Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 04, 2013
Transcript:
Joe: Who do you think is the greatest living American today, Bob? Bob: Oprah. Joe: Really? Why? Bob: Thanks to her Lance Armstrong interview, Oprah freed America from pretending to give a rat's patoot about cycling, much less the stupid Tour de France. Joe: Can't argue with that. Bob: Now if she could rid us of Donald Trump, her legacy would be complete.

And then there was the Frankenstein fusion of the two, the Tour de Trump. Thankfully, it only lasted two years. (Yes, there actually was such a race, believe it or not.)

If Oprah could relieve us of La Donald , who we have to annoy us with their hubris ? ( You don’t need to answer.It was a rhetorical question ! )

I think Bob’s main complaint is seeing all that lycra … and he blames it on Armstrong’s patoot.
Although Lycra Patoot would make a good name for a band.

Now hold on just a moment, Mr. Miller. As a devout cyclist, I object. Cycling is one of the most popular sports, spectator or participatory, in the world. I don’t meean the Tour de France, either; it has been corrupt from the top down for nearly all of its existence (e.g.: why don’t they allow recumbents?) there are other races, on- and off-road, that are a LOT more interesting. And it’s easier to get involved in cycling – especially non-competitive cycling – than almost any other sport. Disclosure: my trusty Apollo Prestige touring bicycle will be 29 years old in April.

I know the Nixon look a like is a on going character – but what’s the connection?

It turns out that “the news” is whatever the editors decide to put IN the news. They decide what you need to read even though you may not give even a little patoot about it. And news that is free (as in “they don’t have to work hard for it”), is what they really love. Anyway, I think I lost my patoot a long time ago.

Some of us do care about cycling. It’s baseball and football that are totally lame.

Should America be so free with its patoot giving? I personally plan to hold back some patoot for myself next time. A little patoot is handy to have around. And – in honor of Beyonce – its patootilicious!

I hate Oprah and her “I want my minions to spread forth and empty all grocery stores of _____!!!!” Do you have any idea what it’s like to come in to work only to find the entire yogurt section is empty and there’s no more in back and no more coming for 2 more days because she suddenly decided that she had a yogurt smoothie recpie? Or what it’s like to have to throw away half the meat in the meat department because it rotted because she said meat is bad? Or to suddenly start selling eggs like it’s Easter cause she has an egg nog recipe? You’d think large amounts of sales is a good thing but it’s not. Not when it’s random. For example, Saturday morning you go in to find the yogurt is empty, so you need to order way more than normal. Only thing is the order went out Friday and the next order isn’t open until Monday and Friday’s order isn’t going to be enough when it comes in. So the order on Monday that is going to fix all this doesn’t come in until Wednesday, and won’t be broken down and worked until Thursday. So you basically have to spend nearly a week without yogurt, which makes quite a few people mad, and gets the manager in serious trouble for not magically knowing this would happen.

I like watching “Le Tour de France.” Great scenery on TV and it becomes a travel show.

Has anyone noticed that anything Oprah ever does seems to center on some form of benefit to her? THAT is the main reason I cannot stand her….OR her alter ego David Letterman…He was ready (he said) to step in and take over her daytime talk show…and it never happened….coul it be that he is too much hot air and ego to follow through?
Ernest Lemmingway almost 12 years ago
Bob, you are the wind beneath my wings. If she could get rid of Donald Chump I could die happy right now.

Who are these people you speak of? Armstrong, Oprah, Trump?
Dtroutma almost 12 years ago
Trump does represent the ultimate in “doping” in America.
My daughter and son-in-law are fanatic cyclists, in good physical condition so it’s “healthy” activity. Old age and treachery have greatly reduced my own cycling activity, but it still beats jogging or running when it comes to damage to the joints, etc.

That SOB was alot of things and none good! I think if Nixon had been properly investigated he would have gone to jail for a very long time. He was more than a crook he sanction murderer!

Oprah isn’t bad, but the greatest American living today is Harry Avakian
