Tim Blair

Dibs on the hippie hood ornament!

Well, his route won't take him through my neck o' the woods, unless he really veers north. But he could be heading northwest from Flagstaff. If so, I might be able to spot him later this summer, as I have business in that part of the country.

I'll keep you informed...

And his comment of "It's like riding a bicycle into an old western." Please! No romanticism. Besides, the old westerns had guns. Wouldn't that be against his religion, beliefs, creed, or whatever he adheres to?

Making his journey more difficult, Bush has deviously placed mountains and hills in his path.

Tim,

With which fender would you like me to greet him for you?

Interstate 10 runs from Los Angeles, California to Jacksonville, Florida. It's unfortunate that he hasn't decided to take this route, as it runs through my city.

I'd be sure to give him a heartfelt welcome.

He's lying! He is not biking across America, he's making it up. Just listen to this drivel he writes:

"18-wheeler American economy..."

Absolute drivel. Just ask John Kerry - we have a McDonald's economy with low-paying McJobs.

"Along the way I met a toothpick of a man easily in his 50s..."

Everyone knows Americans are fat...

"...who was a few days off completing the west to east run"

...and lazy!

"altitude of over 2,000-metres..."

We don't have metres. We have miles and miles of miles and miles, with a few feet thrown in for altitude.

Someone buy this poor devil an atlas immediately!

Whoa, I did something really bad with that comment.

Looks like modern poetry.

Ken, if you can turn that magnificent posting style into an anti-war poster, a book deal just might be in your future. ;)

Dude, you left some forward slashes out of your "blockquote" tags. I would fix it but it looks so intriguing that I am inclined to leave it. Doesn't seem to have broken the blog.

i thought you were trying to suggest he, like, rides over a cliff or into the grand canyon or something ...

Have things changed? When I tried to bike cross-country in the 70's, you couldn't bicycle on the Interstates... at least not in the East.

Chicago hockey!

I'm hoping he gets some attention from fellow travellers along the lines of fellow lefties Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. BTW, I'm offering incentives to give ol' Johnnie some assistance in inspecting the bitumen.

Look on the bright side. While he's peddling across the country-side, he's not peddling in Washington.

The man's World Today missives are so depressing that my radio keeps trying to kill itself.
