That is precisely what happens when your brain is small and limits you to either/or thinking. It is possible to respect law enforcement and detest/speak out against their bad apples simultaneously....

Kiki, congratulations on your marriage to Justin Trudeau!

H.I.V. Is Coming to Rural America
And rural America is not ready.

While there are still about a million people living with H.I.V. in the United States, in some of America’s largest cities, the...

What I don't understand is what DHS was trying to accomplish by setting up a fake university. Did they assume radical islamists would enroll in droves--but didn't?

Thanks for sharing that. It is encouraging.

I am excited and feel really good about it. The research has been exhausting, and 5 million things can go wrong. But, hopefully, it will be fun. :)

Compared to Hunter Biden, who is the center of a major scandal and just found out he has another kid he didn't know about... Hunter is NOT sleepy... :cheesy:

But see? #WakeUp is inherently dismissive. It's not helpful at all. It just disenfranchises people even more by accusing them of being "asleep"... That's not gonna change anyone's mind.

So, I did it. Yesterday, I signed the contract. Last night, I wrote the check. This morning, I put them in the mailbox. In a week or so, it will be official--I'll own 1% of three thoroughbred...

Thanks for your efforts, Papa Kirkus!

What we have in some of the most recent posts are great examples of the depth and breadth of sociopolitical exclusion that kept many people from voting in 2016. It's valid, and I wish more...

Thanks, Ribbons. Much appreciated.

Nicholas Kristof's column for today in the NY Times has this headline: Venezuela Kids are Dying. But it's behind a paywall. Does anyone have a subscription? I can't find a bootlegged copy anywhere.

This happened yesterday. I am encouraged by the specific reform measures presented at the link.

Leading Thoroughbred Racing Organizations Launch Safety Coalition

LEXINGTON (November 19, 2019) –...

All fixed. (I think.)

All of the medals have been awarded! (And this time, without error!)

The good news is that the WTA Prediction Contest and Race to Shenzhen winners all got medals.

The bad news is that a few of you did not get the RIGHT medal. I'll need kirkus' help getting this...

Roger was simply pitiful on break points--1 of 12. What 1 of 12 doesn't tell you was that Roger had 0-40 on Stefano's serve at least twice that I saw and only converted 1 of those.

I did not see...

Whatever the hell that means...

If you're Rafa, do you shut down your 2019 season now and prepare for 2020, especially since you're partially injured? Or do you risk it and try to pad the lead?

I say shut the season down....

I'm pretty sure that would require owning more than 1% of a horse. :)

BTW, I saw a horse named Roddick win a race today... I couldn't tell you where. I was in the throes of getting dinner ready....

Mitole was first purchased for $20,000 as a yearling and then resold for $140K as a 2-year-old in training. He won the Breeder's Cup Sprint a few weeks ago and now has over $3 million in earnings....

Sorry. Just one other thing.

There is A LOT of compassion within the thoroughbred community. One of the best examples is the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (https://pdjf.org).

skatingfan, I saw your post this morning and have been thinking about it all day. I have seen that video before and many others like it, so I have zero interest in watching it again. And for anyone...

Neither of those responses fall into the "please talk me out of it" category. :)

I still need to have a conversation with the Manager, who is a woman, which is pretty rare. The partnership I am...
