A bit off topic, but not worthy of its own thread ... and it's a stoopid polly thing ...
In South Australia, we hold a (world class) cycling race called Tour Down Under. Last year Lance Armstrong rode in it, his last international race.
A week back, our state premier decided to go to Texas to present the keys to the city of Adelaide to Lance Armstrong.
You'd think that someone, somewhere in the premier's staff, would have thought to check whether Mr Armstrong was actually going to be at home to receive them.
