I have heard a story that Secretariat’s heart size was inherited from his mother and there was a line through the females of big hearts. His was the biggest. Sham, who finished second in the Derby and still broke the record, had a heart that weighted 19 pounds at autopsy.
“The Little Mermaid” has been released as a remake.
University Pediatric Surgery Centers are gearing up to offer bilateral leg amputations with subsequent fin implants to young girls who identify as mermaids.
Sailors rejoice.
West TX Intermediate Crude,
Funny! But all too accurate.
How timely. I just watched the movie last week. Wonderful animal.
There was a fellow freshman on my High School track team who was doing quite well in the mile for a 14 year old. Nice guy. His times were good enough that he was soon running in Varsity events. That wasn’t completely out of the ordinary, but what was noteworthy about this young man was he didn’t have the build of a miler. He was probably around 6 foot and had some unneeded fat. He wasn’t rail thin like most successful milers. He also didn’t have a very aggressive attitude. He ran exceptional times but it didn’t seem like he was pushing himself.
The next year he was not on the team.
I ran into him in the hallway one day and asked him why he hadn’t come out for track Sophomore year. Turns out he had a circulatory condition that made his body extremely good at getting oxygenated blood to his muscles, but the rest of his body was not able to handle this. (My assumption is it was similar to Secretariat. Large heart, but maybe his veins, arteries and capillaries weren’t similarly large?) His doctor had told him if he continued to race he might die.
“This is a moment like when the J. Edgar Hoover FBI clearly was no longer helping the American people,” Todd said during the roundtable discussion. “It seems like we have to do something to restore trust.”
…
“Trust in the FBI is eroding left and right. Feels like we’re in a moment that we need a real Church Committee, that this is a moment like when the J. Edgar Hoover FBI clearly was no longer helping the American people, there was a moment,” Todd said. “This feels like we might be in one of those moments.”

So did I, then went to youtube to watch actual races. 31 lengths over Sham at Belmont was amazing, announcer going crazy! Set the record time that still stands over fifty years later.
The Little Mermaid just seems to be continuing a trend. Seems like ginger appropriation to me.
Secretariat:
Dear Neo you are doing a great job of continuing in the tradition that you and Gerard created– including the beauty of this life frequently. Thank you.
Without unrestricted immigration, nations like the United States cannot survive unless women have about 2.1 children each (the .1 reflects women who do not have children). The bad news is that the U.S. is falling short in reproducing itself. Occasional exceptions such as the Baby Boom aside, U.S. fertility rates have dropped over the last two centuries and show no sign of rising to the 2.1 replacement level. We are currently at 1.6.
The baby shortfall has huge consequences beyond potentially filling the nation with immigrants. An aging population brings higher healthcare costs, budgets devoured by pensions, shrinking tax bases, labor…
its WAY too late now
welcome to democide extermination due to lack of belief!!!!
Women are hitting the wall (HARD), and men are completely not interested in dating compared to the past!!! (Who knew MGTOW that started at ManCoat with all of us would catch on)
not to mention, with body counts of 100 or so men by the time they are 25, and OF and all that… “who wants to drink from a dirty glass!”
warned ya’ll ten years ago when something could be done at least..
or slowed down…
and remember. those same guys dont have anything to fight for
Oh and dont forget to watch Cabaret!
and see all the similarities they brought to us!!
the men in drag, and the other stuff
including the government chaning books, songs, etc..
you cant find anything any more, unless its the center of the bell curve
ie. your blocked from the only sources of the memory hole records
even the website recording all this is going away
It is astounding that that record still stands. Actually, it’s astounding that it set the record in the first place. It’s not like he was under the whip! He would have been “coasting” the last 200 yards or so.
Koufax, Baylor, Brown (RIP), Musial…these marvelous athlete-heroes of my boyhood were, alas, destined to cede the pinnacle of my sporting pantheon to this racehorse.
I always get a lump in my throat when I watch that clip of the Belmont Stakes.
His heart was so big it should have blown up on the track, but it didn’t. Thus, Secretariat was and is a transcendent horse. For people my age, he is the only public figure who never let us down.
Following a post by John Hinderaker over on Power Line, I put the following question to Google’s AI, “Bard:” ‘Is the blog, “The New Neo,” a good news source?’ The answer was not much more accurate than the one Hinderaker got:
***
The New Neo is a blog that covers a variety of topics, including politics, economics, and culture. The blog is written by a team of journalists and analysts, and it is known for its in-depth analysis and thought-provoking commentary.
However, The New Neo is not without its critics. Some people argue that the blog is too biased, and that it does not present a balanced view of the issues. Others argue that the blog is too academic, and that it is not accessible to a general audience.
Overall, The New Neo is a well-respected blog that provides in-depth analysis and thought-provoking commentary on a variety of topics. However, it is important to be aware of the blog’s biases and limitations before reading it.
Here are some of the pros and cons of The New Neo:
Pros:
– In-depth analysis and thought-provoking commentary
– Well-respected by journalists and academics
– Covers a wide range of topics
Cons:
– Can be biased
– Not accessible to a general audience
– Can be dry and academic
Ultimately, whether or not The New Neo is a good news source depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for in-depth analysis and thought-provoking commentary, then The New Neo is a good option. However, if you are looking for a more balanced and accessible news source, then you may want to look elsewhere.

A “ team of journalists and analysts?!” Not accessible?! Dry and academic?! (Perhaps the analysis of Bee Gees lyrics is too deep for Bard?)
Mark Steyn wrote, “America Alone” in 2006, 7 years ahead of when you warned us, and sold hundreds of thousands of copies. If only we’d have listened to him. 😉
“… the United States cannot survive unless women have about 2.1 children each (the .1 reflects women who do not have children).”
I don’t think it’s 2.1 each, I think it’s an average of 2.1 per adult woman. Some women don’t have any, some have 5… And I always thought the reason the average had to be above 2 was to account for the unfortunate children who are born but do not reach maturity.
Steve Prefontaine, the epic 70s American distance runner, didn’t fit the thin tallish image either. He was on the short side and with a barrel chest.
However, within that chest was a cardio-respiratory system which could consume oxygen (V02 Max) at one of the highest rates measured in his time.
When Pre died at the ridiculous age of 24, he held all the American track records at distances from 2,000 to 10,000 meters.
Maybe his VO2 Max explains it.
However, Pre isn’t a legend for his speed, but his indomitable commitment to train hard and run even harder every time no matter what.
His loss to Lasse Viren in the 1972 Olympics is about the toughest athletic contest I’ve watched. Pre was outclassed but the heart he put into it!
To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift.

Well said indeed, and horrible. I’ve long been a fan of Mark Steyn, and while he has been wrong on some things he has mostly been a prophet. And if anything he has often been too optimistic.
I remember reading America Alone around the time it was released. But what’s really depressing is he made a sequel, and a truly nightmarish, even more dour one, After America. Which does not bode well.
huxley,
Just watched that 5,000. Wow! The guts Prefontaine showed to take over that field so early in the race at his, young age and he tried to kill the other guys in the second to last straightaway. The first three finishers (especially the first two) ran a smarter race than he did, but he demonstrated incredible boldness!
Rufus T. Firefly:
I thought you might like that Viren-Pre duel! I couldn’t believe his comeback in that second to last straightaway.
Alas not enough. It was clear Pre had nothing left in the tank in those last meters.
According to wiki, Viren was careful to run the curves on the inner edge, while Pre was less so and therefore:

Steve Prefontaine gave Virén an advantage of more than forty meters over 5,000 m in 1972,

As much as I love Pre, there’s no getting around that Viren was a great distance runner.

Oddly Chuck Todd doesn’t seem to be willing to carry the FBI’s water… for now anyway. He was careful to frame it as a need to “restore trust” of the American people, fretting that a majority of Americans seemed to no longer have trust in the FBI.
