Unseen, ya gotta be incredibly dull or have something peculiur about your brain so that all utterances are taken literally to not understand those cold shots.

Reg, smoked salmon is great when your horse is a lox. Fairyhouse images look great-bucolic setting. Some day i gotta get to Ireland. Have heard there is great hiking and while i would not…[Read more]

Reg, I’ve intentionally avoided reading about fish. Finally in Mama’s book i read the fish section. But i aint stopping. My ass likes fish . I am good with a little hypocrisy. I also recognize horse racing ain’t all peaches and cream.

I know someone who watched a bull fight in Spain a long time ago and was vocally routing for the bull. That…[Read more]

Enco is right about a distinction. Even a blind squirrel chances on a nut.

Ny Times v. Sullivan. Supreme court case makes celebrity/public figures have a more difficult standard as plaintiffs to prove defamation.

Thanks Reg. I was considering ordering that book. And agree with that morality take.

As soon as i read grey i thought of that line i must have heard 100 times. ALWAYS BET THE GREY.
Meadowlands in New Jersey used to have a race on Halloween known as the Grey Ghost. Naturally it was restricted to greys and roans. Night racing so the black of…[Read more]

Pope, no, Pope, no.

Gambling is life! Even so i hardly ever wager on anything but equines. Not just thoroughbreds but predominantly thoroughbred. My favorite breed is Arabian. Much slower than thoroughbreds but not understood nearly as well and easily my highest ROI (return on investment) Occasional wagers on Paints, Quarters and even mules.…[Read more]

I have to bring it back to horse racing.

There is a new federal law, acronym HISA, horse racing integrity safety act. It is intended by congress to address the lack of uniformity in horse racing regulations and specifically stop bad actors who dope horses and the like. So the agency that is appointed to administer the act required trainers, and…[Read more]

MAGA is for the quixotic American idealist troglodyte. It harkens back to days of yore when niggers, kikes, spics, gays and women knew their place and men delivered the occasional beatings with impunity. Kids were forced to go to church. Good Whites did not have to integrate with sons of Ham. No threats to male Christian status. Hierarchy fixed.…[Read more]

First i have heard of MAGA month..

It takes a very stable genius to announce in advance of the election that if he loses the election it is rigged. Anyone else would wait for the results and evidence of tampering/fixing for fear of losing credibility.

I have thought for a long time that when it comes to religion there is no mythology so demeaning, so childish, so transparent, so…[Read more]

Yeah Autumn, Trump’s lack of credibility gives him credibility. What views? Really, what does he stand for other than himself? There is an appeal that is not easily duplicated and a revulsion that is not easily avoided. What is the opposite of professorial? A guy like O’Rourke is to my eye as likeable and personable and relatable without that…[Read more]

From Autumn: It sounds like the law is addressing harassment and cyberbullying rather than ‘insults’ per se, though possibly it’s poorly written without proper clarification on what constitutes ‘insults’

Yup, that was my impression or guess.

Enco, that was in really bad taste. Snowflakes and yet someone has the courage to take their life? Th…[Read more]

Autumn, props, well thought out, well expressed. Was that at god’s behest?

Pope, if i come across as idealistic that is not my intention. It has been said many times that cynics are frustrated idealists. Long ago I lost hope for civilization.

USA is tubular and i have no answers to what seems/feels the inexorable march of history towards our doom.

Apparently a good number of Trump cultists think he is their savior.…[Read more]

Pope, i love that you analyze shit instead of taking an ideological and cookie cutter stance.

Where i differ is in the conception of the US constitution. First off we are in agreement that the future was in many ways unforeseeable. If we accept that premise what are the implications? Originalism or the idea we treat the constitution as a timeless…[Read more]

Enco, are you similarly inclined towards unchecked power of mega corporations?

Autumn, please no nuance or analysis for Enco. He is resistant to any attempt to make him question his assumptions.

Reg, that is some scary shit tracking menstrual cycles. That would be big brother on steroids.

You bring up Rwanda. It is kind of amazing the apparent reconciliation between Hutus and Tutsis. That genocide was not so long ago. I…[Read more]

Yeah Unseen it is a horrible idea. I am drawing on history in my thinking.

“Are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party?” “I saw her stroking a black cat. Then she genuflected to Satan. Witch! Witch! Hang the bitch! No burn her! In Spain in the 14th and 15th century during the reconquista a sense of nationhood was fostered…[Read more]
