    Amazing!

    Reading letters following a column about the Winter Olympics, and I find somebody with their lips firmly planted on Lance's bottom. Do these guys walk around wearing t-shirts with an image of themselves kneeling behind Lance? They seem to pop up everywhere! I am amazed the guy didn't go on a rant about how the Frenchman who won the downhill was ...... well, French.

    On the Luge, 87 miles an hour while on your back, inches off the ice is pretty amazing. I rode a wheeled bobsled down the old concrete course in Lake Placid this summer. We went about half speed, sitting upright. It was amazing. I can't imagine going twice as fast, on my back, hoping my stomach doesn't block my view of what I am about to hit.

    I loved Susan Sarandon, Yoko Onno, Peter Gabriel and all the other activists being in the open ceremonies. I could probably have done with hearing Yoko read anything, but just knowing Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin had steam coming out of their ears was wonderful!

    Who is stiffer, Brian Williams or the frozen blue guy "S" is the Chevy commercials? I am thinking Brian.
