Well, Obama carried NC and bloody near carried Indiana and still Hillary goes on and on with her semi-hysterical laugh and delusion that endlessness equates with virtue and toughness. Of course, most of us know that the really tough thing to do is say, “I lost” and get about the business of helping the party make sure we have no more Bushi in our future. But it is way easier to play the feisty little woman and to hell with the greater issue: saving the USA. So be it, Hill. There are lots of ways to write history. You have chosen the worst possible.
And I am proud of Obama. The organizers he sent to my area were the best. He has acquitted himself as an honorable person and when was the last time we saw that running for president? He calls to each of us to be the best that we can. What more can one want
On another matter, I hope many of you will join with me in forever boycotting horse races. After years of not watching, I finally watched this year’s Derby at a friend’s house and was briefly deluded that it was a nifty competition. Then got home to find that Eight Belles had died of trying and whipping and trying and whipping. I am sick of the myth that the horses love it. I am sick of insurance scammers inserting electrical devices into a horse’s anus to collect insurance monies. I am, in sum, sick of people making money from animals.
And I realize today that I would save any cat, dog, horse, whatever in the world before I would save a person.

I agree with your take on Hillary, AB. Too bad she won’t see it and gracefully bow out. Altho, it might be too late for that.
I saw the derby and not much was shown about the horse that went down after the race. I too was sad when I learned she had to be put down. Some People suck.

It is really astonishing that she seems delighted to be such a spoiler. I wonder how magnificent will be her political future if she hands the election to McCain. argh.

Your last statement Puffin is exactly why I detest PETA…they put animal life above human life.
Society can kill babies, but will suffer the wrath of the ages if an animal should be harmed!
Unbalanced outlook on the meaning of life, is a mild disclaimer.

Look at it this way, Tex: People have the capacity of make and act on choices; they can in large part determine what happens to them.
Animals and kids are totally subject to the whims of people/adults around them or the vagaries of nature.
For that reason, I value energies spent making the lives of animals and little kids way more than energies spent salvaging adults who have chosen not to choose. Or chosen wrong.

Okay…now you have added ‘little kids’ to your mix of saving along with animals. That nixes your original statement of passing up humankind to save an animal.
Kids are our future..and as far as I am concerned, modern parenting is a miserable failure. Families are split for various reasons, latch-key kids are the rule rather than the exception, whatever the causation..it is wrong, wrong, wrong! And, our society is paying a big price as we move backwards into the future!

Have a martini. I just joined PETA. My concerns are with the helpless….kids when they are very young and animals always.

I don’t imbibe in order to escape reality..thanks anyway. Have you renewed your ACLU membership?
Extremism has way too much sway in this fair land and prices will be paid down the road.
Everything needs repair in this country, from the top down. (I ain’t talking about our roads and bridges!)
A vote does not count when activist judges void the voices of the ballot box which happens almost daily in many ‘progressive’ states.
