Another suggestion? "Throttle on the Bottle." Mine would be "Not so FastMachines." Great title for corrections article. Another suggestion? “Throttle on the Bottle.” Mine would be “Not so FastMachines.”

I'm writing about a sport that is <em>supposed</em> to be fun. At least that's what it should be, but sometimes I wonder, and Ms. Myers is an example of losing sight of that. She's far from alone, a fast trip thru the <a href="http://thatsracin.com" rel="nofollow">"Roush Racing"</a> of blogs or most of the NASCAR forums shows there is a lot of hatred, invective and veil comments made about each other and "their" drivers. As far as my correction goes, I may not by a journalist but I still need to write, as best as I can, the facts as I know them. Someday I'll go thru my 2 plus years of archives, pull all the corrections and write one entire article quoting them. I even have a couple titles in mind. Full Throttle - at Less Than Half Speed. OR Officer Why Do I Have to Blow into That Thing? What’s to take too seriously?

Strange. I wonder what the Neuro-Linguistic-typo connection is. Great post Marc, you are totally "right on" on the yellow journalism call. I also think the fact that you left Deb's comment on for all to see, plus made a point to call yourself on yourself is awesome. Shows humilty and that you don't take yourself too seriously. I enjoy your posts, comments and rebuttals on my travels through the ether's. Love the weekly cess pool. Now Onward...To the West or Bust!! I do the Kenseth/ Harvick switcheroo sometimes too.

For some reason the brain thought one thing and wrote another. Plus for some strange reason I often make the Kenseth/Harvick switch. Got no clue as to why, just some type of mental block I suppose.
