Fer de Lance

Congratulations to supercyclist Lance Armstrong on his seventh consecutive — and reportedly final — victory in the 92nd Tour de France.

I'm thinking that, with Lance's seven wins coming on the heels (so to speak) of Greg LeMond's three victories in the 1986, 1989, and 1990 Tours, maybe it's time to change the name of the event to the Tour of America.

Just what we need — another reason for the French to hate us. If we keep this up, they'll want all the fries, toast, and kisses back.

Speaking of names, why is America's greatest cyclist Lance Armstrong? Wouldn't it make more sense for him to be Lance Legstrong? Or perhaps Lance Heartstrong... though Kiki Richard, the wife he unceremoniously dumped in favor of songstress Sheryl Crow, might take issue with that appellation.

And do they ever wash that yellow jersey?
