Get well, Barbaro

My prayers go out to Barbaro, the winner of the Kentucky Derby, who fractured his leg in today's Preakness Stakes. The injury is considered life-threatening and will definitely end Barbaro's spectacular racing career (he was undefeated before the Preakness). The winner of the Preakness was Bernardini., and Sweetnorthernsaint came in second.

Another unfortunate event is that, so far, Ray Nagin, who once said that he wanted New Orleans to be a "chocolate city," is leading in the city's mayoral election. The voting took place today, but the votes have not all been counted yet.
