NASCAR a four letter word

NASCAR is a four letter word in Portsmouth. Right on the front page was a picture of one of Portsmouth’s finest pulling over a NASCAR demo vehicle. Not to get an autograph, but rather to issue a warning. It seems that the driver had let all 550 horses roar up to 55mph on the Spaulding Pike, an area not noted for high density residential.

One thing that must have shocked local liberals is that the driver is plainly visible and he has all his teeth! NASCAR1.GIF
For liberals NASCAR is defined as “a vile act committed among semi-literate, semi-consenting adults, resulting in large carbon footprints, and unfortunately fun and excitement; this act also results in shopping at WalMart and voting Republican.”

I could envision local liberal soccer moms grabbing the paper from their teenage sons, before they could see that picture, lest it invoke strong emotions. NASCAR2.GIF
Emotions so strong that would require mass counseling at the local high school, before said teenage boys could race out to the parking lot to rev their Priuses.

Is it possible for a teenage girl to get excited about a boy driving a burgundy Prius? God, for the sake of the country I hope not.

In the picture I also noticed a girl in the passenger’s seat. There was a time when that was a boy’s dream - a muscle car and a girl under each arm. I never experienced it, neither the muscle car nor the girls, but ahh …. a boy could dream!

Thank god for the heartland of this country, where the advent of a NASCAR demo vehicle is cause for a town picnic, the consumption of hotdogs, and no not Chablis, but rather Budweiser. In Portsmouth it seems cause to lock your daughters in their bedrooms.

Advocating women’s rights is a good thing. New Hampshire may end up with a woman Senator and the country with a woman president. But the homogenization of the sexes and the resulting wussification of both coasts is not good.



Here’s a salute to NASCAR, where men are men and a boy can dream.
