LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The cowboy and his horse beat them all.
Four Hall of Fame trainers. The ruler of Dubai. Two very sentimental favorites.

Trainer Bennie Woolley Jr. hitched Mine That Bird to the back of his pickup and drove to the Kentucky Derby from New Mexico. With an inspired ride on the rail from Calvin Borel, it all added up to one of the greatest upsets in 135 years of America's most famous horse race.

"Those cowboys," trainer Bob Baffert said, "they came with a good horse."

Mine That Bird went off at 50-1 odds Saturday, but that was only one measure of how little attention he garnered before pulling away in the stretch to score a 6¾-length victory at Churchill Downs, the second-biggest stunner in Derby history. The margin was the largest since Assault won by eight lengths in 1946.

Now if we could just get something out of congress that resembles some realm of common sense, which seems to some to be an even more precious commodity than gold these days. How do these guys get elected?

The United States of America faces the worst economy since the Great Depression. It is fighting terrorists in two nations. It is fighting an emerging epidemic at home. The government is mired in debt to other nations and is unlikely to be able to meet its commitments to its own citizens.

And what did a congressional committee spend time debating last week?

College football and the Bowl Championship Series.

Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, wants Congress to prohibit the NCAA from referring to any game as a "national championship" unless that game is the culmination of a playoff system.

Barton says the current BCS is so broken, it can't be fixed. He said it's as unworkable as communism.

It would be nice to have a football playoff tournament we all love to cheer for the underdogs of the game but in the end its just a game. Its not like the future of our national economy or the human existance hangs in the balance. As for impact on the economy it looks like the "Woman of Wall Street" Have a better stimulus plan. At least their plan seems to be working. The High Octane Playboy “Women Of Wall Street” Stimulus Plan Creates Heat Wave « The Psychic News Network

Though some of those fires may seem rather suspicious the markets are a long way up from where they were. My good friend Doctor Buzzard is still recovering from heat stroke generated by his most recent rocket ride on a monster move by a good little Penny “Triad Guaranty Inc” (ticker TGIC). But wishes to thank the “Women of Wall Street” for their generous contribution to a worthy of cause helping to salvage the American and Global economy. Legends are not made when the sunlight shines gently upon our shoulders. But rather in the depths of our dark nightmare when bloods runs cold in the streets… Spacial thanks Georgia Anderson, Tina Smith, Tara DeGergorio and all the Women from Wall Street Playboy May 2009 Issue, let history record.
