I fell as though I do understand Louisiana politics in how it relates to the horse racing industry...if I did not feel I was qualified to chime in than I would not have...if the topic of discussion was Boom Town casino in Shreveport having it's liscense pulled for allowing minors to gamble - then I would NOT have chimed in with an opinion....this is a chat board and when a thread comes up that I have a strong, educated opinion on then I respond with it...

As for the 'moron' comment, it was a pretty harsh statement by me - I agree, but ironically the reason that I made that comment is because I felt the poster was very uninformed as proved by the contents of his statements (kind of like you think I am) and so I lashed out....my bad....I do like Steve Asmussen a lot, but I also can say that I am unbiased in the fact that NOBODY deserved the punishment that he was dished out...just my opinion and I would have probably defended anybody against that judgement - not just Steve.

..as for the suit comment, you are very correct....look at it my way though...when you are doing multiple video shooting a week, you learn to just leave your 'cheapest' suit jackets in the office to slip on at any time....if you noticed, it was abouyt the same jacket everytime and I wasn't going to leave a good suit coat in my office collecting dust on a cheap coat rack....make sense?...good observation though
