now everythings a little upside down

as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped...…..so the great state of Alabama has decided to ignore , disregard and bypass the Law of the Land......they are so certain that they are on the right side of history that they have decided to restrict abortions, punish doctors that perform abortions and no longer accept the supreme courts decision on Roe V Wade......and the left is loosing their collective minds......this is kind of like NYC, San Francisco and other liberal outposts declaring themselves "Sanctuary" Cities.....they refuse to accept the Federal Governments authority on Immigration issues....they refuse to cooperate with ICE and other law enforcement agencies with regard to "illegal Aliens"....they are so certain that they are on the right side of history when it comes to Juan and Pedro......I wonder if they see highlights of hypocrisy when they gaze into the mirror ?

From the sublime

To the ridiculous, as Thomas Paine pointed out  there’s not much difference....comes news from the wonderful world of college education...entrance exams will now include bonus points....not for getting questions right, but for the amount of adversity you faced growing up.....you heard that right....the schools will develop a criteria and then award points for kids who lived in high crime neighborhoods, had divorced parents, lived in city housing etc etc.......so in other words they are discriminating against kids that had a decent upbringing......once again America is punishing success and rewarding failure.....so the parent that works 2 or 3 jobs to raise their family in a good environment, who puts their own happiness aside to send their kids to the finest schools is being punished and the The slobs that leave their spouses and neglect their kids are reaping rewards in reduced tuition and favorable acceptance into schools.....America is upside down....the madness has to cease.

Oh the benches were stained

with tears and perspiration.....
The birdies were flying from tree to tree, 
There was little to say, there was no conversation
As I stepped to the stage to pick up my degree....
Yeah well it’s about that time, but sooo very much as changed since Robert Zimmerman graduates from Hibbing High School in Minnesota......today I read a snippet about a high school ( forgive me but I don’t recall where) that is doing away with the class valedictorian....they feel it creates unhealthy competition and stress......let that sink in..... the same school administrators across the country that have bullied a generation of kids into taking on mountains of debt to go to college because they would be useless without a college degree are now discouraging those kids from embracing their education and challenging themselves to be the best.........my friends, there is no such thing as unhealthy competition....it is in fact the only way to better yourself at whatever task is at hand.....the t-ball generation is afraid to strike out, afraid to loose, terrified of failure.....but instead of using those fears as motivation...they simply change the rules....every one gets to bat, keep swinging until you hit the ball and don’t allow anyone to keep score.....(Patrick Garry was a man ahead of his time, he always kept score at his daughters tball games and he made sure she knew if her team won or lost) .....sadly we are turning into a nation of frightened little girls.... requiring/demanding safe spaces....afraid of debate or differing opinions, unable or unwilling to accept unfavorable results ( elections, entrance exams etc etc) we are the calf that is being fattened for slaughter and our days are numbered....our enemies see it and are bidding their time......we will self implode or be extinguished in the next 50 years if we do not come to our senses.......I just hope their is beeeeer, dogs, music and women in the afterlife.....or wherever the fuck I end up. ( if you are reading this blog in the 22nd century, I hope I was wrong.... and I hope the Rangers are in the Stanley Cup Finals)...........sing it Bobby

I put down my robe, picked up my diploma
Took hold of my sweetheart and away we did drive
Straight for the hills, the black hills of Dakota
Sure was glad to get out of there alive
And the locusts sang, well, it give me a chill
Yeah, the locusts sang such a sweet melody
And the locusts sang with a high whinin' trill
Yeah, the locusts sang and they was singing for me
Singing for me, well, singing for me

Derby Rant 2019

To Drink or Not too Drink, that is the true War of Will , and i'm talking real drinking, like a Long Range Toddy or a shot of Vekoma , not a Plus Que Parfait or some other silly Spinoff, By my Standards if you want to be a Game Winner you got start drinking at sunrise and continue throughout the day....if you have to run an errand on the Bodexpress you better grab a Roadster, if you want to  Win Win Win, just ignore the Tax and buy a bottle of Haikal and get busy...in no time you'll be dancing like a Master Fencer , telling humorous tales and displaying  your Cutting Humor and dazzling the felines like a regular Gray Magician...just always follow your own Code of Honor and if you have to leave your Country House always bring a Tacitus Flask of fine spirits, as Improbable as all this seems , it may just provide Maximum Security.

and that Boys and Girls is how I see the Derby Playing out...…..Maximun Security uptop…...exatca with Improbable......and a 4 horse Triple / Superfects with Tacitus and Country house (  if its wet, forget Country House and include one of the big faves Roadter or Game Winner in exotics)...alas I have been wrong before., but not today.

Omaha Beach

very disappointing to learn that Omaha Beach has scratched. As much as I love Mike Smith I was not going to put the favorite on top of my exotics..... I was hoping he would draw a lot of money his way and increase the payout for the winner ( I will reveal my pick on Saturday as improbable as that may seem.).........final thoughts on the Dan Jam , who knows what evil lurks, where  envy stirs bad intent, what darkness looms in the souls of the disenfranchised. when lifelong friends turn cold in the blink of an eye, one can only wonder why. To those who could not offer a hearty hello, your motives are exposed.
