A fresh cynic's take on Oprah and Lance

Stand-up comedian and podcast host Bill Burr is the guy to tell it like it is. Conan O'Brian just about coughs up a tonsil he's laughing so hard, but you can't fault this guy's logic.

When so many people become successful because they're sociopaths, at least Lance wasn't hurting anybody!

Lance Armstrong comes "clean"-ish

In a self-serving semi-confession by a former cheat who's painted himself into a corner with his own lies and deceptions, Lance Armstrong has gone online on Oprah's OWN network and admitted to certain wrongdoings in the course of his cycling career.

Oprah being the sympathetic interviewer that she is, Lance gets the chance to shape his own narrative, set the tone of his confession and get more of the public in his side as his standing in the cycling community crashes like a blind biker on the Col de Tourmalet descent.


This from a man who has consistently bullied, sued and threatened anyone who's dared reveal that he cheated repeatedly and systematically and who might have been trying to save the sport of cycling from exactly this kind of scandal.
