    how 'bout this for Tony Blair: a  "Johnny Player Special" (are those mini's?) they use them in Britain for taxi's --  you know, hop in, and the guy drives you around in circles never knowing where you'll end up....  (heehee).

    Palin?

    A funny car dragster. Comes out of the hole making a bunch of noise and smoke, Will turn on you and hurt you bad,.....but it'll all be over in five seconds.

    Re: I've been thinking...

    For Palin, I have to go with a 71 (or is it 72?) Mustang. 

    It looks good in an unconventional way, but falls apart when closely examined or if it is ACTUALLY put to the test. In either case, 70k miles and it's rust.

    10-4 on the rain...you don't have to shovel it!

    Keep a good thought, the next season to follow Pandering one we're in is Winter, and the salt will flow!

    Re: I've been thinking...

    Oregon Bob wrote that he believes our President to be a Lotus.

    As you can see, this comment stuck with me because it was written before the election which was quite a while ago.

    Well, as you may recall,, I happen to own a Lotus and therefore know what LOTUS stands for......

    Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious.  : )

     Also, everybody wants one but once you get one you  realize the aren't  very practical and they cost an arm and a leg!

    Re: I've been thinking...

    Hmmmm,

    Under the right conditions, wherein all systems cooperate, that Lotus is swift and sure footed, ain't it?

    Also, read my previous post on Palin. Hey gang, Who's yer daddy?

    Re: I've been thinking...

    The Lotus is an incredible vehicle, capable of amazing performance, but its performance is greatly diminished if the road is being sabotaged by its competition with potholes.

    mb66...By the way..kudoos on nailing Palin before ANY of the pundits!

    Re: I've been thinking...

    The Lotus was great at winning races, but a flop with the general public. Of course it has always had it's ardent, whacko, fringe fans.

    Other ways our President is like a Lotus:

    He smokes.

    We're in for a bumpy ride.

    Made of plastic.

    Lightweight.

    Changes direction with the slightest input.

    Exterior is nice, but the interior, on closer inspection, is cheap.

    Great ideas, poor execution.

    Very skittish when the weather turns bad.

    Only came with a three month warranty .

    Always feels like it would be better if only it had a little more power.

     

    Don't worry guys, this is easy and I'm sure I can think of more.

    Yes, LC, I'm sure you can. And so can I. That's why I'm going to suggest we stop this right here.

    M.B.-

    All in good fun!!! Not to worry.

    Now for some equal time to calm the masses.

    Sarah Palin:

    A soap box derby entry - Looked like a possible winner in the paddock before the  race, but when the starting gun went off... it was all downhill.

     

    John McCain:

    An old Ford Maverick of course! With a 302, three on the tree and a bench seat. Likes to burn oil. Some rust/cancer (But it has been taken care of)  A daily driver. No matter how much you polish it, it somehow reminds you of your cranky Grandmother.

    Smile everybody!

    Oh well, I guess I'm going to be stuck with my Lotus for at least the next three years and the same goes for the rest of the country with theirs!

    Re: I've been thinking...

    Davey-

    The quote you and many others  attribute to President Lincoln is in fact from a Book called The Book of Instructions Before Leaving Earth. (I think it was Old Testament- Maybe Moses.)

    Re: I've been thinking...

    Davey-

    I researched it.

    Mark 3:25

    Matthew 12:25

    I was wrong on it being Old Testament.

    Anyway, if you dust off your Bible and read the passages you will find it very interesting  and applicable I'm sure.

    Best wishes.
