A race car sponsored by the Indiana National Guard was the first to crash today, 05/23/2009, in the Indianapolis 500, not long after the opening ceremony to honor America's veterans, including a speech by General Craig McKinley, a three-volley salute, and the national anthem sung by a member of Indiana's Guard.
The Indiana Guard sponsored two Indy500 race cars, to promote itself, and encourage recruitment, this year. The 1313th Engineer company just deployed to Iraq, after a send-off party at East High School in Columbus, Indiana.

My mistake. I'm commenting on my own post to say that I left the wrong URL for the full text. Same website, wrong URL. Here's the right one, http://www.examiner.com/x-8257-SF-Energy-Policy-Examiner~y2009m5d24-Memorial-Day-Weekend-at-the-Indy500-greenhouse-gas-cars-stars--bars
Poor Lord Ignorant,
He dosent realize that when one resorts to violent threats and statements while arguing a point,
it just renders his argument and himself, Impotent.
He doesn't realize that I never make threats of violence on here...and that my tone was one of mere mockery toward Ann for being taken in by the 'global warming' scam being promoted by anAL GOREtentive to line his own pockets....alas,irony is simply wasted on some people
'greenhouse gases". Back in the '70's they warned against "global cooling". Oh, and bonus points for the fucktard throwing in "militarism", though it forgot that chestnut "homophobia".
The left still doesn't know what's going on, but they'll never miss an opportunity to look like a mental defective.
