At the risk of tooting my own horn, I hated Armstrong as long ago as 2005, when you could find stories (if you were inclined to look for them) about the way Armstrong treated people and how he would bury them deep at the slightest act of what he viewed to be disobedience. I was calling this guy an asshole back in the days when people would give me funny looks if I said a single negative thing about him. <br /><br />Sorry, I guess all I really did want to do was toot my own horn there. :-) But since I can't JUST do that, I will tell you what you already know I think: that you're a great writer and your work is always this solid.

I didn't even know how I was closing this review and it turned out to be one of those cases where it comes into focus as you're writing the review and writes itself.

And I don't mean for that to sound hyperbolic. Because really, this guy lied is bloody ass off. <br /><br />And the kicker to your review is one of the best I've read in a long, long time.
