Text of the page (random words):
rom the purse supplements said mystique ceo jesus aviles i think it was a win win hey come on there mr aviles that s a little harsh don t you think sure it was a win for you to dump that cash sucking part of your business but we d hardly call it a win for the overlords we mean 36k they probably got more than that from you before lunch back in the day don t you think i can tell you that the efficiencies we have gained through the elimination of greyhound racing have helped us keep our employees and avoid taking any austerity measures aviles said whoa hang on there mr aviles please don t use the words elimination and greyhound racing in the same sentence at least not when the overlords can hear you right bunko i am a very gentle and calm boy i bark at my reflection when i see it in the window because i am so silly i don t realize it s just me my foster parents think it s funny and cute i love to get attention i am a little shy at first but not overly so and i get over it quickly i am housebroken i know how to go up and down the stairs i get along great with dogs my own size i have not seen any small dogs or cats yet my foster mom is taking me to meet her friend s kitties this week to see how i do so i will keep everybody posted for more information about this dog and other rescued racing greyhounds looking for homes go here if you don t know about the plight of racing greyhounds go here and here posted by ironicus maximus at 1 51 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels greyhounds friday october 23 2015 friday hound blogging we re coming to you today from the echolalia department here in the marbled halls of im central the echolalia department is a division of the where have we heard this before corporation a wholly owned subsidy of talk to the hand llc this week we re continuing our theme of overlords serving up word salads about why they shouldn t have to join the workforce so let s visit west virginia the state with the highest mean altitude east of the mississippi yeah that makes sense lack of oxygen would certainly explain this a number of greyhound owners and breeders monday urged legislators to continue greyhound racing in the state disputing a state funded study that found the industry is in sharp decline and survives in west virginia only because purse funds are 95 percent subsidized from casino profits ok now we re not business experts or anything but it seems to us that if you have to have someone else give you 95 of what it takes to keep your business afloat well you you don t have a business you have charity case in a system that has made the state a tremendous amount of money over the years and still employs a lot of employees i don t think you crumple it up and throw it away steve sarras a wheeling greyhound kennel owner and president of the state kennel owners association told members of the joint committee on finance we would agree with that sure casino revenue fell by 140 million last year but they still pumped almost 50 million to the state so it s oh wait you were talking about greyhound racing weren t you ok um this is a little embarrassing see your business actually draws money away from the state because the casinos are forced to support you instead of making those funds open to state taxes sorry to be the ones to tell you this guy but you are actually a drain on the economy don t take it too hard though we re sure you didn t intend to spend your life leeching off other people that s just the way it worked out the state s making money on it the tracks are making money on it greyhound breeder patrick mcmillon told legislators to have a report out saying we re done i see a lot of discrepancies in it oh we re with you there overlord mcmillon we see discrepancies too like the discrepancy between what you are saying and the fact that the subsidy required to continue placing helpless greyhound at risk of injury and death in the heartless pursuit of no profit has gone from 49 of the purse to 95 of the purse it s not the state that s making money here mr mcmillon it s you because of the free ride you are getting on all that casino cash right adam steinberg senior vice president for spectrum gaming group in the 2013 14 budget year greyhound racing provided 1 2 million of revenue to the state while it cost the state racing commission 965 000 to supervise those races steinberg said this year the cost to regulate will exceed the revenue to the state ok let s recap the barbaric commodification of innocent living creatures brought the state 235 000 and next year will actually cost the state money while the casinos even on a down year chipped in 50 million you know mr mcmillon you re right there is a pretty big discrepancy there sarras countered that critics of greyhound racing misuse the word subsidy to create the impression that tax dollars are supporting the industry subsidy s a word you can throw around in the media if you want to get people upset about dog racing he said hmmm perhaps you have a point mr sarras freeloading off the state is certainly going to be viewed in a less favorable light than freeloading off the casinos well unless you happen to own a casino then it s pretty much tomato tomahto sarras said he believes greyhound racing benefits the wheeling and nitro casinos allowing them to stand apart from the two dozen casinos in ohio pennsylvania and maryland and said he believes they would suffer as freestanding casinos hard to argue with that mr sarras we mean in ohio and pennsylvania all you can do is go to a casino whereas in west virginia you can go to a casino with a greyhound track attached that everyone is ignoring ok that didn t come out right you got a better way to say that brody my foster mom says i am a perfect dog i am very well mannered i am calm gentle and friendly i will approach you for petting i love to go for walks and i walk great on the leash i am housebroken i have met dogs my size small dogs and even some kitties i get along with all of them except for small white ones i guess they remind me too much of my racing days and the electronic bunny i had a big outing at the recent pet expo i met all kinds of people and i loved them all so much for more information about this dog and other rescued racing greyhounds looking for homes go here if you don t know about the plight of racing greyhounds go here and here posted by ironicus maximus at 12 58 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels greyhounds friday october 16 2015 friday hound blogging frequent reader s of this blog know that the true measure of success is how quickly expectations are lowered to match circumstance erm we mean know that on occasion we like to treat you to the pensive musings of a particular overlord on the benefits of placing innocent living creatures at risk of meaningless injury and death in the pursuit of no profit in that regard we would like to introduce you to jack corey who is the chief and only lobbyist for overlords in florida because he was the only one who would work for shiny objects mr corey has recently had his medication re balanced and is here today to share some of what the voices in his head have been telling him about why the heartless cruelty helpless greyhounds are subjected to on a regular basis is really a good thing take it away overlord corey florida was the first state to officially sanction greyhound racing in 1931 and for almost 85 years it s been an enjoyable source of entertainment for floridians as well as visitors to our state now some of you who are less informed might have thought people went to florida for the almost 2000 miles of coastline or the beaches or the temperate climate nope all around the other states people would often ask where can we go when we want to see hapless greyhounds get injured and killed while we re losing the rent money oh we know florida it s right there in the travel brochures just as important greyhound racing track owners have made billions in revenue and made a big contribution to florida s economy over the years wow billions boy we bet if you presented that in graphic format it would really be impressive wonder what that would look like ok so maybe not greyhound tracks and other pari mutuel facilities enjoy a state created monopoly meaning they aren t forced to compete in the open marketplace tracks not only are protected from competition they have received hundreds of millions of dollars in tax benefits well by the looks of that graph they need all the help they can get but here are our questions if they re doing that poorly with protection from competition what s the point of protection and who is being protected the overlords from the job market when attendance at greyhound tracks began to dip some years ago the florida legislature gave track owners the right to offer card rooms to increase revenue florida voters later allowed facilities in miami dade and broward counties to add slot machines right we get that greyhound racing was in the tank so the state let the tracks open a new business rather than fold those enhancements were added only because of the track owners continued commitment to their underlying business greyhound racing ok so you re saying in order to show their commitment to greyhound racing they created a whole new arena for gambling in the clubhouse away from the track that no one was coming to anyway we don t think commitment means what you think it means despite the promise to keep racing many track owners now want the legislature to allow them to get rid of greyhound racing while keeping the card rooms and slot machines they want to create small casinos that will dot florida s landscape from pensacola to miami and everywhere in between that s despite the state s constitutionally mandated prohibition of casino gaming with the exception of indian gaming controlled by the federal government umm maybe you haven t noticed but they already have the card rooms and slot machines so create has kind of already happened know what we mean the florida greyhound association an organization of owners trainers and breeders across the state opposes such efforts clearly those small business owners would be put out of business if millionaire track owners are allowed to end greyhound racing simply because casino gaming is the next pot of big money oooo injecting a little class warfare in there those evil millionaires against the poor yeoman small business persons elitist scum care only about making money at their tracks as opposed to the owners trainers and breeders who are in it for the love of the sport and of the dogs you can tell the depth of this love by the number of tracks that have opened in states that have banned betting on live racing many of our members are multigeneration owners trainers and breeders they love their greyhounds and love racing apparently you never met ronnie williams or ursula o donnell or james barney o donnell or lance lafreniere or nancy guimond or well let s just say you need to get out more mr corey asking the legislature to end greyhound racing or as it s called in tallahassee decoupling is wrong for several reasons first it gives floridians no voice in deciding whether they want to convert pari mutuel facilities into mini casinos well like we said mr corey that s already happened and as for giving the voters a voice it sounds like they ve already spoken gross receipts at cardrooms across the state rose from 2 8 million in 2001 02 to 125 million 2010 11 the state s 10 percent tax has risen right along with it meanwhile the amount wagered on horses dogs and jai alai has seen a steady decline from 1 7 billion in 2001 02 to 883 million 2010 11 have you had your hearing tested recently just asking secondly track owners have been allowed to increase their profits with other gaming with greyhound racing serving as their core operation ok now we re beginning to think you just aren t paying attention mr corey core operation dude track owners are running away from racing faster than a republican runs from a fact checker logically then if there is no greyhound racing why should these facilities be allowed to operate oh oh we know we know because they are in business to make money and honey ain t no money in racin dogs word up if track owners can t succeed at greyhound racing with a guarantee of a no competition monopoly they should simply surrender their pari mutuel license to the state and give someone else the opportunity to make it a success careful what you ask for there mr corey we re thinking there s more than a few track owners that would be more than happy to drop dog racing in someone else s lap and get on with the parts of their operation that can turn a profit greyhound racing remains a viable form of entertainment in florida aww mr corey you re so cute when your delusional the sanford orlando kennel club proves that point with no other type of gaming sanford orlando kennel club uses innovative marketing to make greyhound racing as popular as ever in central florida a s popular as ever in central florida which is to say not very popular at all unless you count the homeless people who come into the clubhouse to get out of the rain it s a model for the rest of the country it just takes a desire to make greyhound racing work and not undercut its success in order to convert tracks to casinos darn straight mr corey all it takes is a desire and commitment to make greyhound racing successful just ask the folks in iowa right noir noir is a three year old female she will need a home without cats or small dog for more information about this dog and other

hassle you know much easier to stay home and hope the neighbor forgets to take returnables out of his trash again occasionally though we do hear from an overlord usually to explain to us that the reason we have trouble seeing what is plainly a fact is because we have our craniums fully inserted in our rectums this is sometimes followed by a personal testimonial concerning how that particular overlord goes above and beyond in the care of his or her canine charges and if we truly cared about the dogs instead of being bought off by the obscene amounts of cash we collect for being mouthpieces
