Here is somebodies ultimate vacation rig. 

The only question is, would BillyBob like it better than Pissed?

Let's have a little history lesson here, on our forgotten presidents, so we can compare what we have had with what we have now.

Below is James Garfield, the 20th President.

Interesting facts about President Garfield:

He was the last president to be born in a log cabin 

His father died when he was just over a year old, and he and his four siblings were raised by their single mother

He put himself through school by working as a carpenter

He was a major general in the union army

He was elected to nine consecutive terms to Congress

He could write with both hands at the same time, 0ne in Latin, and the other in Greek!

He had seven children

He had a 3000 book library at his home and was an avid reader of the classics

He developed a trapezoid proof of the Pythagorean theorem which mathematicians thought to be quite clever.

He was the second president to be assassinated.  

A few posts back I was making fun of the guy who had upolstered the inside of his truck with what looked like grass.

So what do I say for myself now when I realize that everything about this picture is appealing to me, including the holes in the seat, the ratty steering wheel, and the landscape outside?

Truly, there is no accounting for taste.

It appearst that the Indonesian President is not doing so well in his campaign for re election, at least according to this Daily Mail article. 

In spite of spending more money than all of his Republican challengers combined, and without a foe in his own primary, he is not making progress in the polls.

Perhaps that is because everyone is reminded of his incompetence every time they fill up their car with gas, or pay their electric bill. 

Or, they wonder who he is really working for when he conspires with the Russian President to "give him room" until the election.  What the heck does he mean by that?

Maybe the voters are annoyed when he raises racial tensions by sympathizing with the worst of the bawling race baiters, rather than seeking to calm the waters and encourage everyone to let the police do their job.

Could it be that the people are ticked that while they are forced to scrimp and save due to the bad economy, his family goes on expensive vacation after vacation, and his daughters are safely tucked away in an exclusive and very pricy private school?

It might be annoying to the taxpayers when the money they earn and entrust to the government is wasted on foolish investments like Solyndra and the Fisker electric car.

The average citizen might be offended that there has been no budget at all from Congress, with no leadership of any kind from the President against this unprecedented abdication of responsibility.

Over and over again, the people see an arrogance and contempt toward their rights, their money, and their wishes, and they are growing more and more angry about it.  It could be that no amount of money spent to promote his candidacy can overcome the stark reality of the chaos and poverty he and his party have created over the last three years.  Imagine the damage that would occur if he was given six more?

So what do you think of this retro redo of an old classic? 

Given what the after market could smith up for that bed, this could be the ultimate expedition vehicle.

Story here.

The new robotic sand flea and supposedly jump through a second floor window in the hands of a skilled operator.

Ok, now the main stream media has really gone too far!

Witness Frederica Wilson, Democrat congressperson from Florida, demonstrate her sense of sartorial splendor.   As in clown, circus barker, rhinestone cowboy, escapee from the asylum.  The people in her district must be so proud.

Some nice rusty iron.

Hallalujah!!  Let's hope this is what happens.

I dunno, maybe this guy likes sprouts, or grass.  Sometimes there is no accounting for taste.

A picture simply too cool not to post.

Hey, a candidate for restoration.....if you have about 30 thousand dollars.

The truck looks like a relic from a gay pride parade in the 60's.

Or, this is the perfect rat rod project truck. Take your pick. 

Heh!  Thanks to the Irishman for this great way to start a Wednesday.

Should you try to outrun the local police officer when he tries to pull you over for speeding on a Friday after a long tiring week, when you are only a few minutes from home?

This guy tells you why you shouldn't.

Because, basically, you will end up being this dude.
