Live from Atco-- Part 3-NHRA Lucas Oil Series

600 cars?!? In "this economy"??? Hey, everybody, what's wrong with this picture??

I saw a poll on CNN last week where they had talked to "average" (Read whatever you want into that.) people about the bailout. The question was "Do you understand what the reasons for the economic crisis are and what the economic bailout is all about?" 60% of the people responded "No" and only 2% said "Yes". I look at the renowned population on Capitol Hill who are trying to figure this thing out and realize they are a cross section of that polled group. So few people there know what they are doing, and do not realize they are part of the problem. It's no wonder they have a single digit approval rating. I write my Congressman and Senators every week to remind them of that.

"I'm sorry.", as I step off my soap-box.
