Fine Line Between Comedy and Tragedy

Facts:

They ran the Kentucky Derby over the weekend.

Hillary Clinton picked the only philly in the race, a horse called “Eight Belles” to win the big show.

Her horse was soundly trounced.

By a horse named “Big Brown”

Her horse broke BOTH its front ankles after the race.

The injury was so severe that the horse had to be put down.

Draw your own conclusions.

  1. Wow, that’s eerie. Did she really pick that horse? Conspiracy theorists are gonna have a ball with this one. :-)

  2. Let that be a lesson to us all.

    Karma works.

  5. Not to be hopeful based on someone else’s misfortune—but, you know, I am.

  7. Yes,that same idea crossed my mind.  But I’ve been so upset about the poor horse that I couldn’t take appropriate joy in the symbolism.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
