How sad for Rick Dutrow. When his horse is the favorite to win the Belmont, he's everywhere telling us how Big Brown can't lose. After Big Brown loses big, he's nowhere to be found. Probably rethinking his guarantee that the Patriots would win the Super Bowl. Of course, considering this was Rick Dutrow, I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't bet $100 grand on Big Brown. Still, it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who was happy with Big Brown losing. It's really bad when a fellow trainer openly gloats about your loss. I'd like to see a Triple Crown winner sometime, but I don't want it to happen just to happen. I certainly don't want an undeserving winner. And I'm definitely not like those who believe "it's about the horse." It is a horse. Does anyone really believe that Big Brown understands that he lost the Triple Crown? As long as they rubbed him down and fed him, he was fine.
That's why it was so tiring to hear the commentators insist that something must have been wrong with Big Brown and that's why he lost. At first, I could see them thinking that. The jockey did pull him up going down the stretch, but Kent Desormeaux did ride him down to the dismount area which is a pretty good indication that the horse wasn't hurt. The on track vet said it didn't look like anything was wrong. Then Kent pretty much said there wasn't anything physically wrong with the horse, and that he was probably tired which means Kent just admitted to a racing offense. Unless there is something wrong with your horse, you have to ride out the race because even if you aren't going to win, people could still have your horse in bets that go down to fourth place. It won't happen due to the PR side, but Kent could be fined for it. So, in essence, all the jockey did by pulling him up was protect the brand of Big Brown (it's better for his rep to say he was pulled up rather than that he lost). Oh, and it also made people watching the race worry that another tragic breakdown may be occurring in a high profile race. Thanks Kent.
Yet, even after all that, the commentators still insisted something was wrong with the horse. Well, there was. It's called NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Damn, if I had a dollar for every time a horse I bet on just didn't feel like running, I would have enough to pay for Big Brown's stud fee next year (and then I would have to get a mare or a freaky woman and a video camera). Sometimes they just don't fire. Some tried to excuse it by blaming a quarter crack on his hoof (lots of horses have run with worse), his training was messed up by the injury (if he was good enough.......) or he was taken off his monthly steroid injection. Well, that last one might be true, but I don't think these horses should be on regular steroid injections so if not running on it showed his true ability, then good. So, he was a good horse, not a great one.
I mentioned a couple of posts ago how councils in England are run by retardedly stupid people. They'll stand up to some grandmother wanting to put in a wading pool, but they must be terrified of the garbage men. They've allowed them to institute a policy where they don't have to empty wheeled garbage bins if they can't easily pull them with two fingers. Oh, and they don't actually have to dump the cans like the olden days. They have a hydraulic lift that dumps them. Gee, I bet you never have to worry about these guys just getting lazy and slapping stickers on cans.
Oh well. At least they are inconsistent. Some whackjob who stabbed her fiance 37 times is expected to get out of prison in 2011after only 14 years time. Nice. Protect the garbage men from garbage, but put a nutsack slasher back on the street. Next thing you know England will be let dangerous terrorists live freely in the country on the public dole rather than deporting them. Oh wait.........
And the Eliot Spitzer hooker case is back again. I mentioned a couple of months back that the little tart was suing Girls Gone Wild, but I was happy she wasn't claiming defamation. Well, I just didn't wait long enough. Apparently, she is now claiming damage to her reputation. Because being outed as a hooker must not be a stigma anymore. Her suit doesn't make much sense because she's claiming that the "he falsely advertised that she performed for its cameras, and falsely advertised its offer to her of a $1 million contract." The second part is a really weird statement because I know he did advertise the offer so if it was false, she had to have tried to collect on it. If that's the case, you can't claim you were defamed because he changed his mind after finding he has a video of you. As for the first, it doesn't make sense either. I saw a clip from the video where she was doing a "sexy" dance, except she wasn't doing very good. I hope she's better at screwing because she really couldn't dance that well. Still, even a bad performance is still a performance.
This column from a San Francisco newspaper does a really good job of explaining why I have a hard time understanding the whole Obama phenomenon. Actually, considering Hillary got as many if not more total votes than Obama, there seems to be a large media manufactured frenzy to it. Plus, I could toss this column away as the insane rantings of a Left Coast moron (which it really is), but others seem to be following this line of thought. The guy actually calls Obama a Lightworker which is some kind of New Age spiritual leader who will bring peace and stability to the galaxy. Kind of like the Force I guess. I really think some of Barak's supporters need to stop huffing paint because this whole cult thing is becoming a bit creepy. The whole Obamessiah thing is so bizarre to me because I can look beyond last August. It's only been a few years since Obama was an undistinguished state senator from Illinois who was peddling favors for a guy who runs ping pong tournaments and just happened to have Obama on a retainer. Sorry if I can't see the move from machine politician to deity on earth.
This was a pretty pathetic story. A video shows a man crossing the street get plowed into by a car veering into the oncoming lane while making an illegal pass. The guy lays there without anyone helping. Even better, if you look up the street in the video, someone actually backs up and turns around once they see him laying there. Way to stand proud Hartford, Connecticut.
Last week the Danish Embassy in Pakistan was hit with a suicide car bomb. This week the Pakistani ambassador to Denmark has placed the blame squarely on Danish newspapers for reprinting Muhammad cartoons. Let's see. Who would I give more blame to? A group of people exercising the press freedoms that are a major part of the civilized world? I don't think so. How about a culture so insecure and debased that murdering people over newspaper cartoons isn't just understood, it's expected?
Apparently, the ideological heirs to the Pakistani ambassador can be found in Canadian universities. Student government czars at York University have found a novel solution to the pesky problem of students who oppose abortion. Simply ban them from speaking their side of the debate. It's got to be easier than standing around with fingers in your ears and screaming. The nerve of some students to have contrary opinions. Actually, I'm not really surprised by this. Liberals are very intolerant people.
While it may appear that way, I don't avoid fruits and vegetables like they contain the plague. Now, I'm not a huge watermelon fan, but I do enjoy it sometimes. However, it is beyond belief to me that anyone would pay six grand for a single watermelon. But that's what happened in Japan. Not that I should be surprised. Japan is also the country with a strange obsession with toys related to taking a crap.
A female railroad employee was awarded almost $200K for sexual harassment. One of the claims was male employees were putting porno mags on her desk (after seeing her picture, they may have just wanted a distraction while talking to her). That's one lucky woman. Not only did get a wad of cash, she got a bunch of free porno magazines.
I always liked to see things go boom, and this video has one of the finest displays of military hardware I've seen in awhile.

I think racehorses are a lot like people. Sometimes when they come to work, they just don't feel like doing it. I don't really feel bad for Big Brown, he will still be treated better than most horses (or the workers that take care of him) but I did enjoy seeing that cheating big mouth lose. Just like Belicheat. Damn I'm ready for Football to start!
Phil, you don't feel like working any day. No one should feel bad for Big Brown. He doesn't know what losing a race means. He gets fed and next year will be getting almost as much sex as Jenna Jameson in her prime. I was just happy to see his douchebag trainer lose.
