NASCAR, Free Music, Aquanet, Cap & Trade

The NASCAR truck series will be the Memphis Motorsports Park on Saturday. Not as fun as watching the Sprint Cup or Nationwide Series, but still good, loud racing. 100 degree temps will not make this event fun.

More free concerts at the Levitt Shell all weekend. Your best bet will be Free World Sunday night at 7pm.

Another fun show will be at the Red Rooster on Saturday. 80s hair cover band Aquanet will brings their entertaining act Downtown. This is always a good time.

The U.S. House passed the Cap & Trade bill today. This will be the highest tax increase in American history. Your paychecks may not be touched via income tax, but you will see increases in your energy bills as soon as this bill becomes law. There is a ton b.s. spin coming from the White House and House Democrats, especially on the job front. Both are claiming this bill will create thousands of new jobs. Will the new jobs be more or less than all of the jobs that will be lost as a result of the bill? Yes, many jobs will be lost. This is confirmed by the three years of unemployment assistance that has been added to the bill to make sure those who lose their jobs are taken care of. But there is no talk in the mainstream media about this. Lets hope the Senate has more sense than the California-whack job led House. Shame on Steve Cohen. We thought you were better than this.

Ladies and gentlemen, Louis Armstrong.
