Is it any coincidence that in the week the wingnuts have been running their victory lap (referential pun intended) that the sport of the wingnuts would make this announcement?
NASCAR returned to its roots Wednesday by lifting a ban on liquor ads on cars, opening the door for teams to be sponsored next season by distilled spirits.
I think not. Especially not in light of the terms in which NASCAR's president puts the decision:
"We felt the time was right," NASCAR president Mike Helton said. "Attitudes have changed, and spirits companies have a long record of responsible advertising."
Read: "With the Republican party in control of all three branches of government, we realized we could safely resume making money by selling space for liquor companies to advertise to alcoholics and children."
Values, indeed.
