NASCAR's newest sponsor:

"Ignite Your Potential" is the mantra Scientology uses to get Tom Cruise and other Hollywood celebs jumping up and down. Now that message will be used to fuel the engines of a new NASCAR race team.

The venture is called "The Dianetics Racing Team," named after the best-selling self-help book written by the movement's founder, science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.

Kenton Gray, a California race-car driver who has said Dianetics helped his life and driving performance, will head up the Dianetics team.

"It's markedly improved my focus and my consistency," said Gray in a statement. "Through Dianetics I've handled stress and increased my performance and ability to compete -- both on the track and in life."

You know what's tasty? Two shots of espresso over Haagen Dazs Vanilla Bean ice cream, topped with the Patron coffee liquer then swirled with ice.

That's tasty. Even better with a homemade chocolate chip cookie.

You know, I had forgotten that the world was going to end in six years. Well, we are on the next to last Pope.

That sounds suspect to me. You'll have to make me one and prove it.

Jesus, David, warn a girl before you post something like that.

Wait, two raptures? So is one like a second chance sweepstake or something? Is it a status thing? "Not our kind, dear - I hear the family was Second Rapture."

I had forgotten that the world was going to end in six years.

I thought we got 1,000 years of God's dominion and peace after the rise and defeat of the Anti-Christ, or something like that.

Now I am embarrassed to be a race fan... I wonder if other religions will follow.

I'd say go to the site and find out, but the horrible horrible web design will make your eyes bleed.
