| Lance Armstrong has told Oprah Winfrey that he deserves another change to take parts in sports. Armstrong denied that he wanted to get involved in cycling again but would like the opportunity to to run in things like the Austin 10K and Chicago Marathon. ´I deserve to be punished, I don´t think I deserve the death penalty,´ he said. During the second part of Lance Armstrong’s in-depth interview with Oprah Winfrey, the talk show queen also quizzed him about the infamous photo he tweeted last November in which he was surrounded by his seven tainted

Lance, be glad you are still alive, be glad you got to enjoy your 15 minutes of glory so many times when you didn´t deserve a second of it. Go quietly, keep your head down to show your shame and stop crying for more chances to tell more lies. Go away and STAY away...

Why wouldn´t Armstrong believe that the US and the world would give him a pass on this? He´s been watching the malarkey of the last four years just like the rest of us. If you have a good story (true or not) and you are feted by the elite and you take great photos, well, hey, what´s a little lie between friends?

Quit beating up Lance Armstrong, for Heaven´s sake! Lance Armstrong is a winner! He did it! He won -many, many times! He sweated and suffered and fought his cancer to a standstill! He won, folks! - and that is what it is all about in American and World sports! Unfortunately! Like so many of our top athletes, he is a symbol of a winner! A shining symbol of an athlete who sacrifices ALL, in the full meaning of that word, to win the trophy! What forces, what characters, what organizations, what corporations, what mafias squeezed him, mercilessly, day and night, to DO WHATEVER IT TAKES to win the next race? You who would condemn Lance Armstrong for submitting himself and his sacred honor to such tremendous pressures are harpies, are savages of the most despicable kind, who would pick over the bones of dead carcases! Knock it off, people! Lance Armstrong was being used as a tool by so many individuals, organizations, and the largest corporations, to win, for their own prestige and glory, and, nay, not less, for the money accruing from his winning efforts! Come on, now, sports lovers! Knock it off, and let reality show its rather ugly face! Lance Armstrong remains a hero to so many! Is a hero for the fight he fought, and is still fighting! Knock off the ill-placed and inhumane criticism of one of the greatest athletes America has ever had! Give him full credit for his accomplishments, and do urge the governing bodies to restore his trophies and reputation, WHICH HE, HIMSELF, did win! Those who continue to throw stones at Lance Armstrong prove themselves to be less than human! Who is holier-than-thou?

#11 Answer to your last question: 90% of the people who post here. Geniuses, 83 yr old political prodigies who never ran for any office, know-it-all gossipers whose own family can´t stand them, world travelers who live in a north Georgia mobile home park, inner-city farmers, medical experts that once sat in the waiting room of a medical facility mentioned in a story, football analysts who´ve never touched a football, military experts that once had a niece in the Air Force or had an Army Major visit her home 3 years ago, and the coup de gras: biblical experts that would tell a state trooper to "go to Hell" with a Marlboro hanging out the side of her mouth. That´s just a few of the reasons I love these people. /~s

Obama did whatever it takes (I won´t use caps) to win!!!!!, ahem, too. That included cheating, although unlike Lance, the DNC won´t admit that. They did, however, exploit Low Information Voters and even mentally challenged folks to the max. Most people don´t admire that sort of thing. We are all human and all sin, of course, but many of us also know how to learn our lessons, move on out of the spotlight and get on with life.

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Nice try, Mr. President. Feigning anger, firing an unknown bureaucrat and fleeing the podium won’t cut it with voters, or stop the hemorrhaging of the scandals that have spawned a Watergate-like feel around the Obama administration. There was a certain panicky look about the way the president quickly delivered a rare evening White House statement to try to quell the growing outrage over the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. The move showed how damaging the scandal has become to Obama’s second term and maybe even his presidency. But Obama took no questions and, more importantly,

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

On Thursday´s NBC Today, in a desperate attempt to deflect from the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, co-host Savannah Guthrie wondered: "I read a headline yesterday that said Republicans see blood in the water. That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever).
