What is the thoroughbred industry doing about the animal "rights" nutters who want to destroy all animal sports in the name of "animal rights" and veganism?  They need to get off their asses and shut down this bullshit.

It might be overdue to either take apart or burn down the bus the mentally ill wanderer Chris McCandless stayed in before he died in 1992.

This guy shouldn't be made into a hero.  He was an example of the failure of the mental health system to help him.

A McCandless cultist paid for it with her life the other day.

Democratic debate stream is here.

My response:  It's time to cull the herd.  Hickenlooper, who sounds like a refugee from an old Sid Caesar-Imogene Coca skit, should hang it up.  Ditto for Delaney, who got too much airtime; Ryan; crackpot Williamson;  Beto, who did better tonight but has no real shot; and Sanders, whose poll numbers are careening into the ditch.  Mayor Pete cannot get elected president.  Voters are not going to vote a gay man into the White House.  Also, his education proposals stink just like Cory Booker's.  Mayor Pete should also withdraw.  He is smart and articulate--he is an Ivy League brat who also was a Rhodes Scholar--but he has no shot.

Klobuchar got little airtime, but she was good when she was on.  Bullock also did well.  Warren made some good points, but unfortunately she is not a particularly good debater.  However, I am glad she is running because she has basically rendered Sanders a marginal candidate.
