News from the Chinese Hillbilly
While sittng in my hotel room here in Beijing scanning the news on the internet, this thing caught my eye and I had to comment.

Max Mosley faces calls to quit as Formula One chief after ‘Nazi’ orgy
Max Mosley, one of the most powerful men in world sport, was under pressure to resign as boss of Formula One’s governing body last night after he was exposed enjoying a Nazi-style orgy with five prostitutes.
Jewish groups condemned the behaviour of Mosley, 67, whose father, Sir Oswald, was the leader of the British Union of Fascists and a friend of Adolf Hitler.
Mr Mosley was caught on video by the News of the World with five women in an underground “torture chamber� in Chelsea, where he spent several hours allegedly indulging in sado-masochistic sex.
The Oxford-educated former barrister, who is president of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), reenacted a concentration camp scene in which he played the role of both guard and inmate.
You know that this sort of thing would never happen with the good ole boys in NA$CAR. I mean, can you imagine Mike Helton or Lyin' Bryan in this situation?
BTW, you know the definition of a Redneck Pervert? Somebody who likes sex better than NA$CAR.
Just a random musing
Average Rating:
Poor Max. It's bad enough to be a pervert behind closed doors, but to get caught on video? Lump him in with the rest of them: Paul Rubens, George Michaels and Boy George.
Friggin wack jobs...

There's nothing even remotely this juicy at the BBC World News site that I visit each morning for my news fix. Rowdy really is a One Stop Shop after all. No need to go anywhere else. Thanks for the post.
