Eating Dirt on Kentucky Derby Day - Bloomberg
The Gambler Who Cracked the Horse-Racing Code - Bloomberg
These Stories Of Horse Racing Gamblers Will Get You Psyched For The Kentucky Derby - Bloomberg. It's a podcast, but as you can see, Bloomberg is all-in on the Derby.
Local Dallas Sportscaster Goes Viral For His 'Unplugged' Commentary - All Things Considered. The part about his racist dad saying the one black family he knows is good and different from all the blacks he doesn't know is pure Midwestern bigotry. I don't know if I could count how many times I've heard that. Sometimes it includes a statement that that black person or family agrees with that person about other blacks.

Minnesota experiment upends notions about how plants will offset rising CO2 - Minn Post
On The Hunt For The Elusive Morel Mushroom In Ohio's Appalachian Country - The Salt
Here's why Michigan Medicaid work requirements will kill people - Detroit Free Press. Exemptions for rural counties, but not for poor urban areas. That's the Republican party for you.
How Criminals Steal $37 Billion a Year from America’s Elderly - Bloomberg. I would like to know what countries' GDP are smaller than the total economic activity generated in the US by crime and fraud. I would guess it is the size of a medium-sized developed nation
Paul Ryan Just Got Trounced By a Priest - Charles Pierce and Ryan reverses, will keep House chaplain in place - Politico. As if I needed to add anti-Catholic bigotry to my reasons to hate the GOP. I did enjoy that more than one political commentator said that the moral of the story is that you don't fuck with a Jesuit (or The Society-God bless Catholic culture).
A Pruitt Aide's Attack on Zinke Angers the White House - The Atlantic. So the cabinet secretary I hate the most had an underling try to undermine the cabinet secretary I hate the second-most. That seems about like what I'd expect from the Trump administration. Even they can understand who the assholes are.
This Map Shows Every State's Biggest Export - How Much (via Ritholtz). Not too hard to figure out where Poet is based.
