Congress considersConcord hazardous?
NASCAR fans might seem rabid, but are they actually contagious?
Getting a hepatitis shot is standard procedure for travelers
to parts of Africa and Asia, but some congressional aides were instructed to get
immunized before going to Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord and the racetrack in Talladega, Ala.
The House Homeland Security Committee planned a fact-finding trip
about public health preparedness at mass gatherings and decided to conduct the
research at two of the nation's most heavily attended sporting events, NASCAR's
Bank of America 500 event this weekend and the UAW-Ford 500 last
weekend.
Staff who organized the trips advised the NASCAR-bound aides to get
a range of vaccines before attending -- hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus,
diphtheria and influenza.
I guess even with 10's of millions of dollars at stake for programs and projects for buying votes, the Dems still don't get it. Like when they called King Petty a drunk.
Maybe there are hard feelings lingering since I heard Billy Clinton booed at Darlington and Ronald Reagan cheered wildly by a monster crowd years before.
Yep, that NASCAR crowd is stoopid, but are they dangerous?
