Clay Aiken is Gay...

...anyone really surprised?

With all the problems our society is facing, this is our top news story? Our Federal Reserve is considering a seven hundred billion dollar bailout to save our economy. If the Fed prints out that much money, our dollar will become worth even less than it does right now. If every time we have a economic problem, we print more money, in no time we will soon have very large bills that are no worth as much as they should. A cup of soup will cost $500, and going to a movie will cost a cool two grand. I hope that our government will take a second, forget about their own financial gain and think about the little people. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a middle class in a few years. I feel that America is moving backwards. One Nation Under the All Mighty Dollar. I guess the whole going green movement in the United States is a loaded metaphor.
In other news, it is official that Lance Armstrong will be joining Astana cycling for the 2009 cycling calendar. I hate to say it, but Alberto Contador is the strongest grand tour rider in the peloton. Don't forget about Ivan Basso will be back this year riding for Liquigas. Floyd Landis will return to cycling with Heathnet. There are plenty of heavy hitters in the cycling world this year. Sorry Lance, you can't walk right into elite competition and expect to win the biggest race of the season just like that. I'm not saying that he couldn't win the race, but he is over the hill. I applaud his raising awareness of global cancer. I think he should get the Nobel prize or something, but if getting second place isn't an option for him, stay retired. You went out on top. Every other top cyclist has always chased the record and was beaten. I hope he knows something that we don't.
