Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart, Talking About The Utterly Stupid Article Raygan Swan Wrote About Them

Dear People Of Turner Sports and Entertainment Digital Network, Lords and Masters of NASCAR.COM:

What the hell.

Seriously.  What the hell.

You’ve run some industrial strength steer manure in the past.  Bad reporting, bad writing, opinion columns with 99 44/100% less understanding of NASCAR, racing or anything else than Paris Hilton has about the value of chastity.  But today… . . . → Read More: Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart, Talking About The Utterly Stupid Article Raygan Swan Wrote About Them

Bozos With Bees Up Their Butts

What is Kyle Busch’s problem?

Seriously.  What is Kyle Busch’s problem?

His latest tirade against Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the stuff of which studies in petulance are made.  Whether it’s a deliberate attempt to reinforce his bad boy image or sniping on the level of a jilted former boyfriend dissing his replacement, Busch continues to embarrass no one . . . → Read More: Bozos With Bees Up Their Butts

So That’s Where They Wound Up At

Remember the brouhaha a year and a half ago when some anonymous bureaucrat suggested staff aides for the House Committee on Homeland Security get immunized before visiting the health facilities at Talladega and Lowe’s?

I’m pretty sure they now work for the Department of Homeland Security.

The Difference Between Tomfoolery And Being A Fool

As you probably gathered from the previous post, I’m not much for April Fools’ Day.  Not that I’m averse to spinning yarns, mind you.  But on April first, no.

That said, a good April Fools’ Day joke is always appreciated; the straightforward presentation of something utterly ridiculous yet so skilfully stated there’s a moment of belief before . . . → Read More: The Difference Between Tomfoolery And Being A Fool

Support Your Local Twit… Er, Twitterer

For the most part, the Great NASCAR Blogger/Journalist War of recent years seems to have wound down.  There’s still the occasional skirmish, and twats like John Daly continue their shouting into the wind for having the temerity to blow without first seeking their permission.  Overall, though, things have calmed down considerably.
