Boy do I love this.

What my facebook friends think about Obama's victory.

It's cute how people can have so much faith in someone so inexperienced and full of rhetoric.

So, in honor of Obama's nomination, I give you the Ten Cannots William J. H. Boetcker.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.

You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.

You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.

You cannot establish security on borrowed money.

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves.

They dug up the Plymouth...

and the tomb was filled with water. It's kind of creepy actually. I've been watching a bunch of old film reels about the burying of the Belvedere, and to see it lifted out of the concrete hell full of water was rather powerful. the shape of the slick coupe under 50 years worth of mud and tarp.

Any who, a part of the left rear fin was sticking out of the tarp and it was covered, and I do mean covered, with rust. Sad thing. I wonder how the gas and oil faired...

Well...

The Camelot's demolition is set to begin later this month. According to KJRH news, explosives cannot be used in the demolition because of its close proximity to homes. This, of course, is a major bummer. It's bad enough that they're bringing it down in the first place, but they could at least let it go out in a blaze of glory. Boooooo.
