Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.

i can do anything better than you...
ReplyDeleteUmm.. excuse me...sir?..umm..who is Shriley (Cha Cha) Muldowney?
ReplyDeleteAnon: I think the author is referring to Indy-type races, which seem substantively distinct from drag racing.
ReplyDeleteI think both Muldowney and Patrick deserve kudos not just for being at the top of their professions (which they are) but also for their pioneering efforts.
Winning a specific drag race is not in the same category as winning an Indy, F1 or stock car race. Muldowney deserves credit for winning a whole shitload of races; Patrick deserves credit for winning one particular hard-to-win race.
ReplyDeleteWasn't that Ethel Merman?
ReplyDeleteToomanytribbles and Anonymous(2) got it, with extra bonus points to A(2) for referencing the original 1946 Broadway production.
