The weather today was so lousy that we were prisoners indoors and the only thing interesting on the TV was the Belmont coverage. Now that the world is thoughly disappointed in the outcome, we move on. Big Brown was not in the mood to race in the sweltering heat in NY and Kent Desormeaux did the right thing pulling him up when he felt no horse under him. Brownie is too valuable to abuse into an off the board finish. That's the way the horseshoe bounces I guess. We'll have to wait and see what happens next with the horse.
On the political side I watched the fooforaw that was Hillary's concession speech. In typical Clinton controlling, dramatic fashion they kept everyone waiting. Then they made a grand entrance. Hillary took her deserved applause. Her speech was great for the first 10 or 15 minutes then it went on. And on. I started surfing channels. Checked back and she was still talking. Started surfing again, checked back, for fun this time, and she was still going. Somebody pull the batteries from that thing!

What I never understand is why don't they postpone races when its sooo hot. Bad for TV I guess. But, it seems cruel.
Oh, don't be so hard on Hillary. She may be long winded, but at the the end there I think she really just wanted to prove that a woman could run and be taken seriously. Sadly, I'm not sure she did. I'm still pondering that. It seems like in the end - politics is jest politics. Oh, well. Sigh.
