Cindy Lee Miller Sheehan just handed in her resignation letter as the “face of the American anti-Iraq war movement” to return to her home in California to resume her true passion betting on the ponies at Hollywood Park. Who names a racetrack and poker cardroom in Los Angeles California after Jesus’ cross? Jesus Christ, the Jewish born Rabbi and Messiah of Christianity and Islam was an absolute pacifist who said, “Do not ever strike back, even in self defense, turn the other cheek”, and “Blessed are the peacemakers.” Are Judaism, Christianity and Islam pacifist religions? Is Santa Claus a Buddhist?

The date today is May 30, 2007. The eighth and final race at Hollywood Park this afternoon features Private Hall, Blazen Bunny, Kreeker, In My Life, Your Quote, Leslie Lill, Kleven’s Verbatim, Cotorra and The Case Queen. Cindy Sheehan can’t decide whether to bet Private Hall or The Case Queen after the son she lost in Iraq Casey Sheehan. Casey Sheehan was a cub scout, eagle scout, altar server at his Church, drama graduate and army vehicle mechanic. On Palm Sunday morning April 4th 2004 Casey Sheehan woke up, went to Church in Baghdad where he acted as the altar server, then volunteered to rescue American troops where he was killed by enemy fire at the age of 24. Casey Sheehan’s decision to re-enlist knowing that he would be sent to Iraq did not pay off.

After Casey’s death Cindy Sheehan became an American anti-Iraq War peace activist. How do you stop a country from going to war when you cannot even stop your own son, if she tried? In her resignation letter entitled “Good Riddance Attention Whore”, Cindy Sheehan rebuked the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, President Bush, American society’s treatment of women, the two party system, the American politicians, the American defense contractors, the American media and the American Peace Movement. Cindy Sheehan calls the United States of America a “Facist Corporate Wasteland”. She states that the people of the United States do not want peace. She repeatedly accuses the United States of America of killing her son Casey Sheehan. Cindy Sheehan says that she has sacrificed all of her time, energy and money trying to get the United States of America to stop “slaughtering innocent human beings” and all she has gotten is intense criticism from both Republicans and Democrats for her countless sacrifices.

Cindy Sheehan blames herself for her son’s death because she bought into the system for so long. Clearly Cindy Sheehan is a woman suffering from incredible pain, frustration and grief like a woman whose 4th horse just got nosed out at the wire in the $8,235 superfecta. If you think that Cindy Sheehan is now gone forever from the American anti-Iraq War peace movement then I have some land for you to buy in Crawford Texas. After 3 years in the American media spotlight, writing 2 books and numerous book tours and speaking engagements Cindy Sheehan is just warming up. She is like a Clinton who won’t go away.

The cure for a gambling addiction is to ask yourself one simple question. “Is gambling a souce of income?” Then, keep a truthful record of your wins and losses. Soon you will see that gambling at the racetrack is an expense, not a source of income. Then the little voice in your head lying to you that gambling is a source of income will go away.

Once you realize that gambling is an expense, you can start treating it as an entertainment expense like a night out at the movies. Instead of betting $100 to win on “The Case Queen” you can bet $2. You will experience the same adrenaline rush as “The Case Queen” flys down the stretch to defeat “Blazen Bunny” at the wire, and if “The Case Queen” breaks down on the back stretch you have only lost $2. Also, you will never bet $100 to win on a 30 to one shot but for $2 what the heck? If it comes in you can lose 7 races, win one and walk away a big winner. Even if you lose all 8 races you will only have lost $16 at Hollywood Park this afternoon. Meanwhile 3 billion Jewish, Christian and Muslim people are betting life on earth that a mythical messiah is going to descend from heaven on a flying horse to save them all from global warming and world wide nuclear world war 3. Cindy Sheehan’s only mistake was believing that she could turn gullible superstitious sharks into rational goldfish but God bless her for trying.
