They Didn't Ride, and People Died

Stop the madness - pull our runners out of Los Angeles before anyone else dies!

The weather was perfect, the field enthusiastic, the times respectable, but Los Angeles' annual street party masquerading as street race was marred Sunday by the deaths of two runners and the collapse of an elderly man who was hospitalized in critical condition.

It's clear now that the Los Angeles Marathon is a failed policy, and we must cut our losses and run (somewhere else). John Murtha and the Dems would be proud.
