he may have been born in connecticut in 1946 but the family
moved to odessa, texas in 1948 and he grew up there and in
midland & houston. that counts as being from texas in my
book. much moreso than connecticut at any rate.

Did you hear the rumor from a Texan? Do you have some kind of audience with Lance? Do you not know there is an element of strategy in such a sporting event? Do you assume that watching 12 hours of the tele a day and having a super fast cable modem connection makes you the utmost authority on all events?

Typical red diaper doper baby mentality. Read "The Savage Nation" and "The Enemy Within" before you embarass yourself any more.

I don't know what you mean by "that bike." He didn't ride
the "new" TT.

Shipped him back East to go to college, too. No UT Austin
for that boy. Or even ATM.

Not a Texan. --TP

he goes to college at yale, gets his degree in 1968, joins
the texas air national guard until '73 .. goes off to
harvard for 2 years and moves back to texas in 1975 where
he's been ever since. so he spent maybe 10 years total
outside of texas of about 58.

sorry texas, it ain't that easy. he is *SOOOOO* texan.

ut-austin or yale/harvard? maybe the only smart decision of
his life (tho it was probably made for him)

Even more opaque and bizarre than usual, and that's saying
something for a guy with a strange mis-spelled screen name.
Is that supposed to be "Hot Air" or "Wheat Air?"

Spent most of his life there, from all accounts. Hell, he
was so scared of the Vietnamese invading his state that he
signed up to protect her very skies. Or the bars in the near
vicinity of the air base. Something like that.

Who knows? Maybe he actually saved one of his squadron mates
from enemy fire while he was there? It's hard to know, with
the lack of records and all. But I'm quite sure it happened
just like he said. After all, he'd never shade the truth in
order to tell a good story, now would he?

Back to LA - I had understood that he didn't like the TT
bike - wasn't this a TT stage, or did I read the wrong
segment? If I did - mea culpa.

Oh - the report I read (I read two of them, to be accurate)
said he was riding a "new" bike. Maybe the reporter didn't
know anything about anything. I didn't see any pictures, so
I don't know.

Sorry about that. It was still a nicely-done stage, from
the report.

White Air?

Doesn't matter - anyone who quotes Michael Savage has issues
that require immediate attention.

Another coat-tail rider like Hannity - appeals to
folks' base instincts and claims those instincts are
somehow virtuous. Rush Limbaugh has been doing that for
years, and made a huge pile of cash. Nothing wrong with
that, but Savage ain't original in the least. Just a
bit more strident.

I ignore White Air because his posts have no substance. At
least there's something to Mark Hickey's posts.

Your credentials aside, what is wrong with favoring language, borders and culture? You must be another red diaper doper baby.

No, I do not follow Dr. Savage 100%. I only agree with about 75% of what he says. I haven't listened to Rush in 10 years and I can only stand about 30 minutes of Hannity.

I do listen to Laura Ingraham for full length in the AM.

But you red diaper doper babies just need to roll a big fatty and smoke it. Make it a fatty that will last for another 119 days.

It has been reported that UT-Austin turned down Shrub's
application, but Harvard accepted his (with an eye to
keeping the favor of a rich and politically influential
family, no doubt).

Dear Greg,

Yes, but fair is fair--name two books for us to read to open
our minds in your direction.

And for my sake both of you should vow never to "embarass"
yourselves again.

Normally, I try to ignore such spelling mistakes in the hope
that my own typos and mis-spellings and bad editing will be
tactfully ignored, too, but in the days before word
processors I had to re-type an entire master's thesis to fix
over a hundred "embarassing" mistakes, and this left me
abnormally sensitive about the number of r's in the word.

Typical book-hungry pedant mentality.

There must be a lower standard in Texas. In Virginia, where
I live, if your great grandfather, grandfather, father and
you weren't born here, you may not be a Virginian.
