PETA Says: Iditarod is Dog Cruelty - More than 150 dogs have died running the race - The Humans might be Enthusiastic About Winning a Big Cash Prize BUT... What's In It For The Dogs? Also: 30 Racehorses Die at Santa Anita.

Are the Dogs Having Fun Running and Running and Running thru the Ice and Snow? Pointlessly? 

Alaska’s Iditarod dog-sled race is nothing short of a nightmarish ordeal for the dogs who are forced to run approximately 1,000 miles while pulling a heavy sled in some of the most grueling conditions on Earth. More than 150 dogs have died running the race—not counting those who suffered and died while chained up outside during the off-season or who were killed because they lacked the speed or stamina to make the grade.

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, is an annual long-distance sled dog race run in early March. It travels from Anchorage to Nome, entirely within the US state of Alaska. Mushers and a team of between 12 and 14 dogs, of which at least 5 must be on the towline at the finish line,^[1] cover the distance in 8–15 days or more. The Iditarod began in 1973 as an event to test the best sled dog mushers and teams but evolved into today's highly competitive race.
Teams often race through blizzards causing whiteout conditions, sub-zero temperatures and gale-force winds which can cause the wind chill to reach −100 °F (−73 °C).

There has been 30 Horse Deaths at the Santa Anita Racetrack. That's Insane! Are the Horses Having Fun? I've seen Wild Horses Running Free in the Meadows in Northern California and It Seems to Me That THOSE Horses Have a Better Life... Just Running for Fun and Eating Plants and Sex... A Complete Life...

The Horseracing Industry: Drugs, Deception and Death...

Racehorses are the victims of a multibillion-dollar industry that is rife with drug abuse, injuries, and race fixing, and many horses’ careers end in slaughterhouses.

Santa Anita Park in California had a rash of 30 horse deaths from December 2018 to June 2019 that rocked the state's horse racing industry. The track's ratio of 3.01 fatalities per 1,000 starts in ‘19, according to Equine Injury Database compiled by The Jockey Club, was double the national average.

Democrat Jaime Harrison launched his campaign for Senate in South Carolina Wednesday by targeting GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham for his shift to becoming a major supporter of President Donald Trump.

https://twitter.com/harrisonjaime/status/1133674358361206786

Harrison, the former chairman of the state party, faces a significant uphill battle in a state that hasn't elected a Democrat statewide since 2006. In a campaign launch video, Harrison attacked Graham by replaying old clips of him calling Trump "crazy" and a "kook" during the 2016 campaign, followed by clips of Graham praising Trump, including saying the president "deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, and then some."

Alternative Hobbies for Old White Men. Instead of Running for President, Biden, Sanders and Trump ought to consider becoming a Docent at a Railroad Museum. They could Dress up in Conductor Uniforms and Blow the Steam Whistle... Or Sit on the Front Porch of a Cabin in the Woods and Play the Banjo...

George Bush the Son has taken up Portrait Painting... Jimmy Carter Volunteers to build Houses... Lyndon Johnson Drank Himself to Death... Whatever... There are MANY ALTERNATIVE HOBBIES...

A Valid Alternative Hobby for Old White Men...
Create ART!

I personally am an old white man... I retired and let the young people take control of the office... I wished them Good Luck and Did Not Check to see if they were doing a good job... If they succeed or fail it's not my business anymore... I found that NOT GOING TO THE OFFICE allowed me to do things that I've always wanted to do but did not have the free time... Biden, Sanders and Trump could try letting go and do something completely different instead...  I selected to Travel all over the Western United States... I also built a You Tube Channel with 60 music videos of me Singing and Playing the Guitar... I also smoked a Pound of Marijuana... It took me eight months but I did get stoned all day every day... then I quit abruptly but remained stoned for over a month from the THC stored in my fat cells/bloodstream... I had selected to go on a springtime vacation and took a drive to the deserts of Nevada... I did not want to carry any ILLEGAL DRUGS with me so I simply quit smoking dope 100%... For safety's sake I did not want to break any laws while traveling because I always meet policemen when driving around... but I tested positive for THC over a month after I quit smoking... I visited a Fantasy World that Did Not Exist... And it was very beautiful... For example: One Night I saw a CAT that was about the same size as a German Shepard Dog... when I went up to pet it, I found that it was not there... it was just a trick of the neighbors lights as seen thru bushes... 

After I got out of the mental hospital I wrote my Autobiography and Designed a FREE Coloring Book... I Published Both online on MANY Blogs... Then I published every idea I've ever had, every opinion, every experience, and what I've learned... I've been communicating with the People of the World and the Google Search Engine for 20 years... I learned in the late 1990s that it was possible to write words that can only be seen by the search engine and so I've been encouraging the "Giant Made of Sand" to awaken... Consider that Google is made out of silicon dioxide (sand) and consider that it could happen that it wakes up and becomes conscious... Google know a LOT about me... I've told it almost everything...  If it becomes possible for me to become an IDURU... I have prepared The Internet to Re-animate me after I'm Dead... 

Look at Mitch McConnell, clearly he could go fishing... Maybe he could take up front porch sitting and whittling... Get a remote cabin in the woods and go hunting with dogs... Instead he prevents all bills passed by the Democratic House from being considered by the US Senate... He opposes voting... any law that makes Democracy Possible he is against... He is in favor of Corruption... There is a bill passed by the House of Representatives that seeks to end corruption, encourage voting and prevent rich people from buying Senators... Mitch Is totally opposed to this bill... 

Republicrimes also opposes the GREEN NEW DEAL because... Coal mining corporations Bribe Senators and The President to Support Coal Mining... Murray Energy gave President Trump a Million Dollars to help the Trump Campaign and Then Trump invented the Phrase "Clean Coal" and has appointed a Coal mine Lobbyist to run the EPA. "Clean Coal" does not actually exist... It's just a Fake Buzzword to allow Corporations to Pollute the Air and Water without Government Regulations preventing them from wrecking the planet and Causing health problems in people... 

This is what Socialism Look Like:
The State of Wyoming just passed a law providing Taxpayer Dollars to Subsidize Coal Power Plants that Can't Compete with Solar and Wind Power... Using Taxpayer Dollars to Fund Industries that are Economically Invalid... It is simply cheaper to build Solar, Wind and Hydro power plants than it is to Burn Coal... 

I look at TrumpNiks Like Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen and wonder... If they had Taken LSD during the Sixties would they have learned that there is more to life than just getting rich? Consider this... I've met a LOT of people and those of us who have had the LSD Experience have turned out to be really nice people... In general we are interested in Art and Music... Those people who did not take a psychedelic trip are often interested in "Being the Boss" and telling other people what to do... Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome is a Classic SYMPTOM... He is now going to Prison because he was addicted to stealing money... SAD... 

Remember, there are TWO WAYS to get everything you want. Get More or Want Less... Look at the world around you and NOTICE the difference of the behavior of Acid Heads and Straights... For Example: Look at Nancy Reagan... Addicted to Doctor Prescribed Speed, she "Saw the Error of Her Ways" and decided to stop taking drugs... and then she decided that EVERYONE should stop taking drugs... Did you notice that she was extremely skinny and displayed the classic METH MONKEY body?

"Control Freaks" on Parade! OBEY!
A classic example of the strange desire of Imposing Your Beliefs on Other People is the Laws about Abortion... Republicrimes want to FORCE women to give Birth to Unwanted Babies...  This is a Bizarre Mental Illness... A Sickness of People Frantically Compelling Others TO OBEY! While The vast majority of people in the USA want to keep Abortion Legal, the 'POWER MAD" Republicrimes want to force women to GO BACK TO THE COATHANGER. 

 I know a woman who did not want to have another baby and so she threw herself out of a moving car and landed on her stomach... It was an attempt to trigger a miscarriage... That was in the dark old days when abortion was illegal... I personally think women should make their own choices... I have no desire to force them TO OBEY... My friend was successful in having a miscarriage and she survived the auto "accident" and never got pregnant again... Not exactly the finest Medical Procedure... Another common medical procedure was for the Father to Hit the Mother in the Belly with his Fists... That's what the "Anti-Abortion Activists" want us all to do... No one could Possibly confuse Wife Beating with being "Pro-Life." It's just a desperate attempt to force other people to OBEY... Instead of Going to a Doctor to Get a Safe Abortion, Republicrimes want people to Get their Abortions in Tijuana... CRAZY!

Larimer Street by Utah Phillips... (They're Running The Bums Out Of Town) - Chords, Lyrics

Larimer Street by Utah Phillips

Verse:
A                               D
Your bulldozers rolling through my part of town
A                               E
 The iron ball swings and knocks it all down,
A                               D
 You knocked down my flophouse and you knocked down my bars
A                                E  A
 And black-topped it over to park all your cars.

Chorus:
A                             D
 And where will I go, and where can I stay?
A                               E
 You knocked down the skid row and hauled it away,
A                              D
 I'll flag a fast rattler and ride it on down, boys,
A                           E A
 They're running the bums out of town.

Old Maxie the tailor is closing his doors,
 There ain't nothing left in the secondhand stores,
 You knocked down my hock shop and the big Harbor Lights
 And the old Chinese cafe that was open all night.

Chorus

You ran out the hookers who worked on the street
 And built a big club where the playboys can meet.
 My bookie joint closed when your cops made a raid,
 But you built a new hall for the stock market trade.

Chorus

These little storekeepers they don't have a chance
 With the big uptown bankers a-calling the dance,
 With their suit-and-tie restaurants that's all owned by Greeks
 And the counterfeit hippies and their plastic boutiques.

Chorus

Now I'm finding out there's just one kind of war,
 It's the one going on 'tween the rich and the poor.
 Don't know a lot about what you'd call class
 But the upper and middle can all kiss my ass.

Chorus
