Fox Sports Stupidity

Fox cut away from the Yankees-Red Sox game, which was a one-run game with two outs in the ninth, to show non-athletes going nowhere.

Here is my response that I sent to Fox:

"Are you brain dead? Why on earth would you cut away from the "biggest rivalry in sports," as you anchors called it to show the beginning of a bunch of guys driving around a circle? Not everyone has cable and go to FX. Fox Saturday baseball is the only game I get to watch every week. You should have put the start of the race on FX and switched when the real American past time was over. Your decision was poor. There were two outs and a one-run difference. I could understand if one team was 10 or 15 runs ahead.

It is disgraceful that you have absolutely no respect for the grand American game and more concerned with a bunch of non-athletes burning gas going nowhere!"

A Great Way to Save Gas

I think I have an idea that would save massive gasoline consumption. Since the liberal, environmentalist Democrat types will not let us increase supply by drilling for oil in Alaska or the Gulf of Mexico, we have to decrease demand.

No, I am not talking about ethanol or driving wind up cars.

Imagine the obscene amounts of gasoline consumed every week by non-athletes driving their super fast cars around a giant oval. They go absolutely nowhere. They drive for a couple hours and wind up right back where they started. Where I come from, that is called being lost. They burn thousands of gallons of gas, used hundreds of tires, and think they actually accomplished something.

Banning auto racing would saved thousands of dollars and thousands of gallons of gas per week. Imagine the saving over the span of a year or decade.
