Guess what? If you believe all that negative stuff about cyclists, you will remember the ones who fit your pet theories better.

I assert that cars are just as reckless and with far more lethal results, not even counting the pollution and contribution to a sedentary lifestyle. Of course, all the bike haters here are in tip top shape and obey all traffic laws (especially speed limits) at all times.

Guess what else? Humans get mad when they think someone is getting more than them. This is why you get angry when someone merges late or goes around you on the shoulder. So, when you see a bike gliding past all the stopped traffic, you get angry. Of course, I'm sure all the haters are outliers here too and are models of cool rationality in their response to drivers.

These two biases combine to create this intense and unwarranted hatred of bikes and cyclists.

To the people who wish harm on others or who use their car as a weapon to menace others, you've told us something interesting about you. We all now know they're irrational, petty, small minded and unworthy of participation in this debate.

News Flash: Drivers break the law. All the time. The fact that some sub section of the driving population does not obey every law at all times means what exactly? If you've ever run a stop sign in your life you should be drawn and quartered? Get real.

Your antipathy is not about what *they* do because *you* and everyone you know does it too, while driving, while walking, and yes, while riding your bike. It's about your utter ignorance of your own biases and your being too lazy to make an appropriate analysis. What's your opinion? If you are the kind of person who wants to see people mutilated for failure to signal, who cares?

The first amendment does protect against the government making laws about what makes a 'real religion,' so your idea is bunk, thank god. Imagine the trouble that would come of having the idiots in congress being able to say which religions pass the smell test.

Did you also note how he described the faith of those who are progressive-minded as lukewarm? I suppose this is in contrast to the searing, red-hot faith of conservatism.

I guess the passages in the new testament that talk about how awesome it is to kill people and make economic war against the poor are more important, and hence warmer, than those that exhort believers to mercy, forgiveness, and compassion.

I voted for Obama, I don't think he deserved the peace prize, and I think the headline was hilarious.

Because they change the game.

Give us a call when that happens, but from this angle, the new boss looks the same as the old boss (Clinton, not Bush).

Even a broken clock is right twice a day and I think this must be Steele's time.

Instead of jobs, I would have pointed out that until Obama fulfills treaty obligations by prosecuting torture he doesn't deserve any peace prize.

You're playing right into his hands. He might be a frat boy misogynist douche, but he knows how to play the likes of you into getting him free publicity.

Nice going.

Did anyone ever tell you that 29A is the hexadecimal number of the beast?

Liberals are who made Austin / Central Texas so nice for you Californicators. If you can't handle hearing intelligent thoughts in a town meeting, maybe you should move to Dallas.

Is this not common knowledge?

"He was a news professional, devoted to craft. I suspect he'd have walked off the set rather than devote an entire newscast to a pop singer's death, never mind entire weeks."

Elvis died during his tenure. What was Cronkite's coverage like? You tar yourself with the same brush you use to condemn others by being too lazy to check.

Maybe you read it, but he did not break into his own home. He let himself in through the back door and was trying to unstick the front.

He was not arrested for breaking in, but for disorderly conduct.

Jesus who is the journalist here?

You can't even be bothered to state when the thing starts and ends and didn't speak with the person who started it. Instead of describing the book itself, why not just link to its wikipedia article? It seems like lazy writing.

You're misreading the comment. The race of Obama is nowhere near as important as the race of the imagined recipients of this money (i.e. black people).
