Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

CONGRESS---MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

I have been debating writing this for over a week so here 'tis. It is an election year and so every damn elected official in the United States and some that aren't elected yet are on the stump. They are yammering about this and that and anything that can get them on the spot for a few seconds. My point in this whole blog is BIG BROWN.

They are in the process of setting up a Congressional hearing regarding drugs on the race track---are there drugs on the race track? DUH!!!! Do people try to get by with using them when it is illegal? DUH!!!! Do they get caught? ONLY IF THEY RUN IN THE MONEY!!!! Do the others matter? Probably but no one cares if you lose.

So what the hell is Congress getting involved in this whole thing for? Because we all hoped Big Brown would pull off the first Triple Crown win in thirty years---didn't happen so all his other runs had to be drug influenced---GET OUTTA HERE---CONGRESS GET THE HELL TO WORK ON THINGS THAT MATTER---LIKE THE BUDGET WHICH YOU NEVER SEEM TO BE ABLE TO PASS SO WE GET TO SPEND THE WHOLE YEAR ON A CONTINUING RESOLUTION---OR BETTER YET TAKE A SUMMER RECESS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR AND STAY OUTTA OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS---GIVE ME A BREAK.

I agree with you. I do think some more monitoring needs to be done in the racing industry (there have been way too many tragedies lately) but CERTAINLY NOT by congress. That's just ridiculous. You'd think they have enough to deal with already. Oh wait, they don't really do much of anything so I guess they have all the time in the world...:o)

I'm more concerned with same sex marriage that we in California already voted against. But the supreme court of california decided that our vote doesn't count, and made it legal. It goes up for vote soon, but in the meantime, anyone who wants can marry someone of the same gender. Does the voice of the people count or not???? Luckily, some counties aren't allowing any marriages until this is resolved.
