I always suspected as much.

Congressman Bennie Thompson "recently instructed committee aides who visited Talladega Superspeedway last weekend and are also at this weekend's Nextel Cup race at Lowe's Motor Speedway to be immunized against a variety of diseases such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, diphtheria, tetanus and influenza."

Granted, there are some NASCAR fans that are, shall we say, socially challenged – the type that sometimes forget their weekly shower, eschew deodorant in favor of the "natural" smell and have ample beer bellies that should have Goodyear stamped across 'em – but that doesn't mean they're disease-carrying threats to national security.

Yes, it does...

"Is being a racing fan suddenly akin to being a leper?" When Kasey Kahne's dick falls off, someone let me know.

Of those immunizations, can you get more than diptheria and the flu by social contact? And what's with the tetanus? Did he think his people would be too close to exploding car parts?

Ole' Bennie's from Mississippi, I'd be more frightened of catching something from him.

oddly enough - I just hired a new tech support girl - she's Jamaican, grew up in the mountains there, well educated, black as coal and a rabid nascar fan. Go figure.

I thought Oya or Chango oversaw flaming car wrecks.

If you want to be bloody minded sure (Chango, oi, like slow dancing with Johnny Blaze). But considering Emm's earlier post I would assume she would go for the low hanging fruit of his eventual arrest for his kiddie porn collection.
