Default Barbaro on the front page of the NYTimes

Here's the link. According to the article, the doc puts his odds back at 50-50, which is a lot better than they were in July. Hang in there, Barbaro!

The New York Times is a dying, putrified, leftist propaganda rag.

They give no coverage whatsoever to thoroughbred racing ... none, zero ... not even the daily entries from Belmont or Saratoga.

I haven't read the story ... and won't ... but their only possible motivation in publishing this story .. or any story for that matter ... would be to somehow twist it to bash Bush, the Republicans, and America.

A pox on Pinch and his minions.

At least he still has a fighting chance. We have had a really bad year with injuries and ailments. I wish that LITF still had a chance. Both are in my prayers.

BB, you crack me up. But in all seriousness, you're missing out on a lovely article.

Always glad to learn about a smile.

And here's a guarantee that you can make book on ... within a year Pinch ... and his minions ... will be bounced by the family ... after enormous pressure from outside investors who are totally disgusted with the little twerp and his snotnose staff.

The whole editorial policy will be revamped to their old straight-news-loopy-editorials format. The days of The Times being a pure leftist propaganda outfit ... are severely numbered.

Begin the countdown.
