It looks like DiLuca

There are still three days left but it looks like Danilo DiLuca will keep the maglia rosa and win the 90th Giro D'Italia. Gilberto Simoni took 30 seconds from the leader but the rider in pink was able to hold on and grab a respectable fourth at the top of Monte Zoncolan while fending off Simoni and the younger Schleck.

It's all pretty much flat until the end. Do I smell another Petacchi sprint victory?

Wolfie to media "Get bent!"

It was only a matter of time before the real culprit behind the Wolfowitz World Bank meltdown was made public. Of course it's the media stupid. In a BBC interview Wolfie explains that it wasn't the lack of support from bank employees that made him leave. The inaccuracies reported in the media were at fault, "I think it tells us more about the media than about the bank and I'll leave it at that" was the gem he offered in a BBC radio interview on Monday. Remember the bank's board had accepted that he had acted ethically in providing his girlfriend with a big-ass raise. Paul I think the bank was willing to agree to anything to get you out of there. It's too bad more people didn't follow the Wall Street Journals editorial remarks more carefully because the media wouldn't have had to take such a big piece of the blame.

I guess it's the media's fault that your ridiculous claims of Iraqi oil revenue funding the war never came to pass. Or how about the 12 million barrels a day that has yet to happen? Media's fault right?
