Awhile back, after 1-10 favorite Big Brown spit the bit in the Belmont Stakes and thus denied his lump of a trainer, Richard Dutrow, the Triple Crown I announced my belief in God. Who else would have stepped in and stopped the injustice of a mook like Dutrow winning something he didn't deserve? Well apparently it wasn't God because after today, there cannot be a God.
LoLo Jones, gliding to victory in the 100 meter hurdles, tripped over the second to last hurdle and faded to 7th. This would have been the story of the Olympics. This woman was homeless, in foster care, the product of a lousy environment, had every excuse to fail at life yet chose to kick life's ass and became the finest women hurdler in the world. But somebody would have none of that and she had victory snatched out of her hand by one lousy piece of luck. I would have preferred Michael Phelps to sink like a rock than have this winner lose. But she lost.
God, I am pissed.
