    Red Ice?

    Yup. It was over before I even turned it on.

    "sometimes"? I defy anybody to find one coherent, intelligent post he's made.

    Oaklawn Handicap

    Pretty straightforward. They wanted to move her to the west coast. I wouldn't be surprised if this was at least partly driven by how much she hated the mud in the Oaks. A lot less mud in Southern California. And, like I said, I own a tiny, tiny share. Through one of those microshare things...

    Red Ice?

    Ok, this is a fun parlay that I just bet. Part red clay and part ice. Because it's only half tennis, I'm not going to count it in my record. Shelton & Cobolli first set Over 9.5 games/Buffalo Sabres to win their series over Boston +135

    2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs

    Very bold, with 90 seconds left in the Flyers game. Could be a big flurry from the Pens coming up. Or even a Fleury.

    Anybody still do their taxes......

    No sir. I mean, you obviously have to pay for the tax prep software (unless you have super easy taxes, for which there are free options). But there's no charge for e-filing. And don't give them any ideas!

    They soooooooooooo Horny

    At least she's over 18. Unlike the girls associated with Matt Gaetz. Remember him? The guy donny thought should be the AG?

    Only with you, apparently. I don't have the best eyesight, but I certainly don't see his name mentioned once in this thread.

    Oaklawn Handicap

    Unreal. Sovereignty and Journalism battled for the front and set fast fractions for a 9 furlong race. And in the process they burned each other out. Brilliant! Boomer, I hope you had a great time! Very cool, seeing some of the top horses in training. I've been lucky enough to see some...

    Oaklawn Handicap

    Oh, and the horse I own a tiny, tiny share of is racing tomorrow at Santa Anita. 8th race. It's an even worse betting race than the Oaklawn Handicap. Her name is Simply Joking and she's a very slight favorite over the Baffert horse.

    Oaklawn Handicap

    No problem. I don't handicap much these days, so it was fun to dig into a race. I guess my thought on WA... either put him on top or don't use him. Given my track record (Ha! My "track" record!), this means WA is a lock to finish exactly 2nd.

    In principle, I agree. Other countries seem to understand the importance of giving people the opportunity to vote. Making Election Day a holiday and/or on a weekend. And in 22 countries voting is mandatory. BUT... Democracy doesn't work with an uninformed electorate. Look at where we are...

    Greatest Military in History

    Republicans have a long history of being eager to send our military into harm's way, and then declining to take care of them after the fight. Now they're just getting a head start on treating them like shit.

    Oaklawn Handicap

    Ok, Boomer (ha, see what I did there!), here goes nothing. And just one note... I use Thorograph for my handicapping. In case you're not familiar, they take into account a lot of factors, including weight and ground loss. Quick example, say two horses finish in a dead heat. But one horse was...

    Really cool video.

    Oaklawn Handicap

    Well, I can handicap the race and tell you who I like. So you'll at least know who NOT to bet. Honestly though? Only a 6-horse field with 3 short-priced horses... looks like a shitty betting race.

    e-filing = faster refund faster refund = no brainer

    No wayyyyy

    Yeah, wish I knew that before I bet the Under. The game is now guaranteed to fly over the total.

    It is certainly apropos that the AI uses immigration reform as its example of political gridlock. At its core, there are two reasons why we can't get meaningful immigration reform. 1) I think this is what the AI meant by "governance driven by electoral strategy rather than problem-solving."...

    Why?

    That's an easy one. Same reason we're there in the first place.
