Sad but not surprising. I have noticed lately that media fringe elements
(network TV news and tabloid newspapers) have taken to collecting tweets, and
presenting such collection as part of their journalistic endeavor, which is
truly lazy and rather disinteresting. Every time I post using 250 words to
accomplish what may have been accomplished with 60 words, I'm "sticking it"
to the tweeters.

Casino Downs knows that they will get no real objection from horseplayers
and probably will continue to increase the take incrementally until the HANA
types hit them where they will feel it. CD's world consists of a huge
historic building which hosts 3 significant racing days per year, another
historic track which they are neglecting, some other tracks which they would
love to sell if buyers were available, some casinos and some slots. They
are a publicly held company doing what a publicly held company is supposed to
do.
