No bird here
Just moved on the wire:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Michael Waltrip's penalties for allegedly making an inappropriate gesture during a race last month were overturned Wednesday.
NASCAR had accused Waltrip of gesturing during the Sept. 18 race in New Hampshire after Robby Gordon threw his helmet at Waltrip following an accident involving the drivers. Waltrip was fined $10,000, docked 25 points and placed on probation until the end of the year.
Waltrip denied making the gesture and appealed to the three-member National Stock Car Racing Commission. The panel said two members found TV footage "inconclusive," and the commission then voted to rescind the penalties.
That scream of outrage you just heard came from Carrie, who swearsshe saw a bird. Oh, well.

I'd only scream if I was shocked. I'm not shocked.

I saw the same bird that Carrie did, but just in case I have an eye appointment scheduled for in 2 weeks.
