Lance Armstrong broke his right collarbone during a cycling crash in Spain. The injury threatens his opportunity to compete in the Tour de France in July and also the Giro d’Italia in May.

This probably explains his lack of updates on Twitter today. Hope he heals in time to compete!

UPDATE: Cyclelicious has a link to video news coverage of Armstrong’s crash.

David Sedaris on undecided voters in the 2008 election

David Sedaris, best-selling author of such funny books as Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, addressed the issue of the undecided voter in his latest New Yorker essay. This is what he has to say about undecided voters in this upcoming election:

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.

That’s just hilarious and very fitting of Sedaris’ style of writing. Also, the gay unicorn cartoon that’s connected with the story is funny.

Thanks Matt!
