"Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

Horse Doovers
For a brief moment Saturday mid-afternoon (freaking allergies tore me up this weekend), I remembered that it was Derby Day, and nearly cared enough to saunter in and make smug wisecracks about Saudi gazillionaires renting Venezuelan midgets to ride million-dollar ponies in a circle for the amusement of douchebags. Then, of course, I tuned in that night and read what else had happened. Sad deal. Nothing will change, any which way. Maybe less inbreeding and more developmental time for the horses would reduce the risk.
