Junk Drawer - 5/2 - Kentucky Derby/The Get Rid Of West Side Bernie FanPost

Listen, I know there are a ton of you out there that feel the way I do, so I wish to try to help Blazers Edge by just making a designated post for all the West Side Bernie hate that will be coming out during the next few days. Let's try to restrict it to one post, so we don't annoy those blind West Side Bernie backers (That is in no way a backhanded insult to fans of Bernie). We know that Bernie is the biggest weakpoint in the Derby, and both the Kentucky Derby and Bernie himself would be better apart.
All I'm saying with this is, let's reduce the Fan Post population, and just vent our West Side Bernie feelings here.
The race starts at 3:04 PM PST and 12:04 PM HST. It should be fun to watch together like we did last year.

My money is on “Friesan Fire” unless someone can “Hold Me Back”. You know, “I Want Revenge” for what happened with my “Regal Ransom” last year.
But I got good “Advice” from an advanced horse scout who understands HORSE efficiency ratings that while your controversial favorite “West Side Bernie” has good odds, “Pioneer Of The Nile” is the real international dark horse with an amazing track record of 8-5-0-1. It would take an “Atomic Rain” to stop him.
I hear Paul Allen is also a big fan of horse racing, “Flying Private” to Kentucky every year to watch it.
Jksnake and Cablinasian are betting that “Dunkirk” will win the race to the point and PA should have bought him long ago, yet other people complain he is not worth that investment at 4-1 odds.
Bayless twittered Ben his favorite is “Summer Bird”, but I think he confused him with “Mine That Bird” who KP has high on his list.
After his success in Phoenix over the All-Star weekend, Rudy thinks “Desert Party” would be a good thing.
Travis said he had a weird feeling “Musket Man” would kill the competition although his scattering is all over the place.
While BRoy is sure that “Mr. Hot Stuff” will take the crown.
Channing and Sergio agreed that their favorite to win it all was “Chocolate Candy”. That caused Sarge to come out of his “General Quarters” to object heavily. He thinks only “Papa Clem” has veteran experience it takes to win in such a long race like Kentucky.
But yeah if Bernie loses, he will have “Nowhere to Hide”. “Join in the Dance” Blazer’s Edgers.
P.S.: Call me “Old Fashioned”, but it’s too bad “Beethoven” had to be taken off the track. I love that horse. Such a “Quality Road” companion. He just loves to eat “The Pamplemousse” in “Vineyard Haven” with his friend “Mafaaz”. Also “Midshipman” was gunning so high, I think he was “Stardom Bound”. It’s a real tragedy “Square Eddie” never fits into the round starting gate, otherwise he would surely “Take the Points”. And if only we could “Win Willy” set free..

i just left my girlfriend's house
because her son woke up and came into her room at 5 AM and was all, “mommy i’m lonely, mommy, come and lie in bed with me.” Now, if it wasn’t the weekend, and the kid wasn’t seven, I’d cut him a break, but it was just irritating the hell out of me, so put my head up and asked “do you ever do this at your dad’s house?” and he said “No.” then he got upset and i apologized, but the little manipulative turd still got his mom to feel sorry for him and she went in his room to lie down with him and console him. I tried to go back to sleep there, but decided just to go home to search for peace, the only problem is the drive home woke me up.
I don’t know about you guys, but my parents didn’t let me manipulate them like that. I understand that mom’s are different than dad’s in their nurturing, and he’s an only child, i get that, the kid is great, but there has to be a point where you tell a kid “we all get lonely, even when our mom is asleep in the other room, but let me sleep dammit!”

Kids from the ages like 5-13 just suck IMO.
I mean sure they are cute and great and blah blah blah but they can be such little snots. And worst of all, like you said, they know how to be manipulative. I just wish I could fast forward through these years when I have kids. So much sass from them too.

I paid $70,000 for a Costco hot dog once.
Coke included, of course.

What! Impossible!
Costco has fantastic deals. I have had a hot dog from there before. It was delicious.

Quite possible, unfortunately.
I used two of the then just-released Sacagawea dollar coins to pay for the hot dog. One of them was a normal dollar coin and looked like this:
.
The other one looked like this:
The coin misstamped with Washington’s likeness is what is known in coin collecting parlance as a mule. About ten of these were eventually discovered. Prices for them at auction have ranged from $30,000 to $70,000.
It’s nice that I can talk about it now without banging my head against a brick wall. But ever since then I’ve hated Costco hot dogs.

oh wow.
sounds like my dad. When the internet was just becoming a big thing he sat down to register 10 domains, each at 7 bucks a piece at the time.
One of them that was available at the time was “Business.com” which sold for over 10 million later on. He also had “Buy.com” and a few others.
He ended up not pulling the trigger because 1) He thought the government would regulate the buying and selling of them and 2) He was short on cash that month (he was in college at the time).
Bummer, I say. Bummer.

I loved the guy on Entourage who according to the script made millions selling stamps.com
I know someone who was an early investor in Yahoo! as a consultant, but sold everything before they went public. When he told me that, I asked “hundreds of shares?”, and he said “more like hundreds of thousands”. Ouch. He is doing well, but that would have made him a multi-millionaire for sure.

When Nike was starting to up in the 70's
my dad heard that Phil Knight was looking for money from people to help get it going and my dad asked my grandpa about it, who was a knowledgeable investor. My dad said he was thinking about investing in it and my grandpa laughed at him and told him he would be wasting his money. Whoops, where is the redo button?

by tominrehab on May 3, 2009 10:36 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
good question
In theory I am but I sure as heck didn’t want to vote for John McCain this year. Of course, I didn’t really want to vote for Barack either so I was in a pickle.

by prezofdeath on May 3, 2009 11:18 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
my beliefs are obviously "conservative"
so I should vote for McCain I guess, but he was so lame that I really had a hard time justifying a vote for him. I feel like he thought that most conservatives would have to vote for him over Barack because he was simply more conservative than Barack by comparison, but he certainly isn’t what I’d want in a President.
The man was downright…well just watch this video and that’s why I can’t vote for him.
At the same time, while I respect Obama to the utmost and think is an amazing senator/President, there are some policies and issues I just don’t agree with, so I couldn’t really throw my weight behind him either.
Bear in mind this was my first election this year, and I’m still in college….my views are still being formed. I know for a fact I’m not a Democrat, and yet at the same time I don’t really like the Republican party as it stands right now. I don’t want to be one of those independents or libertarians that only get 1% of the vote, so I’m really in a conundrum right now.

by prezofdeath on May 3, 2009 11:28 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
at any rate, now that Barack has been elected President I'm going to stand behind him and wish him the best of luck
I may not agree with his policies, but he is our commander in chief. I’ll probably won’t agree with his decisions, but I’ll support him nonetheless as long as he is president.

really good response Prez
Would you say you’re “conservative” on economic issues (lower taxes, smaller government, etc.) or social issues (no abortion, no gay marriage, etc.) or both?
Some younger Republicans, like Megan McCain, are more liberal on some of the social issues—like she thinks gay marriage is OK—but still considers herself a Republican.
by tominrehab on May 4, 2009 12:44 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
On economic issues, I can be either
depending on the situation. I wish we would be a lot more conservative in the way we deal with criminals (harsher punishments, not so much extended jail time that eats up our money)….
I’m not really sure though if I like our medical system as it is though.
I favor the liberal view for schools—lots of taxes to fund good education.
I’m not one of those types that just throws my lot in with one party. There’s different things to look at for each issue. I have a hard time just labeling myself “conservative” or “liberal.”
I’m probably closer to conservative than liberal, but there are some issues where I’d favor the liberal stance.

I guess I'm kind of the reverse of Megan McCain
Conservative on social issues and willing to listen to the liberals on economic issues.

McCain wasn't really conservative
I think the mistake people make is equating ‘conservative’ with ‘Republican party.’ I have conservative views, but there are so many things about the Republican party that I don’t like.

Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I didn't like McCain
he looked like he was trying to make some concessions for the liberals, which I didn’t like.
McCain was my least favorite Republican this year. Easily.

Frustrating as heck, wasn’t it? I had one up and running, left the room for a minute, came back to a message I had been banned. Sweet. But that was when none of the game sites would come up, either, so perhaps my evil twin Skippy didn’t really take over the keyboard. Had to follow the rest of the game on Yahoo’s game channel. Bah.

No way
They are going to lose Ben Gordon to free agency, they are not young, they have a horrible coach, no post game, no way of ever beating LeBron in a series. I guess 5 years is a loooong time in the NBA, but I don’t see it. They are going to be in the playoffs for sure, but in the finals? Maybe if they get lucky (like playing the Celtics without KG).

Sergio says he doesn't expect to return.
“I don’t know what my future (is) going to be,” Rodriguez said. “I think something is going to happen, either a trade, or something. But I think for me, I feel like I need a change. I need to play a different way. I really enjoy playing three years here. But I think I need something (different). I feel after three years, I need a change.”

You dont have a lot of trade value because you are really not that good but I know that your agent wants you to be treated in a natural manner so you and Travis and a fistfull of picks have been traded to a really poor team for Ricky ,good luck
