Jon Stewart, who I usually like, apparently made a comment about watching the "sad" carriage horses leaving the stables (they're near his studio) and it made me really think about the total disconnect between people and working animals. I'm no horse expert, but I've spent enough time around them (and around the carriage horses; I used to work near the park) to understand that a lowered head, ears at half mast and a slow pace are not signs of a "sad" horse; they're signs of a relaxed horse. Le sigh.

"Mayor, this is someone that knows what you are up to"-Liam on phone in Taken voice
"Who is this?? Is this Al Roker again?"-DeBlasio angrily "Listen carefully communist mayor as I am only going to say this once. Leave the horses alone" "You can't tell me what to do! I'm the fukin mayor of New York!! We do want we want!" "Shut up idiot! This is what is going to happen, you are going to leave the horses alone or I am going to take the fork and knife that your pansy ass eats pizza with and jam them into your eyes" "Uh ok, I will leave the horses alone. I have enough fun making public school children go to school in blizzards and closing charter schools that actually teach kids something. Hey you dont need an SNAP card do you? I can have your neighborhood roads cleared 1st next time it snows...even if it is on the upper east side. If you get arrested I can make some calls for you. Hello? Are you still there...."
