A-R-T-E-S-T still spells "crazy"
Ron Artest is kind of like El Nino: Not fully understood but capable of wreaking unspeakable havoc when you least expect it.

• Tour De Upskirt: Apparently, the Tour de France coverage suffers a little bit when there's nary a Lance Armstrong or a doping scandal in sight.
