Mexican Bike Race Hits a Snag

From the department of amusing yet horrific trivia: a Mexican bike race met with tragedy recently after the front runners were hit by a driver who was asleep or on drugs, or both. Police were on the scene immediately, and apprehended the suspect. One racer was killed, and ten others were injured.

The SA thread that sparked discussion over the event quickly and happily devolved into an argument between motorists irritated with slow-moving assholes who clog up traffic, and bicyclists irritated with dangerously vapid drivers of two ton death machines.

The one thing all agreed with is that the image is absolutely awesome.

If you are a driver or a bicyclist, please add your thoughts on the issue in the comment section below.

Obama Nomination Victory Speech

I would really suggest watching this video, especially if you are a supporter of Hillary Clinton who is concerned about the Barack Obama nomination.

I found Obama's speech to be very gracious, and he spoke eloquently about the important role of the Clintons in American politics.

He described Clinton as being at the center of the universal initiative, and a strong advocate of the green energy economy.

Personally, I think that a Clinton / Obama ticket would be the best solution for the Democratic Party, as well as the nation as a whole. Clinton's strength will be absolutely needed in healing the wounds caused by eight years of President Bush.

Furthermore, I think that any other VP would simply pale in comparison to her, and appear wholly manufactured. A Clinton / Obama ticket would form the basis of a strong and productive administration, that could work together as a team more than the leader and his shadow that is the standard paradigm.

Hillary Clinton needs to join the Campaign for Change, because she has been campaigning for change all her life.
