commu*ist spy
I think I might use my 1 week vacation on this thing. I'm from Iowa, but never did the Ragbrai. It's either that or the AICHE conference in November, and I'll check out California while I'm at it. Damn...

Personally, I think that if he held a signing of any LA memorabilia that people brought with them, the line-up from the table would be several blocks long... five abreast.
There are still a huge number of people who believe LA has been deeply wronged by the system, and can't see past that to understand the nastier parts of the saga.
It's an interesting aspect how people think of the villains in our society, some of whom even go on to achieve hero status.

A lot of people know only of the Livestrong foundation, not the cyclist. They appreciate what the foundation has done for cancer research.

And the foundation has done jack squat for cancer research. They don't fund research. They fund support for people undergoing treatment, but don't spend a penny on research. That's one of the many pieces of misinformation floating out there about him.
