Its not just a matter of $$$, its also a matter of maintance. If they kept it open, there would be zero time to fix the tracks since it opens at 5 am. Since it was discovered WMATA was not doing basic repairs and letting stations catch on fire, this has become a hot topic.

Minor nit pick...WMATA stands for Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, not Association. But others have stated WMATA stands for When Might A Train Arrive?, We Manage Always To Annoy, and Washington Makes Alternative Transportation Arrangements.

...except horse racing. The Interstate Horseracing Act allows money to cross state lines from one state where paramutal betting is allowed to another state where it is allowed. In other words, I can go on to TVG.com or DRFbets.com or whoever from a computer/mobile device in Virginia and place a bet on a race in…

For horsemen at race tracks its like this...

1000% agree.l thought the first one was as about as stupid a premise as 2nd grade boys running around claiming they are “everything proof.”

A rake? That was chosen weapon against Satan? THIS IS TEXAS DAMMIT!!! Where are the AR-15s and .50 rifles? WHERES CHUCK NORRIS????

I work for the Navy and have unintentionally started an inter office argument on whether or not the Winnipeg logo is an F/A-18 (USN version) or a CF-18 (Canadian Air Force version) and whether or not the Jets “stole” an American icon. *sigh*

This the only shit the F-35 puts out...

I got a horse racing partnership....similar results :0

Should of used an AR-15....wimp....

Take my hand Barry

Lets check in with a random Caps fan in....Finland???

I can’t I get the number of the Penguins guy who threw/mishandled his stick that went flying at the goalie’s head (#58?). But that seems to have distracted the goalie just for a critical second.

What award does he get for use of the English language?

...except the favorite has won the last six. Getting jammed at the gate is part of the game, wether its 20 horses or 8. Mike Smith was smart enough to gun Justify and the European jockey riding Mindelson was not. Installed Regard also got jammed and somehow managed to finish 4th at 85-1.

I would say “No broken bone, no foul” but I think the refs have lowered the bar further down.

Thinking back to Alomar vs. Hirshbeck incident of 1996, why is spitting a major sports crime?

I think I speak for all Caps fans...

Heee..heee..heee...

Kentucky Derby is coming up, how dare you not sample mint julips. Here I have posted one for you:
