A Brazilian's NASCAR-WTF moment.

Isn't that idiotic?

for instance, Donald Rumsfeld was briefing Bush and he said that 3 Brazilian soldiers had been killed. W said "That is terrible" and then leaned over to ask Rove "How many is a brazilian?"

5. Whoa -- I just realized something: the "01" car is the ARMY car.
