That is not really true these days. The US is very close to Carter's
goal of making the US energy independent. The only glitch is oil
itself, overall, with nat gas exports, we are "net" energy
independent. The Keystone pipeline would actually make us a net energy
exporter again.

That fact is not lost on the arabs and it is apparent at the pump
today.

Actually when I look at who plays ball these days, that is not a "buy
American" plan either.
Go to a NASCAR race !

Several years ago before Toyata was part of Nascar there was debate
on the whether a Japanese car should be allowed. The cars used as
models
for Nascar stock cars then were the Chevrolet Monte Carlo built in
Canada, the Ford Fusion built Mexico and the car in question was the
Camry built in Tennessee.

PS. I could have some facts wrong but the point that is, both the Ford
and Chevy were built in other countries and the Camry was built in
the US.





I'm surprised you righties like NASCAR so much, what with the cars
only turning left.


They don't just turn left, what's with asking stupid questions about
something you know little about, and care less about?




They make some right turns on some tracks.



I went to a Daytona 500 some decades ago. All the turns around the track
were towards the left. Not my favorite kind of motor racing.

That works. Go to a NASCAR race with a tattooed prostitute that you
met at a yard sale and drink beer all day! Better than a baseball game
anyway.

I think the whole idea is good except the prostitute part. I will take
my wife and spoil her with American made gifts ;-)


Herring apparently gets his dates at yard sales

NASCAR has virtually nothing to do with real cars. They use a custom
body with a shape "inspired" by a production car but there is nothing
but the logo that is actually common between them.
These things are built more like airplanes than cars


That's why they don't call 'em 'stock cars' anymore...

Interesting point. When did they stop calling it stock car racing?

Wow, good question... I think sometime back in the 80's. If you want to
see something closer to "stock cars" there are several new forms of
racing designed to be more limited in modifications, such as the truck
racing and local stuff like "late model sportsman" divisions. Like I
said, many of these are more limited in order to allow folks to race
that don't have a quarter million a week for an engine..

I think the original era of true stock car racing ended in the early
70's. That's when all kinds of rules, regulations, and restrictions
began to become imposed.

I liked it in it's original days. A 390 ci or 427 ci Ford Galaxie was
pretty much what you could buy at the dealership. Same with the 426
hemi "elephant" used in the Plymouths and the 421 ci Pontiac designed
specifically for the stock car racing circuit.

No interest in today's NASCAR racing. It's all about the drivers now,
not the cars.

Well, maybe except for Danica Patrick. :-)

NASCAR racing got it's start from the moonshine runners of the 30's.

Too bad that if the Keystone Pipeline is built, it will wind up like the Arab Pipelines, or the one in Alberta....being attacked.

The US is NOT an "Energy Exporter"...it buys Hydro off of Quebec, cheaper than we Canadians can get it.

Suck ****.

Already over 3 million miles of oil pipeline in the US... so this will
not add that much more of a target.
