NASCAR is now a government agency

“… NASCAR is now an official EPA apparatchik charged with shoving the agency’s Orwellian propaganda down the throats of its fans in an attempt to change their behavior. NASCAR has essentially agreed to become a corporate crony of the EPA’s job and wealth shredding machine. For a sport that has always prized independence, raw power, and American traditions (invocations and military flyovers start each race), this may be too much for its core fans to swallow.”

(Read the memorandum of understanding:

http://www.epa.gov/p2/pubs/nascarmou.pdf

in which “The parties intend to hold meetings and workshops as necessary to develop, plan and implement these activities to establish appropriate models of communication.”

(Junior says to J.B., “Do what?” J.B. says, “Aw, that’s where bureaucrats sit around and talk about stuff. If they didn’t have meetings and workshops, how could they decide to tell you and me what to do?” Junior says, “I know about meetings and workshops. When I was working for the Title IX commission, that’s all they wanted to do. I was just wondering, which drivers do they intend to meet and workshop with?”)

And: “The new partnership supports the (sic) President Obama’s recently announced National Bioeconomy Blueprint, which is designed to uncouple economic growth from dependency on fossil fuels, petrochemicals and other hazardous substances. In return, EPA will lend its technical assistance to help NASCAR implement and promote the agency’s business-friendly Design for the Environment and Economy, Energy, Environment programs.”

(You just have to stand up and cheer when an organization such as NASCAR looks deep into its heart and decides the only moral course of action is to support "President Obama's recently announced National Bioeconomy Blueprint.")

There’s something for everybody!
