Prelude to the Dream 2009 Results

Yesterday saw the 2009 “Prelude to the Dream” take place, at the Eldora Speedway. And according to stewartent.com, Tony Stewart wasn’t exactly the perfect host he should have been, when he invited his friends to the race and then picked up his third win. Stewart’s teammate Ryan Newman finished in fourth position at the 5th annual charity event. Clint Bowyer finished in second place and Kyle Busch finished in third place. It looked like a few drivers didn’t quite make it for different reasons.

Denny Hamlin had a mechanical fault with his car and Robby Gordon had a tire down, which seemed to cause a 5 car accident. There was more than 23,000 people watching as Stewart won, with an average speed of 38.978 mph. One of the most awaited events in the car racing scene is Prelude To The Dream. I hope I can watch Prelude To The Dream 2009 live stream on June 3. I’m sure there will be live streaming websites that will show this great car racing event.

Rep Joe Wilson South Carolina

Rep Joe Wilson South Carolina

Republican Rep. Joe Wilson's heckling of Obama sparks fundraising flood to his Democratic opponent In eight years of George W. Bush's presidency -- despite huge differences on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and contentious debates over torture policy, No Child Left Behind and immigration reform -- no elected official ever heckled the president of the United States when he addressed a joint session of Congress. But last night, as President Obama was making the case for his healthcare reform initiative, 62-year-old South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson called the president a liar. To his face.

It happened when Obama was rebutting the myths about healthcare reform, including the shibboleth that the package will allow benefits for illegal immigrants. Obama assured the viewing audience that the rumors were false. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi looked stunned. First Lady Michelle Obama, watching from the gallery, shook her head back and forth. And Republicans like Arizona's John McCain, calling the heckling "totally disrespectful," immediately called on Wilson to apologize.

Wilson did call the White House to apologize. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, reportedly livid over the breach of civility, took the call. Then Wilson put out a statement saying, "This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the president's remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President's statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility."

The Blue Man

The Blue Man

Picasso had his blue period and then moved on to different colors. Paul Karason knows where the famous artist was coming from. After literally living the blues for more than a decade, the real-life “Blue Boy” is ready to try a different color. “I’m anxious to try green,” Karason joked to TODAY’s Matt Lauer in New York Thursday. “You get a little bored with blue.”

Recluse to celebrity

A year and a half ago, Karason vaulted from life as a relative recluse to Internet fame when he first appeared on TODAY to tell how he turned his skin the color of a ripe Concord grape with years of self-administered doses of colloidal silver. He went from a man who didn’t like to speak in public and didn’t appreciate the often-negative attention his singular skin color brought him to giving interviews on national shows and being approached with acceptance by people who had seen his story.

Lauer asked him if being on TODAY helped bring him out of his shell. “I didn’t have much choice. I couldn’t find the cave I was looking for,” Karason said with his characteristic self-deprecating humor. When he first appeared on TODAY, Dr. Nancy Snyderman, NBC’s chief medical editor, talked him into getting his first complete medical checkup in years. The colloidal silver that had been collecting in his tissues and turning his skin blue is a heavy metal, and there was fear it could have affected his organs, particularly his liver. Karason passed all the tests with flying colors (of a bluish hue) and was given a clean bill of health.
