Ryan Bolton is 4th pro to drop out of Hawaiian Ironman.

As we rapidly approach Saturdays Hawaiian Ironman World Championship, a fourth highly respected pro has dropped out. America's own 2000 Olympic triathlete and winner of this year's Ironman USA Lake Placid, Ryan Bolton, has pulled out of the race after a bout food poisoning. Bolton, a run specialist, had a three year plan to build up to a high finish at Hawaii. Last year he was 142nd as he raced to get a feel for the Ironman distance and the famed course. This year he planned to mix it up on the run. It is unclear where the food poisoning was contracted.

President Bush, in a late press conference, blamed the incident on Iraq's biological weapons program, and suggested immediate invasion.

Wasn't this the punch line for a joke?

The DeKalb medical examiner has ruled his death a suicide, though he was shot several times.

Georgia is not to be outdone by Florida.

I still do not see why the military would be given any special voting rights or exceptions over citizens. Any registered voter who is unable to vote on election day may vote using an absentee ballot. To make special rules for special groups of people is, or should be, against the voting rights act.

The story also gives out links for downloading absentee ballot forms and county mailing addresses.

Hey coach, I've been in high school for a long time. Shouldn't college recruiters done recruited me?

Come on! Somebody had to notice that the kid had been in high school for 5 years. Maybe him, his family, or his freshman English teacher?
