Next week's covers will belong to the dynamic Democratic tag team of Kerry and Edwards.

This week, the glory and the ink go to America's most beloved biker, Lance Armstrong, and France's most adored star of the American film world since Jerry Lewis, Michael Moore.

Armstrong, the aging hero who's trying to pedal his way to his sixth Tour de France, can be found on the covers of Outside, Men's Journal, ESPN the Magazine, Esquire and the June 28 Sports Illustrated.

If there's anything you don't know about Armstrong's successful fights with cancer, his refutation of doping allegations, his relationship with new girlfriend Sheryl Crow or his status as the official enemy of the French state, it's not the fault of our magazine industrial complex.

When he wins, or when he's pushed off a cliff near Lyon, we'll see Super Lance riding the cover of Time, Newsweek or U.S. News & World Report.

Boycott France and Boycott Michael Moore. Moore is a traitor to his country, this isn't just about Bush Bashing, this is about propaganda that is whipping up hate in this country and I think Fahrenheit 9/11 is just that, A Hate Crime. Stop Michael Moore the traitor; he is aiding and giving comfort to the enemy - a enemy that thinks America is like blubber boy and John Kerry; men who will turn on their country when that country is at War and we have thousands of men and women serving in Iraq who are being hurt by Moore and Kerry's actions every day. Demand they stop and demand Fahrenheit be thrown out of theaters across the country.
