Cyclists use a cutesy term to describe the complete loss of energy during a road race. They've "bonked." Let's be honest. American Floyd Landis didn't just bonk when he surrendered his maillot jaune, the Tour de France's yellow leader's jersey, during a steep Alpine climb last Wednesday. He tumbled from 1st to 11th place, a stunning 8 minutes, 8 seconds behind the leader. He giga-gagged. Choked.

Ann Coulter had to do it by trashing 9/11 widows...
...addition, when the Netivot group leaves a hostel or other place of lodging, it will travel on a private bus with a medic and a security guard. The tour will avoid all public transportation...
...Back! Gentlemen, start your windmills Rock-opera fans, rejoice: in September, the Who will launch its first world tour in more than 20 years. (Tickets go on sale this week.) In October, the legends release their first album--tentatively titled Who 2--since...
