Running in mud is a advantage to the mudders..But I think a wet track is dangerous for some horses.. Hope we don’t see an injury today…

Well, we’ll see if he can win the Preakness. You can’t tell too much from a race on a muddy track, since some horses simply do much better than others on muddy ground.
And the weather doesn’t always favor those you expect it to favor. See Payton Manning’s Superbowl win helming the Colts. I was one of the many people who though an outdoor game in the rain could not fail to favor the Bears, since Indy plays in a dome. But the Bears had trouble holding onto the ball, and Manning had far such trouble.

Friday Congressman Tom Cole came to speak at our company. We are a big high Tech company and he had a big photo-op for the media. I’ll hand it to him..He is a good speaker in public and pretty funny at times. We all had our picture with him also.
He couldn’t resist bringing politics into his speech. I was tempted to wear an Obama shirt but thought better of it. I felt it wasn’t the time or place to be political on a day dedicated to Technical jobs in Oklahoma..So I felt it was the classy thing to do, not mixing the 2 issues..Too bad he didn’t..

Syria’s civil war
Closer to the capital
“…A year ago many believed that once the war had reached the centre of Damascus, the conflict would soon end. Those hopes have faded. Rebel fighters worry that they could get just as bogged down in the capital as they are in Syria’s second city, Aleppo. Stalemate has reigned there since last July. During that time the regime has bombed rebel districts to ruins, while internecine competition between rebel groups has flourished.
It could be even worse in Damascus, since Mr Assad’s forces are entrenched on Mount Qassioun, whose towering height offers a platform from which the regime can launch air and missile strikes.”

I’ve thought about that since I was adopted. I was living in foster homes until I was 12. Mmmm. You don’t end up living in foster homes that long if you were a model child.. I had anger issues and got into fights and shit in school…But really what does it really matter what nationality I came from or who my real folks were that didn’t want me or love me? What difference does it make in my life?

If so he’s fishing in the wrong pond.
Over all, among the 10 American-based information technology companies on the Forbes list of “most admired companies,” Mr. Obama raised 83 percent of the funds between the two major party candidates.
Tech industry types tend to dislike Republican politicians for several reasons, but the big three are the endemic bigotry, distain for science education and the opposition to immigration reform. Going negative against Obama in that environment is likely to alienate far more people than it impresses.

He may be expecting his anti-Obama line to be the line carried by the local news. One reason congresspeople and Senators make these kinds of appearances is to get facetime on the local news (which is still how more Americans get their news than from any other source).

Oh look, Niall Ferguson was a massive douche today.
Historian and author Niall Ferguson apologised has apologised “unreservedly” for “stupid and tactless” remarks in which he implied that John Maynard Keynes did not care about future generations – because he was childless and gay.

LOL DARVO. If anyone “doesn’t care about future generations”, it’s anti-science, social-safety-net-shredding, Ayn-Rand-corpse-humping wingnuts like Ferguson.

re: #121 ProBosniaLiberal
as I put it on the page about that:
Keynes remains one of the most important economists of the 20th Century and odds are the General Theory will still be used in Economics centuries from now. It may well be to “disprove it” as many try to do today with Karl Marx, Adam Smith, or David Ricardo.
Nothing Ferguson has written will be remembered more than a decade after he’s in his grave.
This lashing out is his way of dealing with the jealousy that knowledge causes.

It’s sort of amusing to see some of the comments there.
There were a few with British and Americans blaming each other for the Lord of Assholes.
Sorry Britain, he’s all yours. :D.
