Don't think for one minute you goddam phonies are gonna get off scot-free now

In Memoriam

Take most people, they're crazy about cars. They worry if they get a little scratch on them, and they're always talking about how many miles they get to a gallon, and if they get a brand-new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that's even newer. I don't even like old cars. I mean they don't even interest me. I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake.

Non racing related reminder

This is not Red China. One need not be brave to take a stand.

Homework assignment: find a pic of Presque Isle Downs' Grandstand

Google image search should have one. Nada. Er...Bing does a have a better image search algorithm, so perhaps there. No such luck. Hrrmmmm...maybe flickr. Nope.

Why can't I find a pic of their grandstand? Because they don't have one. Ah, the future of racing.

Non racing related maintenance post - cold war edition

While delivering his Secret Speech, or more properly The Personality Cult and its Consequences, in 1956 for his campaign of de-Stalinization, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev was reportedly asked by an unseen audience member why, as an advisor to the dictator, he had never stopped Stalin from committing his atrocities. Khrushchev immediately lashed out, "Who said that?" The room grew quiet. Khrushchev repeated his query to more silence, waited a beat, and then said, "Well, now you understand why."

Some dumb impostor cunt (oooooh, i used the C word! go tell the blogger police!) called me a sexist

I'm no bitch. It's guys like you who never get the better women like me. You sexist fool.

easy, sugar breeches. but srsly, who called you a bitch? LET ME AT'EM, LET ME AT'EM!


le sigh. escuche, anon...i'm brazenly feminist. i bet i've read a lot more mary daly than you, god rest her soul.


liberty in the tradition of benthem and mill must be a hallmark of any philosophy to which i'll subscribe. part and parcel to the ideal is that one owns their body. those that discount the fickle whims of societal pressures in favor of principle for that in which they believe should be heralded. such folk are the cornerstone of free peoples.


I had never heard of bethenny frankel before this PETA advert, but based on a single data point she's very possibly such a cornerstone. given your presentation of yourself, anon, you're not worthy to schlep her fucking wardrobe to the green room.


furthermore, i ain't calling anyone a bitch, other than perhaps the fools that read this space and take it so seriously as to be offended. and i certainly ain't so labeling anyone brave enough to bare all to further their cause to better the world as they see it, but i have serious reservations that you are such a person.


bethenny deserves kudos. she's a strong woman, secure in her sense of self such that she's not likely to concern herself with such bombastic internet drivel. you could learn a thing or two from her. sadly, those with the air of an uptight publicist are prolly bankrupt of these very traits. she's also prolly smart enough to know there's no such thing as bad press.


while i'm loathe to redact text--a despotic regime's attempt at polemics--i'm going to make an edit here such that there can be no confusion.


lastly, anon: in the immortal words of one of the world's greatest trainers to ever tack up a horse, bobby frankel, go fuck yourself.

Want to see Bobby Frankel's daughter naked?

Yeah yeah, I know: you heard about her PETA endorsement way back when. Whatevs. It's a click garnering headline and a good way for me to plug the top notch blogger over at EquiSpace. Go to his blog for the pic. I don't traffic in such salacious posts because I'm classy. That's right, I'm fucking classy, bitches ya filthy lecherous bastards surfing for skin pics.

Ida Maria redux

About a year go, this blog touted I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked by Ida Maria, an up and coming Norwegian rocker. The song was released in the US several months later. Now, New York Newsday has voted one of her songs from the album best single of the year. Predictions of her taking down the best new artist Grammy are running rampant through the tubes of the interwebs. Stay tuned for more of next year's headlines presently.

Belmont president Alfred Vanderbilt looks like Matthew Broderick, no?
