Shoulda waited 'till 9/11 to post this, but out of respect for those that lost loved ones that day*, I'll jump the gun.How many blocks must a mosque be from Ground Zero? I dunno. Don't really see any reason why one would have to be a certain distance away. But honestly, I don't really care, either. I'm more interested in tomorrow's card. If I were Muslim, I'd probably ask those that say "2.5 blocks is not far enough", just how far away a mosque need be.
More interesting is the question: how much is too much a class drop?
Perhaps 100k to 3200 is too much. At least it is for those leaving comments on Ray Paulick's blog. That Delta Storm dropped from running for a tag of $100k to $3200 is a non-story turned into a story by Mr. Paulick, and I love him for it. It's what Fox News does, what Drudge does, and what this space has tried to do many times with far less success than those other outfits.
When Steve Miyadi, the trainer that entered the perfectly sound Delta Storm for $3200 at Stockton, mentioned he would be doing so I remember thinking what a huge fucking pussy he'd become for even considering that it might be worthing noting. It seemed a rather boring item to bring up....something akin to a mosque being built two and a half blocks from the World Trade Center.
*Including loved ones of the dozens of innocent Muslims that died in the horrific attack, as well as any horseman that dropped a horse in class.
