I love how Pamela Anderson was all about the Kentucky Derby til someone in PETA yelled at her. She's a member and was a fan. I think she didn't realize we were on PETA's s**t list. Now she's calling it cruelty. As much as I believe in the ethical treatment of animals, I can practice it without joining up with PETA. I like horse racing, fried chicken is delicious, and I'm gonna call my dog a "pet" if I darn well please.
As for where I'm watching the Derby, in my house, probably from the same television I saw the Rags to Riches/Curlin Belmont. Yeah, I really need to get a newer tv. Am I the only one who doesn't have a flat screen?
