"A one-of-five 1965 Ford GT40 Roadster will be auctioned off at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Cernobbio, Italy on May 21. The car was built in 1965 as a prototype by Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations center in England, and is one of four surviving examples.
The Linden Green example crossing the block was raced by John Whitmore and Bob Bondurant in the 1965 Targa Florio, running as high as third before it was forced to quit after being damaged. The car, chassis GT/111 was lost after the Targa Florio, waiting to resurface until 2006." The GT40 was one of the most beautiful race cars ever. Lot's of nice pictures at the article. Check it out.
From the, "Holy Shit, That was Close!!" Department comes this extraordinary display of self control-
Somebody is gonna get their ass kicked for that. H/T- Roger
Speaking of Ass Kickings....... Here's a good place to start- The Left Finds a Way to Display Their Hate For Palin & Jesus in One Exhibit You'll just have to go there and see the Artwork to appreciate it. By all means, follow the link to check out the others. Maybe if Christians or just plain old good Americans started killing and beheading people like the Muslim Ragheads do when insulted...... Nah. That's just crazy talk. An asskicking would be sufficient.

"As a result of discarded fluorescent lights, including CFLs, U.S. landfills release into the atmosphere and in stormwater runoff upward of 4 tons of mercury annually, according to a study in the Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association." I guess Mercury Poisoning is better than CO2 or some shit. Don't forget, incandescent bulbs will no longer be available after this year thanks to the EnviroNazis.
And some more exciting economic news for ya - March Madness: U.S. Gov't Spent More Than Eight Times Its Monthly Revenue "“I'm really concerned,” Bowles told the committee last month. “I think we face the most predictable economic crisis in history. A lot of us sitting in this room didn't see this last crisis as it came upon us. But this one is really easy to see. The fiscal path we are on today is simply not sustainable." When people like Erskine Bolwes start saying this shit you should REALLY get worried about the Boning coming our way. Plan Accordingly.
