I don’t give a shit what you are doing right now, but you better stop and listen. Whether you are performing brain-surgery, single-handedly fixing global warming, piloting the space-shuttle or artificially inseminating a panda, stop and listen to this: Barbaro’s second full brother was born! I know, take a minute, let it sink in. Digest that headline and pick up the chair that you just fell out of in response to that groundbreaking news.

In case you were wondering, I didn’t have to dig for this information. I found this story on the front page of CNNSI.com. There is a group of decision makers that believe that you need to know if Barbaro’s mother, La Ville Rouge, which translated from French means: “Skank Whore”, has another baby. That group of decision makers is not from the 4-H Club or the National Horse Association, they are from goddamn CNN. Nice journalism Wolf Blitzer, get your act together.

If I see one story, and it will only take one, saying something sappy like, “In death, life springs anew”, in reference to Barbaro’s death and his brother’s birth, I might spontaneously combust. I can’t stress this fact enough, “This is a goddamn horse.” The only people that care about this horse, or this family are the women in large floppy hats that populate the stands at the Kentucky Derby and the wonderful people at Elmer’s glue. This demographic makes up about 128 people, 80 percent of which are interested in putting this new colt “to use” in making a model airplane. Most importantly, I want the news covered consistently, meaning that next time Rin-Tin-Tin has a brother, I want that shit on the front page of the New York Times.
