When you live out here in La-La Land, the easiest way to insult an Eastern-European ethnic-looking person is to call them a Turk. They will either want to stab you in the throat or, if they have been accustomed to the American style of humor for enough years, laugh like crazy.
The Turks are a warring people. They tried to wipe out a lot of their enemies and not say sorry for any of it. Just ask all our Armenian Bros. from Yerevan and Glendale (the one in California; Arizona doesn’t count).
Yet with the signing of half-Turk Mesut Özil and the continued OK work of Dr. Mehmet Ozymandias on a television near you, perhaps the people associated with the murderous Ottoman Empire and the Turkic Church are starting to rehabilitate.
We must now root for the Arsenal Football Club’s latest signing, ladies and gentlemen, Mesut Özil…Özil!

Race 10: #8 Bird of Honor
Bonkers Box (Race 10): #8 Bird of Honor – #2 Masteringthestorm – #1 Maybry’s Gold – #10 Sauce Cat – #3 Smiling Place
N.B. This could be the worst race in the history of Thoroughbred racing, right here; how is it possible that NOT A SINGLE HORSEY could score above LifeLiner Speed Column 68 (68!) in this race! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE. Thank goodness The Darley Arabian, the The Godolphin Arabian and, yes, of course, THE Byerley TURK did not live to see this race. A disgrace to the breed.
