    Yup, they really want to eliminate waste!

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-reopen-alcatraz-prison-231829516.html on the bright side, trump seems to think it will be his future home. i mean, you aren't gonna find many worse than a 34-time felon.

    Madrid final

    i'll take that. draper just fell apart when he was serving for the first set. looking ahead, i can't wait to see his draw at wimbledon. unless it's terrible, i'll probably bet him to at least make the semis. not sure how he's done on grass, but his game sure seems like it should play well...

    thanks, rock! it was fun as always. if the 21 didn't have trouble in the stretch, i would have made a profit. but that's how it goes. in addition to the double, i forgot a threw a few bucks WPS on the 18 and the 21, so got a little back there as well. still dropped $100 - $150 on the day...

    well, if baeza didn't have to check up in the stretch, it might have been a decent exacta. oh well. had the 18 in the oaks/derby double, so not a total loss. but definitely still a loss. on the bright side, i'm still a little buzzed from all the mint juleps. and completely ready to pass...

    hey, nobody's perfect. thank you. funny how this party has changed over the years. it started as just a stupid drunkfest (big shock!). now everybody is older (another big shock!). we mostly just hang out, play some cornhole, then watch the race. most everybody is gone by 8. you gonna...

    i'm leaving the 19 out, but he has a great pattern and no reason to think he won't run well (for him). i think he's just too slow coming in. he'll need to really jump up to be competitive today. but, hey, i've been wrong about a race or two in my life.

    do you like bourbon? although we even have a few non-bourbon drinkers who enjoy the juleps. they just get 'em a little sweeter. since i'm the one making the juleps, i use a trick to make them simple. last night, i made a simple syrup and then threw in a bunch of mint leaves. and just before...

    probably not. 1) i already made salsa. 2) we have standards. this is at the door, except instead of inches, it's IQ.

    Hosting my 21st annual Derby party tomorrow

    been spending less and less time on the horses recently, and continuing that this weekend. have spent almost no time on the derby, but i'm looking to beat the fav (journalism). playing some combo of the 2, 5, 12, 18, and 21. maybe another one or two underneath, if i get crazy. looking...

    the whole country is defeated. you're just too buried in the cult to see it, so you're celebrating. any real tax cuts that may be coming will be for the ultra-rich and corporations. you think some temporary pissant tax cut is going to help the working class while the price of everything...
