I’ll Have Another: Kentucky Derby Winner

I’ll Have Another won the Kentucky Derby just now. It’s an appropriate name for a horse to win this race too, especially when you think about what network this horse race is on. That’s right, this race is being broadcast on NBC, where they have spent much of their time in the news editorializing this past year propagandizing for President Obama’s re-election with the whole class warfare bashing of the 1%, and so it’s especially ironic that they would spend a whole day celebrating and hob-nobbing with the 1%ers after bashing them constantly on the news for being so evil for a whole year! How odd, indeed! Oh, but this horse’s name is perfect for pointing out this over-indulgence narrative against the 1%, isn’t it? Its name is: “I’ll Have Another” (!). Well, of course you will: you 1%ers are fabulously wealthy, so you can easily afford to have another of whatever you’d like, while the rest of us have to beg and steal and fantasize about having another! Oh, the shame of the inequality of it all!

Shame on NBC for kissing the filthy moneyed butts of the gentry in this shameless exhibition of sycophantery! Why, I oughta… (Actually, this is just a joke. Obviously all professional athletes are part of the 1%, being multi-millionaires all! And likewise, the newscasters who propagate this class envy propaganda are hypocrites galore, being some of the most highly-paid people in the whole world! But rich people are all evil, except for them, and it’s fair for them to be so ridiculously filthy wealthy because they earn all of that money bashing other rich people, so of course, they’ve fairly earned their $40 Million-per-year salaries! And of course, President Obama is also a 1%er, and he doesn’t voluntarily pay more in taxes than he’s required to, in order to provide a good example of proper behavior, despite traipsing all around the country filling everyone full of hatred for every successful person in America, excepting of course perhaps himself and other liberal politicians, as well as all mega-rich news reporters who support his re-election: they are justifiably über-wealthy! It’s just everyone else who is evil for being successful! {It seems kind-of hypocritical to me, but I’m not super-rich, so I probably don’t understand all of the moral-relativist complexities and intricacies of these issues, and I’m sure I won’t until I am a mega-rich 1%er who got that way by bashing everyone else as an evil capitalist.})

Hey, this was supposed to be about horse racing! How did all of this hypocrisy-bashing political commentary get in here? Damn you, all you hacker nerd 1%ers! Stop adding Richie Rich propaganda into my writing! (You could, however, bribe me to do it! I’m not above taking a few million dollars or so under the table to write it myself, you know…)
