Watch Fox News on a non-breaking news day and hour after hour it is about New York City. Even the baseball playoff reports on Fox news, now that the Yankees have been eliminated, is simply mentioned in passing.
The Times looks down its nose at all other cities, regions, and “fly over country”, as if we did not exist. It is even reflected in attitudes of NYC based conservatives like Hannity, who is VERY NY biased. You can see his bias in his worship of Rudy.
If I were NASCAR, I would make anybody from NYC and DC sign a liability form that absolves NASCAR if they contract any disease. BTW, the only exception I would make, as NASCAR, is rabies. NASCAR fans ARE rabid about their sport, their cars, their drivers, and their races).
More importantly, I would like to know why the staffers are forced to visit a NASCAR area the week of a big race. EMS people will be too busy to talk to them that week, let alone show them around. Wait, I just had a thought.... Could it possibly be that they want to see the races? I must be way off base on this, because everybody knows that has the appearance of evil. I bet they find a real need to investigate the Super Bowl the week of the big game.
As a northeasterner, how do you guys feel about Formula 1 and rally racing?
Another thought... How many Homeland Security Committee staffers were involved in this trip on tax money? Who paid for their shots??
