Another Kentucky Derby horse, runner up Eight Belles, is injured. She is killed immediately, as opposed to Barbaro, whose treatment lasted for six months before he was killed.
All the ladies in their pretty dresses, all the men in their fine suits, America's wealthy, off to a fine day of tradition and conspicuous anachronism, and they had no idea they were walking into a slaughterhouse.
I have been writing this blog for 18 months now. I don't appear to be finding many readers, but I have not been promoting the blog either.
I try to write provocative antiwar comments, and particularly like to highlight news stories that contradict the standard right wing msm propaganda. Here is one mildly acerbic comment from November 07 about the Mukasey nomination and his ignorance about whether waterboarding is torture:
If you want to be attorney general, you should be able to answer a simple question about whether an action that is obviously illegal is, in fact, illegal. If you can't do that, how can you do the job?
I have a few white hairs. I was never in the armed forces. I'm a U. S. citizen. I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004. I have never been to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Alaska, Hawaii, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, or Rhode Island
