Random Thoughts, Notes, & Incidents

Yesterday, to honor Cinco de Mayo, W gave his weekly radio address in Spanish as well as English. Great. Now we have a president who is incoherent in two languages.

In other news, Monarchos "has been declared the official winner" of the Kentucky Derby. Another jockey, John Velazquez who finished second on Invisible Ink, claimed that Monarchos' jockey, Jorge Chavez, interfered with him at the quarter pole. After a quick review, Judges handed the victory to Monarchos.

I just kind of like how they said that he had been "declared the official winner" rather than simply saying, "He won." Not that I'm making any kind of comparison between the Kentucky Derby and the presidential election. Not at all. The Derby is important: People have money riding on the outcome.
