Blackberry Beauty. Beauty as her barn name. Here's her pedigree and a pic:

I got her $150 worth of hay delivered and stacked.

Edit: removed the pic. Linked to a personal account. Hit me up again and I'll post one from elsewhere.

That Betty Dee-voss sounds like she's from the land of high cotton and dont seem ta know-a-lickof-nuthin bout us Trump voters. I just done knocked up the Missus so's I reckon' me and my Sister-wife's baby ain't gonna be learnin' much about nuthin' no time soon 'cept Jesus-stuff and all. Well, "God's Kingdom", cain't be too far off. Guess I'll just be fixin' to wait fer Trump to bring me that job, then.

Yeah. Part of what outrages me here is that it should have been so easy for say Walnuts to have gone "Look, I don't object to her, and my constituents don't object to her, but she paid over $50,000 to my reelection campaign, plus however much else to PACs that supported my reelection. Me voting here would look shady as fuck, so I'm going to pretend I actually deserve the reputation for integrity that I somehow still have and sit this out."

I'd enjoy seeing a pic. :-) Black Arabians make me think of the Black Stallion books that I read and loved as a kid. My horse is a Hanoverian gelding.

She doesn't quite have the temperment of the The Black. But she is an Arabian, so occasionally she loses her mind and goes feral for a few minutes. I don;t know if the picture is going to work, but here is one:

Lovely photos. She looks mellow.It made me go look up the Black Stallion movie on youtube. There's about 40 minutes with no words. This bit kills me:https://youtu.be/JnuALo88ND0Peace, shivaskeeper.

I love the entirety of the first half of that movie.

Me either. I'd been averse to Satanism ever since reading Dennis Wheatley's novels as a kid, but then I discovered he was a racist dodo and besides that didn't really know a thing about the occult. If Betsy DeVos and her horrifying brother represent the Kingdom of God, maybe I'd better rethink my ideas about Satanism, or, as Alex says in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, "If you bastards are on the side of good I'm glad I belong to the other shop."

Do you have any room for an old, fat American? I am polite, non-boisterous, and would learn to speak your language!

It is. I used to fight when they held me down to put the pants on me, but now I just lay back and think of England.

Of these, only Murkowski voted against her. The others recused themselves.

And by recused themselves, I of course mean "voted in favor," because blatantly selling cabinet posts is how much integrity our Republicans have.

We always have room for those feeling unwelcome, disenfranchised, looking for personal freedom and willing to contribute to our society. Not sure about thre language though.We have people from the US and the UK who still haven't mastered thre language but that could be our own fault because we always switch to english.
