Hump Day Humor, LMAObama

This is the best site for great funny captions, a little on the edge of politically correct

Maybe I just over analyze, but do you think there is a reason that the Presidential Election

always comes on Leap Year?  I was kinda thinkin' it's because we take a flying"leap" of faith.

Don't know where I'd be without my friends sending me stuff in email....thank you all!

 

Dakar Rally 2012

Deemed as the toughest off-road race in the world the Dakar Rally is now in South America 

as the original Paris to Dakar route became too dangerous after 9-11 for various reasons.  The route covers over 3,000 miles of grueling terrain, testing man and machine.

Happy New Year 2012

My Wish for You in 2012
May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts. 

May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for £50 notes. 

May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!

May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy

May the problems you had, forget your home address! 

In simple words ............

May 2012 be the best year of your life!!!

Political Satire

Sent in email, love the painting and sentiment.  If we allow our country to fail, 

we will all suffer just what we deserve.  I try to avoid political commentary, 

as I strongly believe in each person's right to their own opinion, however, I also

believe in keeping a sense of humor no matter the circumstances.

So I said to him, "Barack, I know Abe Lincoln,

and you ain't Abe Lincoln ." 

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.  You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.  You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.  You cannot lift the wage earner up by  pulling the wage payer down.  You cannot further the brotherhood of man  by inciting class hatred.  You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.  You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”

.. Abraham Lincoln

Celebrate the Deuce

This is the 80th anniversary of the great "Deuce" and the 

Grand National Roadster Show will be celebrating with 80 driven Deuces on display and more.

1932 is an important year in American history and culture. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to office at the forefront of the Depression; Amelia Earhart became the first female to complete a solo transatlantic flight; the Yankees won their fourth straight World Series, and Ford Motor Company introduced the first affordable mass produced V-8 powered car - the 1932 Ford Model B also known as the "Deuce"

 
The Deuce is the quintessential car to modify into a hot rod. Its unique design and rarity have led to the construction of some of the most beautifully designed hot rods ever built. 
 
1932 was the worst year in car sales history. Mainly due to the Depression, but also because Ford's Model A had become obsolete. People wanted a more luxurious, sleeker, faster car, all the while being affordable to the average American.
 
Edsel, Henry Ford's only son, was the key designer of the Deuce. Edsel's design was a car for the masses. It was practical and aesthetically pleasing, making it a masterpiece of automotive design. The Deuce was on sale for only six months, solidifying it as a prized commodity.
 
The following year Ford introduced several design changes, while other car manufactures followed his example of affordable, fast luxury cars.  The Deuce marks the end of an era and sets the precedent of another.

Faith Granger is the creative force behind this independent film and I thought it was a pretty good flick, especially considering the limited budget she had to work with.  Check it out.

I met Faith at the Grand National Roadster Show, LA just after the release and bought a copy of this film.  I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up this year for the celebration.
she comes to this Deuce celebration
