, compared with 110-fold for the average S&P 500 firm. Quite impressive. Continue reading ‘Interview With CEO of Largest Privately Owned U.S. Company’
