Ahhhh, interesting three piece article in the Wsahington Post that began yesterday about how divided America is, some hypothesises on how it has occured, and genearl observations about the two camps. The Reds and the conservatives and generally are folks who live in the states that Bush either won or was awarded (i.e. Florida) and the Blues states are more populated with more liberal folks...

Anyway, yesterday's installment was an overview and todays was inside the home's deep inside Red America, the Stein family of Sugar Land, Texas. And, while the article didn't mention NASCAR, one gets the strong impression that Mr. Stein can certainly tell you a thing or two about the current points standing. That's why, while I knew what Howard Dean was trying to do with his "Bubba with a Confederate flag on the pickup truck" speech, I believe that there is no way of getting these Red folks to leave their camp. Like how many Red camp folks were in the Woman's March yesterday? None! 1.5 million folks and not 1!!! But that is reality.

Now I've been known to joke around about country music and NASCAR but if it weren't for these two pastimes, the Red Camp would be purdy bored. And know what? The Blue camp could get themselves a NASCAR race car and they would be booed and run into a wall by Stroker Ace so all them Red(neck) camp folks could get their jollies...

So, it's my hope that the Blue camp can come up with some events, other than protesting and being enlightened, that are equally exclusive. Problem is, the Red camp is so well financed in the area of entertainment and so far ahead that it may just be a dream to think that *our* side could ever come up with anything equivalent to NASCAR...

Now, not to sound sour-grapish, but if sitting in the hot sun watching cars drive round and round and round is the Red camps way of having fun, we Blue camp folks certainly win in the intellegence department...

Ahhhhh, IMHO...
