All I remember last week from the news was Hillary Clinton's stump speech comparing herself to Eight Belles; the first female horse running the Kentucky Derby in almost a decade. Well turns out Eight Belles finished 2nd in the Derby and had to be put down after breaking her leg during the race. Hillary, the fates have warned you.

EDIT: A quick comment made by the lovely people in #capcom on efnet

I guess there might be a joke about Obama and the winning horse being named Big Brown in there somewhere, I dunno

Haha.
