NASCAR ATHLETES AND THE CHARITIES THEY SUPPORT

The Real Kyle Busch and His Quest to Help Children Across the Country

As the season calms down and the major figures of NASCAR return to their ‘off-season’ activities, which in many cases means charity work. Many of the biggest fans in NASCAR lend time, money and resources to their own foundations or the charities closest to their heart. NASCAR heavyweight, Kyle Busch is no exception.  When he’s not competing with NASCAR’s elite, Kyle Busch is focused on improving the lives of neglected, abandoned, abused or orphaned children across the country. After an emotional visit to a children’s home in 2006, Busch vowed to help provide living and learning environments where less fortunate children can pursue their dreams, and thus came The Kyle Busch Foundation.

The Kyle Busch Foundation concentrates its efforts on assisting organizations in fostering a safe environment for children to live, learn and challenge themselves as well as providing assistance for day-to-day needs. The foundation supports a number of charities including St. Johns Home (Grand Rapids, MI), Carolina’s Children Center (Concord, NC), Girls and Boys Town of Nevada (Las Vegas, NV) and Carrie Steele-Pitts Home (Atlanta, GA) and many more.

This holiday season many NASCAR families can help their favorite drivers and many more by giving to these charities. Find your favorite athlete and their charity below.

Company Has to Lay Off 8 People

OK, I couldn’t help it, I had to repost this.

This is a letter that was written by a CFO, of a small company, to other CFO’s. I will probably catch some flak over this from the Obama supporters but, I thought it was funny!

*********************************************************************************************************

Fellow Business Executives:

As the CFO of this business that employees 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama will be our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off eight of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who will have to go.

So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can’t think of a more fair way To approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.

If you have a better idea, let me know.

Sincerely,

*********************************************************************************************************

Obama Wins – Good or Bad?

OK there is a lot of controversey over this presidential election. Over this “Historical” presidential election.

Is Obama the right choice? Well according to the people he is. Weather that is good or bad is left to be determined.

I came across an article on another forum that I thought just sums up the whole thing. I aksed permission to repost their article here.

****Original Post****

The election of Senator Barack Obama to the office of President of the United States of America has rightfully been hailed as history in the making. I couldn’t agree more, but that’s not what I want to talk about tonight. I want to remind my countrymen, countrywomen, countrydogs, countrycats, etc. of something I believe is being forgotten in the wake of last night’s election: unity. Ironic, right? Everyone speaks of the unification Obama brings to the government due to his ethnicity, and then those same people condemn, ridicule, and dismiss John McCain like he’s a plague upon the Earth. How are we unified when people are still split into Blue vs. Red, Republican vs. Democrat, Liberal vs. Conservative? Did anyone even listen to Obama’s speeches in which he calls us Americans, not Blue States and Red States? Did you hear him last night when he said repeatedly, “Yes, we can”? Notice the “we” part? He didn’t say, “Yes, we Blue States can.” We are one country split into fifty unified states. We are a team separated into offense and defense, or infield and outfield, but we are still one team (I hate sports metaphors, but they’re uncannily appropriate in so many situations). In this country, it is our right, our privilege to have differing beliefs, but once we choose our leadership we need to quit bickering and put our support behind the governing administration because if he or she fails, we all fail. You know the words: United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Remember those words, America, because they will never be untrue.

I will tell you all right now I voted for Barack Obama. I have voted Democrat in every local, state, and federal election since I was eligible to vote in 1995 (with the exception of an unopposed municipal judge election in 2004 that I wrote in Bob Vila rather than vote Republican. I know, not very unified of me, but I’ve matured since then). I tell you this because what I want to say next may cause some people to believe I voted differently and I want you to be certain that how I voted has no bearing on the validity of the following message. The point I want to make in this paragraph is about John McCain. He is a patriot, an ex-soldier, an elder statesman, and a good man. No, I don’t know him personally, but I did see his concession speech last night, which I consider to be one of the most gracious concessions in recorded history. When McCain’s crowd of supporters began booing Obama’s name as he spoke it, John McCain didn’t laugh or smile, he gave his people a stern look of disapproval and motioned for them to stop. He could easily have booed along with them like I’ve seen other politicians do over the years, but he didn’t. He showed respect, support, and loyalty toward his newly elected President. A coward mocks his political opponent, but a patriot accepts and supports him; this is John McCain. Today, I have heard people call McCain evil, stupid, or un-American simply because he lost an election or for having a different strategy for healing our country. Do not believe that because he had an alternate idea of how to run our country, he is wrong; there is always more than one way to do something. Less appealing, perhaps, but not wrong.

I’d like to say a little bit about beliefs. We all believe in something. Most tend to protect their beliefs with extreme vigilance. In nearly all cases, we fight for our beliefs to the point of becoming oppressive to people who are in direct opposition with those beliefs. We have this idea, like in Highlander, that there can be only one. But, this is America! We can all believe in whatever we want! It’s a land which allows its citizens to have differing beliefs. It’s a land founded by people who had differing beliefs from their mother countries. America is the Melting Pot of the world and not only because of the varying origins of its citizens, but also because of the mixture of so many different beliefs. Are we all so arrogant to think that our individual beliefs are the only ones with validity? I have the honor of being from a family that is of two opposite sides of the coin. My father’s side are Conservative Republican Christians, my mother’s side are Liberal Democratic Agnostics. I grew up with differing beliefs and I know what it feels like to be pulled in two directions by people I love, which is probably the exact reason I fight so passionately for unity.

I remind you, please do not see in terms of Blue State or Red State, black or white, Liberal or Conservative, male or female, gay or straight, old or young, rich or poor, rock or country, digital or traditional, married or single, Atheist or faithful, North or South, caffeinated or decaf, abridged or unabridged, VHS or DVD, tall or short, obese or skinny, Blu-Ray or HD, Linux or Windows or Mac, pro-choice or pro-life, blonde or brunette, Star Wars or Star Trek. You have choice because you have freedom. Protect them.

Some things to remember as our country fights to fulfill its’ promises:

• Stand together
• Use your voice, but use it wisely and responsibly
• Understand your opponent and make him/her your ally
• Take the initiative to change your surroundings for the benefit of all
• Open your mind and your heart will follow
• Respect all beliefs because you aren’t the only person who has them.

DFW Area Shook-up

WOW!

Thursday Night Oct. 30 and Friday Morning Oct. 31 2008 two earthquakes were reported in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area of North Texas an d one in Oklahoma.

The first one, centered in Grand Prairie, Texas, measured 2.5 on the ricter scale and was reported at 11:25 pm Thursday night. The second, centered in Irving, Texas, measured 3.0. and at 11:30am Thursday morning a 3.1 magnitude quake shook McCloud, Oklahoma 180 miles to the north of Dallas. These quakes appeared to be centered 3 miles deep in the earth. Aftershocks are expected to be felt for several days according to the US Geological Survey.

As of this post no signifacant damage was reported.

From what I have gathered the earthquake was caused by a shift in the Barnett Shale, a natural gas deposit found in the 1950’s

**UPDATE**

Saturday morning at 6:54am another 2.7 magnitude quake hit the DFW area centered in North Irving, Texas (The Las Colinas area). Again no damage was reported!

We are now up to 8 small quakes to hit the DFW area this past week. Here is a breakdown of Time, locations and strengths.
