1 Where my bitches at?

Posted by: Mr. Ed at May 01, 2010 02:08 PM (yQWNf)

Last year was more exciting for the family. My cousin had a horse in the race, but he went off at 50 to 1.

_{I won a hundred bucks!}

3 I am going with Jacksons Bend. No reason, just like the #13.

4 I've got at least a buck on the entire field.

7 I was at the old dog track in Bridgeport @ noon-something...I also attended the illegal immigration parade in NYC. Good times.

8 A bunch of fat cats betting their ill gotten gains on beasts running in a circle. Like the stock market, only more colorful.

Too bitter?

9 Paddy O'Prado.

10 I sent down $100 to win on #5. Go baby, go.

Posted by: Soap MacTavish at May 01, 2010 02:21 PM (554T5)

11 Currently at 19-1. Would be a nice little payoff.

Posted by: Soap MacTavish at May 01, 2010 02:22 PM (554T5)

12 sorry, but the 5 has no chance.

15 Derby? Is that horses?

Posted by: Cicero at May 01, 2010 02:28 PM (QKKT0)

16 We could take those horses and use them to carry troops into Mexico, and I think I'll propose legislation requiring just that tomorrow.

17 Couldn't find fresh mint, so no mint juleps.

Bored to tears over the hour long BS. Think I'll take a nap, golf tourney done wore my ass out.

Some horse will win again this year, hope the owners aren't as tacky as the last few.

23 Whatever horse Calvin Burrell is on.

Posted by: Annabelle at May 01, 2010 02:32 PM (EXUK4)

24 Ever been? It's Americana, and I love it, but in the good seats it's a festival of tipsy women looking like sausages in too-tight suits wearing hats that would be more appropriate at Mardi Gras, and in the infield, it's essentially an orgy in need of a tent revival and an AA meeting. I can't wait to go back.

25 I think I'll stay in bed for this race.

Oh well, great minds.

If she wins, you spring for the steel cut oats.

He could run in peanut butter, which is what the track look likes.

Credit where credit is due my man.

By the way, I hate lawyers.

36 First Kill All The Lawyers would be a great name for a race horse.

37 damn, those little jockeys are freaky little fuckers

Posted by: Birdman at May 01, 2010 02:49 PM (UUkhk)

38 Oh, s k, I don't hate lawyers at all. I hate lawyer-kings. They are not smarter or more qualified than anybody else. As long as the know their place, I have no problem at all with them. Besides, if there's going to be a qualifier to rule over your fellow man, we mathematicians are ready. I promise to be ruthless but fair. But ruthless.

I hope a beloved horse doesn't break a leg and have to be put down.

55 Completely O/T, but I'm watching the PA senatorial debate between Arlen Specter and Joe Sestak. In schadenfreude mode, i was hoping to see Sestak, Harvard Ph.D. and Navy Admiral, bitch-slap that turncoat bastard. But he isn't. He's a .... pussy. It bodes well for Pat Toomey in the fall.

O/T from an O/T post, I watched the British Prime Minister's debate the other night. It was excellent, a real debate, not like the parallel talking points here.

We need a version of PM's Question Time in the US. The presidency is far too imperial. Go to the well of the house and answer questions, We Americans are entitled to answers. I'm tired of the President as King.

True. That's always been the arrangement. Even with Dems in office, although Republicans have always known that if they don't bring up a subject, the Media won't touch it.

But the media now is worse. Much worse, and even moreso now that they know they're dying.
