Talk about high jacking a thread...but Flash started it!

Pay no attention to the scarecrow behind the curtain, just pledge your loyalty, subject. Next, we brand the Mormons, then the Catholics and Jews. You don't own any guns, or know of anyone who owns them, do you? Do you? We see you have listed a questionable deduction on your 1040. If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. We're only here to stick it to the rich, and make the white think right.
Did you really think we want those laws observed? said Dr. Ferris. We want them to be broken. Youd better get it straight that its not a bunch of boy scouts youre up against... Were after power and we mean it... Theres no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there arent enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? Whats there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now thats the system Mr. Reardon, thats the game, and once you understand it, youll be much easier to deal with.

I sort of got the thread off on a tangent here so I thought I would be a good citizen and turn myself in.





Wife made a chocolate cake last night. I got my exercise going back and forth to the kitchen.
Anyone plan on watching any of the 24 hours of Daytona this weekend?
I usually watch part of it. JJ is in it as well as Mears with one of the co-pilots being Danica Patrick for Childress, Dinger, Petty and others. JJ has been sick over a week saying yesterday he could hardly get out of bed to be at the HMS function, pictures above.

CONCORD, N.C. (Jan. 19, 2009) - Two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart will attempt to qualify a No. 80 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet prepared by Hendrick Motorsports for the Feb. 14 Nationwide Series race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.
Stewart, the defending winner of the Camping World 300, has won the season-opening event three times - twice with owner Kevin Harvick (2005 and 2006) and once with Joe Gibbs (2008).
Should he qualify, the race will mark Stewart's first-ever start for car owner Rick Hendrick. The effort will be led by 2003 Nationwide Series champion crew chief Lance McGrew.
"After winning the season-opening Nationwide Series race at Daytona three times, we're going to try and get another one, this time for Rick," said Stewart, who has seven career Nationwide Series victories. "Hopefully we can go back-to-back for a second time and put the HendrickCars.com Chevrolet in Victory Lane. Rick and I have been friends for years, so it would mean a lot to me to get a win for him."
As a car owner, Hendrick has 13 total NASCAR victories at Daytona, including three in the Nationwide Series. He has won the prestigious Daytona 500 six times.
"Tony is one of the best drivers in the world," Hendrick said. "We know how terrific he is at Daytona, so I told the guys to build him a fast car and let him do what he does best. He's a great friend, and it's going to be fun to see him drive for Hendrick Motorsports for the first time."
