Default Wow...GOP does something useful in Congress. Stop the presses!

NASCAR suffered a rare loss in Congress Thursday — and worst yet, it
came at the hands of a Republican from Georgia.

Rep. Jack Kingston tipped the scales in the House Appropriations
Committee, putting some Southern moxie behind what had been a losing
cause until now: Rep. Betty McCollum’s campaign to end the Pentagon’s
practice of spending tens of millions every year on costly motor sport
and fishing sponsorships to promote recruitment.

NASCAR commands the lion’s share of these expenditures, estimated at
about $80 million in 2012 altogether. And new estimates from the
National Guard show that more than $135 million has been spent over the
past five years just for the Guard’s sponsorship and branding efforts
through Hendricks Motorsports in North Carolina and the racing team of
star driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.

That's the lamest response I've ever seen. You are really an adult with
adult children? You should hope they never see your posts in this group.
