It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Hey, just checking to see if you were paying attention!!!!!


Now, if they (libertarians) can just somehow figure out how to promote a candidate who can actually do something about the economy, run the country like a business--as in no deficit spending.... Back to the gold standard maybe???? i dunno, I'm no financial wizard, but to just keep issuing all that counterfit money sure doesn't make sense to me.... Hopefully, they can come up with a guy next time around....if you have any pull there Uncle Bob, I think someone who was a bit of an isolationist would be good, too!!!!
Sorry Bill, I'll get off the politics now!!!!!!

Yeah, right Pat.
Bet him getting that award the other day really frosted you anti-Obama guys. 
Personally I loved it.
Bob, I never knew Marty's T was on there. Funny how the guys who owned those hot rods would let the studios beat the heck out of them for what, $ 50 a day? In one scene in the Brain movie the door on Grabowskis T smacks into the header, denting it.

One doesn't have to be anti-Obama to be put off by the "award". The emptiness of the "award" is not the Presidents doing, it's a reflection on the Nobel Prize itself. We now award a "Peace" prize for good intentions? Maybe I should nominate myself for a Nobel in Literature.............all I have to do is "intend" to write a good book. Right?
This is very much like the silliness that dictates children playing a game where nobody keeps score, or everyone passes a class regardless of their having learned or not, just to "build" their self esteem. Reinforcing reward for doing nothing just further degrades a declining culture. It's sad to watch but difficult to stop. I find it most troubling when good people miss the point.
Yeah Pops, it looks like the two cars in the "race" hit wheels a couple times, could have easily bent a wheel, axle, smashed a hubcap (though that's easily replaced I guess), but still. On the plus side, they built the cars to drive not tow, so they sure were drivin' 'em!! Hollmann's car was one of my favorites as I saw it from time to time driving down Ventura Blvd, or Van Nuys Blvd.......one of the benefits of living in So.

Hey Bob,
Nice videos. I'm not a T bucket fan but I too loved to watch them on those shows in the 50's. Never had the money to build a really nice rod back then, just a few semi fast beaters. Wish I had a few of them back (don't we all)
.
Jack.
