Some Sunday Crank-iness

The good thing about the Internet is that there is a lot of stuff in cyberspace.
The bad thing about the Internet is that a lot that stuff is crap.
Most of the crap these days involves Our Boy Lance and his boy-toy pal, Matthew McConaughey, and all the "are they gay" rumors.
Gossip sites like SpotLightingNews and The Bosh will print almost anything -- and generally do. Conventional wisdom goes that if they can break up with babes like Sheryl Crow and Penelope Cruz to hang out with each other, then, like duh, they must be gay ("Not that there's anything wrong with that," as Jerry Seinfeld once so-famously said).
The point to be made here, though, is that you can find almost anything about everything on the Internet these days. Is Lance gay? Not gay? Do you care?
Hopefully, we all care more about whether OBL doped or not. So far, there's been no conclusive proof. That doesn't mean there won't be. Just keep reading on the Internet.

Speaking of doping, the Daily Peleton has a terrific article, "Lance Armstrong – No More Heroes," as does the incomparable Samuel Abt in the International Herald Tribune, "Cycling: Much off-season ado about doping charges."

And finally, I love to bike on Cape Cod. So I was pleased to read this story in today's Travel Section of the New York Times: "On Two Wheels, It’s Still High Season on Cape Cod."
