NOTE:BeninSC actually did the dirty work today in making all the picks, but wanted to post a diary on
the Tour de France scandal that broke today, so I'm taking this on in terms of the posting. But go read Ben's work on le Tour. It's good shizzle.
As Carnacki (who began the latest incarnation of this feature) puts it, "Top comments of the day is highly subjective and controversial." Note, too, that those of us selecting comments intend no value judgment by the selections. Anyone can pick comments just as valid, just as compelling, if not more so! If you encounter excellent comments, please link us to them, below! (To capture the link, just click on the comment's time stamp and copy it.)
