Lance for President

CBS reported Lance Armstrong's ride into Paris - winning his seventh and final Tour de France. CBS asked, "what's in the future?" Lance didn't rule out politics (never say never). If he attacks working in politics like he did the Tour - why not? Lance in '12?

Movie theme songs for Lance

Don't want to jinks Lance, but if he gets seven this year, OLN or CBS ought to use the music from the "Magnificent Seven" on the last day coming into Paris. It's the Texan riding off into the sunset (Go Yul! Go Lance!). Olympic coverage over the years (ABC and NBC) has used Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" as the background music for the closing segment of the broadcast. For the Tour when an American wins it all, it should be Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue from an American in Paris."
1999 theme: Gene Autry's "Back in the Saddle Again".
I'll stop here. Someone else can come up with the other years.
