FCC to sponsor David Gilliland's Yates Racing ride - Sprint Cup Series | SceneDaily.com - NASCAR News

On Feb. 17, 2009, all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital.

"I'm flattered that the FCC chose our No. 38 Ford to help them convey the message about the upcoming digital television transition taking place next year," Gilliland said. "This is a very big undertaking to convert the entire country to digital services, but the end result will be improved picture and sound quality and those are definitely important factors to NASCAR fans.”


Financial terms of the sponsorship were not disclosed.

Your tax dollars at work. Next thing you know we will have a president say 'Gentleman, start your engines....'. Oh I forgot, we had that already.

Mickey Mouse Tries to Register to Vote - FOXNews.com Elections

Mickey Mouse is as American as apple pie, and he has starred in films, TV shows and video games. But apparently he can't vote.

Florida elections officials rejected Mickey's application this summer. It is unclear whether Mickey tried to register as a Democrat or a Republican. But the application included a stamped logo of ACORN, the community organizing group that is facing accusations of voter registration fraud.

ACORN -- which has a history of voter fraud allegations -- acknowledged its logo was on the application but said its workers routinely scan all suspicious applications.

"We don't think this card came through our system," Brian Kettenring, ACORN's head organizer in Florida, told the St. Petersburg Times.

I guess I do not understand how this could happen.  If it has the stamped logo of ACORN, and if ACORN has done questionable voting drives in the past, then how can Mr. Kettering say that he did not think it came through their system.

You see, I have said it here before, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck.  Please fix your system or get out of the business.  If a conservative based group were doing this there would be screams of protest.
