The Charlotte Observer’s pom-poms are showing with a front-page screamer on how to show your support for the NASCAR Hall of Fame. A synopsis:
Line the streets of uptown and wave at the multi-million dollar operators as they roll by in an air conditioned bus. Groveling, begging, full supplication welcomed. Make clear that you ache to fork over your hard-earned tax dollars in service of the Lords of the Left-Turn, that your life would be meaningless if the fabulously wealthy, for-profit enterprise opted to site its latest attraction in Daytona or, horrors, Atlanta. Adorn yourself in officially licensed NASCAR apparel, sit in officially licensed NASCAR seats, eat and drink officially licensed NASCAR food and beverages — show that you care! You may go now.
I guess the Observer piece on what to do if you oppose the Hall of Fame will run tomorrow.
