Hello Ward,

 MP>> Yeah, the last time they made that threat to Kentucky, I was not MP>happy
 WD> with it, either.  However, Kentucky is usually a concubine MP>state of DC
 WD> so they are not likely to throw up much of a fuss.  MP>If they did not get
 WD> the federal dollars, they'd have been in deep MP>do-do for a while now.

 WD> Kentucky knows how to make a good buck.

After bleeding their grass blue, they need something to replenish
it with.  So why not greenbacks?

 WD> They stretched the runway of Lexington Bluegrass Airport so that Arabs
could
 WD> fly-in with wide-body airplanes to come check on their horses. It's got
 WD> full customs and immigration facilities just for that purpose.

And camels.  Don't forget the camels.  Arabs are really big
on camel racing.  Now if only Kentuckians can figure out how
to build a track for camels, rather than horses ...

Mint juleps at the Kentucky Derby.
What would Arabs drink at the Camel Derby?

Oh, yeah.  Julab is Arabic for julep.  Gotta keep the ladies
happy with that sweetwater stuff.  And the hats.  Let's not forget
about the hats.  Also invented by Arabs ...
