Uh-glee. I’ve seen this picture before.
I can only read the speed limit sign but it looks like it was taken in Mexico to me.
Lots of bicicletistas there and the speed limit sign and the paving looks familiar.
Looks like a bicycle race on a dragstrip. “My sunglasses are down on the floor somewhere. Hey, I can just reach them!”
I believe the full story and verification thereof is on Snopes
Ever been to the Moab Utah area? 500 sq miles of drop dead WOW.
Right on LnL! I’ve camped in Arches National Park. What an experience! If you can call scenery gothic, that might describe it.
Here is the poop on the photo at the top.

I took a bunch of pics at 70mph yesterdy, this one I got out to shoot. Wilson Arch used to be a pair of these 300 foot monsters but one collapsed last year. I can post the rest later on if you like
Actually, since I can’t seem to figure out the whole thumbnail/fullsize trick maybe RD can toss a few he likes up. they’re all on the server bud.
hey, look, idaho has a ‘year without a summer’ and yet the potato plants look great. the french fry market is secure…
The title of the picture above should be: Strike!

For those of you who post YouTube videos on the Revo…
There is a new custom dimension tool on YouTube. When you hit the embed link there is a tool that lets you set the width of the viewer in the embed code. It automatically adjusts the height to maintain the aspect ratio. Once you enter the width in the tool, it sets it up in the embed code so you don’t have to do it manually anymore. Remember the widths are 505 for the main board and 360 for the comments.
Ouch.

Why you should never go kayaking in the Okeefenokee Swamp…
You’ve got be kidding me! What kind of fool would go through there with a puny little fishing boat? Maybe an amtrak with a pair of fifty cals with them lit up.
Hey Nobody, email me at the address on the Contacts page. I have a question or two for you.
Okay Revo contributers, listen up. Here is how you do the “click to enlage” gig. You upload your photos using the tool as usual. You check the size of the photo you want, 505 or less for the main page and 360 or less for comments. You then click the “File URL” button which automatically places a link to the full size photo in the Link URL field. Then push “Insert Into Post” and you are done. Easy as hell.
Here is a diagram of how to do it. Guess what: Click to Enlarge.
Way too funny – Hot Air has the scoop on the poor unemployed Leslie Macko who was paraded on national television to tug at the heartstrings of America into extending unemployment benefits. Little did he know she was fired and convicted of prescription drug fraud.

President BARACK OBAMA was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nation two weeks ago in upstate New York. He spoke for almost an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American’s present standard of living. He referred to his time as a U.S. Senator and how he had voted for every Native American issue that came to the floor of the Senate. Although President Obama was vague about the details of his plans, he seemed most enthusiastic and spoke eloquently about his ideas for helping his “red sisters and brothers.” At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented Obama with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name, “Walking Eagle.” The proud President then departed in his motorcade to a fundraiser, waving to the crowds. A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they came to select the new name they had given to the President. They explained that “Walking Eagle” is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.
Probably shouldn’t have had that cigarette.
I smoked for about fifteen years. I wish I had all the money back.
‘Was Obama high during the 60 minutes interview?’
Dang bros, have y’all heard about this??

Miss Iowa Katherine Connors First Pitch after Miguel Batista Remark
Miss Iowa Katherine Connors. I am just sayin’…. um… yay Iowa!
Damn straight, yay Iowa!
I think someone forgot to tell Whoopi what is stands for, too….
Good interview worth reading:

Since this is going full on viral, I might as well post it here.
Antoine Dodson is Obama’s next Inner City Crime Czar.
Check it blee! Bro, was on!
Van, that was a great Walter Williams interview, I love that guy. Especially his insistence on making organ donation a profitable enterprise for the donors, lol.
One thing he said reminds me very much of RD as well.
“Again, it goes back to my ideas on liberty and my respect for individual rights. I try to write so that economics is understandable to the ordinary person. I have had a lot of encouragement to do so and I had a tenacious mentor at UCLA, Armen Alchian, who used to pick on me. We were in the hallway one day and he said, “You know, Williams, the true test of whether somebody understands his subject comes when he can explain it to someone who doesn’t know a darn thing about it.” I take pride in doing that kind of explaining. At the same time I try to convince readers of the moral value of individual liberty.”
Oh, by the way, I’m off to Disney in a few hours. I’ll likely be AWOL while I get mugged by the Mouse and his cohorts. Ya’ll have fun
Here is some pre-trip reading for you Locke.

Sweet. Will get to it. Something tells me this is gonna get expensive… I wonder if I can claim I’m stimulating the economy?
Yep, you are going to be passing out twenties like a Jehovah’s Witness passes out tracts.
I remember that piece now, liked it then as well as now. I hope you’re right about the kids liking it. They’ve been learning a lesson in saving with their change jar and now they get to blow the whole thing.. While I hate crowds I’m going to try damned hard to smile and play along with the girls. Why this place is such a mecca I’ve never understood but shoot, this isn’t for me, its for the kids
13$ for a soda I hear. Wheeeeeee…
$13 for a pop? Cripes! I bet they frisk down the folks before they get into the park; not for weapons, but for food and beverages.
It would appear that Levi, in getting back together with Bristol, was working on a reality show. It fell through and so did the reunion.
Young single mother’s can be excused for wanting to reconcile with the father of their child. Levi seemed to have ulterior motives. Todd Palin really needs to take Levi on a hunting trip to the North Slope.

Debt per capita by state. Once again, yay Iowa! (And good job Nebraska.)
Re: State debt.
I read the article, but I still didn’t get it. Oklahoma by state law has to have a balanced budget. Income has to equal spending. We may have bond obligations, it would seem others do too. Most of those horrendous amounts quoted in the story relate to deficit spending.
Took the caravan across the southern edge of Arizona today an the way into LA. They all got a first hand look at the wall that runs from Calexico Ca through San Diego. Had to point it out as before we left Maricopa county Az this morning I had a little talk with the front desk. She was a bit uneasy talking about the whole ‘boycot’ thing until I told her I thought Los Angeles was particularly ballsy in their condemnation. While Cali lefties give Arizona a hard time about wanting to build a fence and guard their border, it was San Diego that first responded to the illegal’s crime wave with a border fence. After building it the foot traffic moved south and eastward to Arizona, particularly the corridor below Phoenix. So Cali forces the ‘migrants’ into another state in order to protect itself, them condemns the next state over for trying to do the same thing…
I left with the front desk girl just staring at me, speechless. I don’t think she’d ever put 2 and 2 together like that. Seemed strange.
Nice education there L&L.
Nice obituary here, especially the last line…

Brad: His service was held at Camp Williams, Utah. That’s where I went to Jumpmaster School.
Damn. He liked to sail too. Nice name for a boat, by the way.

Debt per capita by state…
Lake Michigan also has no debt.
“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what the could and should be doing for themselves.”
—- Abraham Lincoln

I will never understand why people who can’t swim put themselves at risk by being near water without a life jacket.
Frankly, I will never understand why some people can’t swim.
I’m with you, RD. Amazes me that people who cannot swim go in the water…FIVE teenagers wading (none of whom can swim) all drown together.
http://www.thetowntalk.com/article/20100810/NEWS01/308100064
If you can’t swim, stay the hell out of the water. Or wear a life jacket (hence the name). It’s the same advice I give to people about flying; if you can’t fly, don’t jump off tall things. Or wear a parachute.
Seems pretty simple to me.
We have the same phenomenon here. I have no clue as to why people who see water and know that for them it represents a threat to their life but they choose to jump in…
