  1. Isn't ironic that Lance's "Livestrong" bracelets are made in China?
    He's such a big fan of W. and is touted as the embodiment of the
    American dream. Why would he get the bracelets made in a country that
    kills and imprisons people for peacefully supporting democracy? Is he
    afraid people wouldn't pay an extra $.25 or $.50 if he got them made
    in the USA, or at least a non-commie country?

    The mark of a true capitalist is to produce his goods wherever it's cheapest
    and not getting himself hungup on politics, purely economics. That is the
    American Dream 😉

    From the July 2004 issue of ProCycling, page 31, during an interview of
    Lance Armstrong by Alistair Campbell, former communications director for
    British Prime Minister Tony Blair:

    "Once we settle down to talk at a long wooden table, we are swapping stories
    about George W. Bush, his fellow Texan. We agree that our politics are
    different to Bush's, but that the president is smarter, funnier, and more
    likeable than the caricature. Even Sheryl, whose politics Armstrong
    describes as 'way out left', says that it's hard to meet Bush and not like
    him. I had assumed, because he and Bush are Texans and I'd seen pictures of
    him laughing and joking in the Oval Office, that Armstrong was a Republican.
    But he says his politics are 'middle to left'. He is 'against mixing up
    state and church, not keen on guns, pro women's right to choose'. And very
    anti war in Iraq."

    And from page 32:

    "'I don't like what the war has done to our country, to our economy', he
    says. 'My kids will be paying for this war for some time to come. George
    bush is a friend fo mine and, just as I say it to you, I'd say to him 'Mr.
    President, I'm not sure this war was such a good idea.'"

    As for the bracelets ... Lance didn't make the bracelets, Nike did ... And
    what do you expect Nike to do but go off-shore?

  4. Hey, knucklehead, do you think that perhaps Nike and not Lance ordered
    the bracelets? Besides what better way to open up the Red Menace that
    is China than by getting then to embrace our capitalist ideals?

    Quick question: Were a hottie Swedette such as the one listed on Tiger's
    income tax return next year, to express carnal interest in you, would you
    turn her down in favor of a hot sweatie domestic state of bliss with
    Roseanne Barr?

    You've actually wasted time out of your life to think about this? Weird.

    And then have them made in a country that kills, imprisons and deports
    people for questioning democracy?

    The fact that China is able to produce those goods for a price
    indicates that it is in fact not a completely communist country.

    In fact, all of the things you have stated lend arugment that the
    chinese government is a facist regime (one whom trys to control the
    behavior and thoughts of it's subjects) buts states nothing of it's
    economic policies.

    If you had something like "It is ironic that Lance gets the
    "livestrong" braclets made in China a country the artificially
    deprecates it's currency in order to sell it's good for cheaper on the
    world market considering he is such a big fan of G.W. and all....or a
    least not a communist country". Then you would clooser to an communist
    economic argument but not really quite there.

    And just so you know Walmart imported 16 billion dollars worth of
    goods from China last year alone.

    Also G.W. is a clear and stated support of globalization, outsourcing
    and doing business with China. His administration has also been a big
    support of getting them into the WTO etc.

    Further I believe this administration believes that the best policy
    for dealing with China is to bring it into the global community and
    kind of attack some of it's backwards policies from the inside.
    Basically Golden handcuff it out of it's facist political regiments.

    It is also worth noting that China whom is slowly arising from it's
    communist sleep has been steadily growing, increasingly becoming a
    worthwhile and active participant in the global community and becoming
    more open for some years, while Russia whom Reagan forced into
    capatialism long before it had any of the necessary legal and
    idealogical infrastructure has seen has been bleeding problem after
    problem and is now reverting back to a more totalitarian approach to
    government in an attempt to regain some economic and political
    control. one can only hope that Putin will only revert back to levels
    seen in china before enacting Perestroika round II. which should have
    been left alone back in the 80's.

    What better way to get them to declare a few more villages factories for the
    revolution and force them to help meet the new demand while enriching the
    scumbags that lead the country. Their track record is terrible and I don't see
    it getting better any time soon.

    We won't go into the story of a HS party I walked into and the Guy hosting it
    was mastubating his chihuahua. Needless to say we didn't hang around long, or
    go to another of his parties.
    I'd take that before Roseanne though.

    Who gives a [censored] anyway since the proceeds went to a worthy cause.

    Also, you should contact Eric Saunders and ask him what ever
    happened to the BLUE "no dopers" bracelets he was going to make.
    If I remember correctly, he posted that he was running
    out to check prices....

    Question, given the size of a chihuahua's member, was this an act of
    heterosexual or bestial perversion?

    I was pretty wasted at that point, but I found out later that apparently this
    guy got off on masturbating his dog for audiences. Other people said he claimed
    to have gotten off at the same time. I'm not sure what the hell you'd call
    that.
