While I was in Austin, apparently there was some kind of racecar thing over north of Fort Worth. Which brings to mind this comment from Roy Blount Jr.'s reading in the House chamber. Roy was explaining that although he does not fit the mold of the stereotypical Southerner, he hasn't adopted all the ways of the frozen North, either: "I don't like hockey. And it may be a bad thing to say in this great House, but I don't like NASCAR. The only way to get me to watch NASCAR would be to have them run over a hockey player every couple of laps." I suspect that, on a books blog, he might find some kindred souls. |
