I'm pretty sure I stole it from you as I have a number of political cartoons. The ones you post in The Mote save me from searching for them myself. I should give you a credit.

I wouldn't have posted it again if I'd remembered where I got it.

Former top cyclist indicted in steroids probe...(AP)

SAN FRANCISCO — Former elite cyclist Tammy Thomas was indicted by a federal grand jury today on charges of hindering the government's steroid probe.

Thomas, 36, is accused of three counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice for allegedly lying to a federal grand jury investigating a steroid ring that spanned across many sports.

The indictment adds cycling, a sport often associated with doping, to a probe that has exposed steroid use in professional baseball, football and track and field.

Thomas was banned for life in August 2002 after testing positive for the performance-enhancing drug Norbolethone, which was detected in her urine samples.

No credit needed, wonk; I just wondered because many of my posts seem to be ignored and I fear I'm being obnoxious.

Your posts are great! I read them all even though I may not respond.

Thanks wonk (I knew Lemonciello would be the way to your heart)!

We uncorked a bottle tonight. We hadn't chilled the bottle beforehand so we served it over cracked ice. Delicious!

Duke rape case dropped

5340. wonkers2 - 12/23/2006 12:13:40 AM

It was an unfortunate episode for all concerned.

5341. iiibbb - 12/23/2006 12:25:34 AM

Ahh... but it remains unfortunate. The kidnapping and aggravated assault charges were not dropped.

Mike Tyson was ordered released without bond on a felony drug possession charge Friday after an early-morning arrest in which Buckeye police said they found two bags of white powder in his back pocket. Tyson was arrested early Friday, after nearly ramming a police car, on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of cocaine when police stopped him shortly after he left a Scottsdale nightclub. According to the report, an officer saw Tyson trying to wipe a white powder off the console of his BMW as he approached.

Michael Jordan and his wife, Juanita, filed for divorce Friday after 17 years of marriage. Juanita Jordan previously filed for divorce in January 2002, but withdrew her petition a month later when the couple announced they were attempting a reconciliation. During her last divorce petition, Jordan said attempts to reconcile their marriage had failed and future ones "would be impractical and not in the best interests of the family." The couple met at a Chicago restaurant during his second season with the Bulls and were married Sept. 2, 1989, in Las Vegas. They have three children: Jeffrey, Marcus and Jasmine.

Oregon State quarterback Matt Moore looks for Yvenson Bernard in the first half of the Sun BowlOregon State coach Mike Riley was set to take his chances in overtime at the Sun Bowl. Then Missouri called timeout to have Joe Newton's 14-yard touchdown catch with 22.1 seconds to go reviewed, believing he may have bobbled the ball. During that break, Riley decided to go for the win. Yvenson Bernard barely pushed into the end zone on the gutsy 2-point conversion run, giving the 24th-ranked Beavers a 39-38 victory over the Tigers on Friday. Tony Temple had 194 yards, four short of the Sun Bowl record, on 20 carries with two touchdowns and Chase Daniel threw two touchdown passes for Missouri (8-5). The Tigers lost four of their last five after a 6-0 start, dropping the finale despite 561 yards of total offense. Temple missed setting a Sun Bowl record for rushing, 197 yards by Charles Alexander of LSU in 1977, after losing 4 yards on his final carry.

Trailing Minnesota by four touchdowns at halftime, Texas Tech coach Mike Leach told his team it had a chance to make history. The pep talk turned out to be a prediction. The Red Raiders spotted Minnesota a 31-point, third-quarter lead, then rallied for a stunning 44-41 overtime victory in the Insight Bowl Friday night, the largest comeback in Division I-A bowl history. The previous record for a bowl comeback was 30 points, set by Marshall against East Carolina in the 2001 GMAC Bowl.

Maryland methodically and meticulously put away Purdue -- and looked nothing like the team that ended the regular season with two lopsided losses. Sam Hollenbach passed for 223 yards and two touchdowns, Lance Ball rushed for 98 yards, and the Terrapins won the Champs Sports Bowl 24-7 on Friday night. Maryland blew a chance to play for the Atlantic Coast Conference title by losing to Boston College and Wake Forest by a combined 76-40 in November.

Kobe Bryant hoisted 45 shots against the Bobcats on Friday night. But few called for him ramming through pivot Emeka OkaforKobe Bryant's 58 points in 55 minutes were offset by two key errors in the third overtime, and the Charlotte Bobcats outlasted the Los Angeles Lakers 133-124 on Friday night. Bryant spoiled the third-highest point total of his career by committing a foul on Derek Anderson's 3-point attempt with 1:14 left. Anderson hit all three free throws to give Charlotte a 129-124 lead. Bryant then missed a long jumper and fouled out when Anderson drew a charge on the next possession. Bryant shot 22-of-45 and his performance trailed only his 81-point game last January in Toronto and a 62-point effort last December in Dallas.

Donyell Marshall's outside shot started falling before the game and never stopped. Marshall scored a season-high 29 points -- 21 on 3-pointers -- and LeBron James scored 32 in his final game as a 21-year-old, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 109-99 win over Milwaukee and snapping the Bucks' six-game winning streak Friday night. Larry Hughes emerged from a shooting slump with 26 points for the Cavaliers, who blew most of a 21-point lead in the second half before hanging on to win their seventh in a row at home against Milwaukee.

Mickael Pietrus figures the Golden State Warriors must lead the NBA in facemasks, now that he and Troy Murphy both have worn the protective plastic covers this season. Despite injuries and a tough schedule, the Warriors have been awfully hard-nosed lately -- and that's one reason they're back above .500. Baron Davis had 27 points and nine assists, and Pietrus matched his season high with 26 points in Golden State's fourth victory in five games, 110-100 over the Boston Celtics on Friday night. Andris Biedrins scored 20 points and matched his career high with 17 rebounds for the Warriors, who improved to 16-15 and never trailed in the final 46 minutes of their fifth straight home victory.
