NASCAR today, tomorrow, and forever…….
I hope to buy stock in this company before they start making their product available to NASCAR fans.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Baseball fanatics won’t have to leave behind their beloved teams when they finally go to that big stadium in the sky. Instead, they’ll soon be able to rest in peace inside a coffin with team colors and insignia.
Major League Baseball has a marketing deal with a company called Eternal Image. It’ll put team logos on caskets and urns. The effort begins next season with the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, Phillies, Cubs and Dodgers. It could eventually include all 30 teams.
Each urn will be stamped with a message saying Major League Baseball officially recognizes the deceased as a lifelong fan of that team.
After starting with baseball, Eternal Image hopes to branch out by making similar deals with the NFL, the NHL and NASCAR. MORE

Congressional Priorities
In this week’s radio address President Bush stated, “At this moment, somewhere in the world, terrorists are planning a new attack on America. And Congress has no higher responsibility than ensuring we have the tools to stop them.”

Isn’t our concern for the integrity of professional baseball why we sent these guy to Washington? We wouldn’t want them to get sidetracked on to issues of national security when they can be spending thousands of hours and millions of dollars debating whether or not a baseball player took steroids.
