That website is a sarcastic and rude way to portray the Discovery Team and lance Armstrong. Personally I hope to never see that site again, and if I don't it won't be a loss. Dispecable!!!

I'm tempted to print that out so I can use it for toilet paper.
The only things stopping me are the paper cuts and the fact that I hate to waste paper and printer ink

Quit your whining. That's one of the funniest articles written about the tour lately.

Sorry if I don't find bashing the French funny.

Duh, let's change french fries to freedom fries ayuk ayuk, and pour out all the french wine we've already paid for. That'll show 'em!

After Saturday’s race he was basking in a comfortable 63rd place. When I saw him that night he was sweaty, smelly and demanding more cheese. And, he was wearing a beret.
Huh? He surely can't mean in the GC?

My nephew who is 14 can write better than that. And I prefer not to bash the French. If my history serves me well, there might, very well, not be a USA without the help we got from the French, so the French are okay in my book.

Wow. I can't decide what is more pathetic....

a) that there are writers who actually spend time writing such insipid humor
b) that there are readers who think it is actually funny

All-American or Freaking Frenchman?

Lance is an adult. If he wants to freak a Frenchman or two while he's over there, that's his business.

Your history serves you well. There MIGHT not be a USA without France.

But there DEFINITELY would not be a France without USA.
