I AM NOT SICK OF LANCE ARMSTRONG!
Seriously though. This guy overcame testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain. He fought hard and has now broken the record. I think he should have his day. Whether or not it is "really" news, he deserves this moment. So I will celebrate with him. Woo hoo for Lance.

1. I find his story very uplifting, too.
Just about the only thing on the news that makes me feel good at all...

And unlike all the bad news, this story will fade in few days, while the war/pres/terrorism/bird flu/environmental degradation crap will be with us a lot longer.

3. There's already talk of his starting a political career
Edited on Mon Jul-25-05 02:18 PM by rocknation
But he should avoid the mistakes Arnold made by starting small--city council, small-town mayor--and working his way up, rather than relying strictly on star power.

4. But, But, But, But....
You are so naive. Don't you know this is a plot, engineered by Karl Rove, to cover up bigger stories in the media. Didn't you know that Lance is actually some D.A.R.Y.L. robot, created by the Republicans some 9 years ago. They have since used his achievements to undermine the media's ability to broadcast "real" news.

As if I need this, but...............:eyes:

11. I Love hearing stories
about people overcoming the odds and perservering!

If I listened to politics all day, I think I would slit my wrists from depression!

So what if he's in the media, he DESERVES it as far as I am concerned.

Man...some people..... jeez.

VIVE' LA LANCE!
