This is the
exact and perfect example of why we save everything.
This car has been built with all of the “junk” laying out back in the pile, and under the work bench, and stuffed in the rafters. All this guy needed was a little time on his hands.
How cool is this? Look closely at all the various components.

Ghost Mines of Kenneccott Alaska....
Kenneccott Mines was a thriving mining camp when the richest known
concentration of copper in the world was found there in 1900. The
development of the ore began immediately, bringing high profits to the
state. However, the high-grade copper deposits were exhausted by 1939
and the camp became deserted. Currently the site is open for tourists
who come to see old mines and abandoned buildings.

Moonbats Sing About "Obama That They Used to Know"
The despondence in their messiah not turning out to be what they thought is actually
quite funny. This is a parody ( although they are serious) done to the Gotye’s song "Someone that I used to know"

You Better Not Have Parkinsons and Watch a Bike Race In England...
...I'm sure the lady in the Burka was left alone. (snark)
Mark Worsfold, 54, a former soldier and martial arts instructor, was arrested on 28 July for a breach of the peace shortly before the cyclists arrived in Redhouse Park, Leatherhead, where he had sat down on a wall to watch the race. Officers from Surrey police restrained and handcuffed him and took him to Reigate police station, saying his behaviour had "caused concern".
Unreal... talk about profiling..

Sprite.....
Sprite is a transparent, lemon-lime flavored, caffeine-free soft drink, produced by the Coca-Cola Company. It was introduced in the United States in 1961. This was Coke's response to the popularity of 7 Up. It comes in a primarily silver, green, and blue can or a green transparent bottle with a primarily green and blue label.

Conspiracy or Not...??
MR B. over at "In The Middle of The Right" links to some interesting article on the Aurora shooting
is there more here than meets the eye? Go check it out to see what you think.
Here's 10 points from one of the articles:
1. James Holmes had no job, was earning unemployment but was able to purchase close to 10k in weapons, explosives, and tactical equipment, and this all happened within 2 months. The chances that Holmes could afford to finance this on his own is highly unlikely. Someone helped finance this attack, follow the money and we will find the masterminds.
2. The testimony of 2 key eye witnesses totally contradicts the official story of there being one shooter, with no accomplice in the attack. One witness testified that the tear gas canisters came from both sides of the theatre, a second witness testified that before the movie began he saw someone sit down in the front row, and shortly after sitting down his phone rang and instead of walking into the main lobby to take the call, he walked over to the emergency exit to the right side of the theatre opened the door and looked to be signaling someone outside the theatre. Shortly after the shooter made entrance through the emergency exit and commenced his attack.

Threat Alerts in 2012 Europe
I got this in an email. H/t to John B.
The
English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Libya and have
therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though,
security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross."
The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea
supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to
"A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance"
warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The
Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the
Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been
used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The
French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level
from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and
"Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's
white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy
has
increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate
Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and
"Change Sides."
The
Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress
in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a
Neighbour" and "Lose."
Belgians,
on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried
about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The
Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These
beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a
really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia,
meanwhile,
has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate."
Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the
barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has
ever warranted use of the final escalation level.
A
final thought: Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and
Rome is in disarray. Welcome back to 401 BC.

Pa-pa-pa-parkin Meters......
A parking meter is a device used to collect money in exchange for the right to park a vehicle in a particular place for a limited amount of time. Parking meters can be used by municipalities
as a tool for enforcing their integrated on-street parking policy,
usually related to their traffic and mobility management policies.
Good bye '69 We Hardly Knew Ya.....
This video shows the owners of a burning 1969 Chevy Camaro berating Ill. firefighters for their response Saturday afternoon.
A woman yells, ”Oh, my God!” and “Water!" before screaming, “Is this your first fire?”
The Arlington Cardinal reported that the vehicle became fully-involved with flames as firefighters connected to the hydrant and charged the line. The fire was extinguished within about five minutes.
The Camaro was on display at a high school charity show and somehow caught fire while being transported home in a trailer.

Who is Roy Antigua?
To some, Florida resident Roy Antigua may have been a decorated member of the U.S. military, a CIA agent or a member of NASA.
However, authorities in Florida say the only thing they know for sure is Antigua is a phony, and they are asking the public for help in identifying his possible cons and lies. They are trying to unravel the mystery surrounding Antigua after discovering an enormous stash of fake IDs and uniforms in his home.
"We need to know, from start to finish -- who is Roy Antigua?" New Port Richey Police Chief James Steffens said at a news conference Monday according to The Tampa Bay Times.

Irish,
Me
and some buddies went camping this weekend in upstate NY, we made
bacon-wrapped corn on the cop which turned out awesome! Attached is a
pic (not me).
peel
the husk back, wrap 2-3 strips around the corn, roll husk back on. We
put it in tin foil, but don't think you have to do that if you wanted to
make it.
Regards,

PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .
I got the following "Put me in Charge" in an email. I did a little sleuthing to see how
legitimate it was and found this website which starts out like this:
On November 18, 2010, the Waco Tribune-Herald (WTH) published a letter to the editor by Alfred W. Evans of Gatesville. Since its publication, the letter has gone viral.
the rest is HERE
and here is Mr. Evans letter:
PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for
Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans,
blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want
steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women
Norplant birth control implants or tubal legations. Then, we'll test
recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use
drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your
home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be
inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your
own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or
you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of
trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We
will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo
and speakers and put that money toward the "common good.."
Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of
the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before
you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem,"
consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for
doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least
attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system
rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
AND While you are on Gov't subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that
is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will
voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov't
welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Another Case...Domestic Terrorism?
Woman opens fire and shoots 7....
The altercation apparently began as an argument aboard the boat, Quinn said. Radio One Detroit's station Hot 107.5, which plays hip hop and rap, was hosting the On Deck Sunday Moonlight Cruise. The event is touted on the boat's Facebook page as a nightclub atmosphere on a cruise from 10:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The Detroit Princess also provides a DJ for the cruise, playing softer music on the boat's top deck.
