This is like saying that teen-age pregnancy is perfectly all right, as long as the girls stay pregnant for only three or four months at a time. It's part of a larger revolution against common sense. We have a habit of reinventing the wheel as a triangle. Managed moderation puts the drunk on the road to recovery in a vehicle with trapezoid wheels...

Whether it's grainy footage in the convention film of Bush's childhood in Midland, Texas; a 30-sec. ad featuring Bush behind the wheel of a beat-up Ford Bronco on his dusty ranch outside Waco; or a candid moment at home when he and his wife Laura share a laugh at his expense, the point will be the same: that Bush, with his sunny optimism and persuasive charm, is the antidote to eight years...

...being a role model to young cyclists, but who has also embraced his stature as a hero in the cancer community. This is the kind of man we want kids to look up to: Someone who has found peace with himself, who invites his competitors to ride his back wheel up the worst of the mountain stages, and who gets himself through his toughest rides by thinking about his infant son, waiting for his dad at the finish line...
