Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Fuck you, cancer, you asshole.
I really, truly, don't mean to be antagonistic here, and it DOES totally suck that Paul Newman has lung cancer, but -- isn't the connection between a lifetime of smoking and its odds of causing one to develop lung cancer a well-supported medical fact?
Like I said, it sucks that he has it. And cancer IS an asshole. But....first-hand smoking is a lung cancer risk factor that's avoidable. I'm not pretending that it's easy to quit, but still.
And what do you think about Dutrow, at this point, shifting the blame onto Desormeaux?
Dude has always been a tool.

By the time that fact was being widely advertised, though, he was well into adulthood. In the 40s and 50s, the things were still being sold as good for you and your nerves.
It strikes me as a little weird that Desormeaux eased him up so much, but on the other hand, after what happened to Eight Belles, they would have had his *head* if anything had happened to Big Brown.
So we've kinda given up on the mug. Can y'all think of any other Michael Scott accouterments we could fill his cube with. We've already done Sandals brochures, and joke books.

Yeah, this. Which, as the horse did have a bruise earlier, if he wasn't running right (even though he didn't feel lame), means Kent was going on the side of caution.
As for Dutrow, he's a doper, a tool, and a cheat. Guy like him, honestly, oughta be banned from the sport.
Yeah, I can see where Dutrow is leading up to changing jocks and hoping that everyone will accept it as his fault.
I just wish that ABC had treated Da'Tara's connections like people who'd won a big race.

Preferably ending peacefully in bed surrounded by fat, happy grand and great-grandchildren, not with tubes and IVs and lung cancer. Fuck you, cancer, you asshole.
I know this doesn't help, but he doesn't have to have tubes and IVs (except for painkillers) if he doesn't want them.
Hubs's mother spent her last days at her home, tubeless except for morphine, surrounded by loved ones.

True. Like suntanning in the 1970s was pimped as "healthy." If I could grandfather-clause my yearly childhood sunburns so that they didn't contribute to my huge chances of getting skin cancer, I would. Same with smoking.
Maybe the owners will change trainers.
OMGbadimplosion!
