Below is one AP news report after Dara Torres blazed through the 100 meter win, which begins okay but then they have to fucking ask Michael Phelps the Moron what he thought about it, and he (piqued that he didn't get all the attention that night) had to take a cheap shot. Which of course gets reported back to her, and she has to deal with it. Folks, we have to protest and STOP this crap kind of reporting. This woman is a phenomenon, leave whiny Michael out of it.
The videos showing her 100 meter and 50 meter swims have not yet made it to YouTube or anywhere else on the web that I can find. When they do, I'll post them here.

PAY ATTENTION: NOT ALL ALLIES HAVE THEIR BRAINS ENGAGED

I've given up on Daily Kos, where woman-hating earns you snickers and advancement, except for stopping by twice a week to read Bill in Portland Maine (start your own blog, Bill, and get us all off the hook.) However, in my skip down the page yesterday, I noticed a poll posted by Meteor Blades which asked: Who do you assign the title of Worst President Ever?
Of the 15 choices offered (including "Other"), guess who was not on the list?
Kos's HERO in the 80s, Ronald Reagan. The architect of scorched earth neoconservatism from which Dubya was spawned.
So much for learning from the past, eh, folks? And yeah, tell me again why I should trust your slobbering enthusiasm for a new "He will show us the way" candidate?
They've jumped the shark. I'd say remember, you heard it here first, but I'm not the first, it's being said quietly many places.
