  1. Kate, has anyone told you that you’re awesome lately? Because you are.
    P.S. I totally guessed the GT-R.

  2. The Netherlands , where six per cent of the population is now Muslim, is scrapping multiculturalism:
    The Dutch government says it will abandon the long-standing model of multiculturalism that has encouraged Muslim immigrants to create a parallel society within the Netherlands .
    A new integration bill, which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, 2011 reads:
    “The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people. In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role. With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society.”
    The letter continues: “A more obligatory integration is justified because the government also demands that from its own citizens. It is necessary because otherwise the society gradually grows apart and eventually no one feels at home anymore in the Netherlands …”
    The new integration policy will place more demands on immigrants. For example, immigrants will be required to learn the Dutch language, and the government will take a tougher approach to immigrants who ignore Dutch values or disobey Dutch law. The government will also stop offering special subsidies for Muslim immigrants because, according to Donner, “it is not the government’s job to integrate immigrants.”
    The government will introduce new legislation that outlaws forced marriages and will also impose tougher measures against Muslim immigrants who lower their chances of employment by the way they dress. More specifically, the government will impose a ban on face-covering Islamic burqas as of January 1, 2013.

    Holland has done that whole liberal thing, and realized – maybe too late – that creating a nation of tribes will kill the nation itself.

  3. Here is a real drag racing car driven by my friend Nick Duda.
    Here is a Youtube clip
    If you have good speakers turn the volume up. The action starts @ the 2:00 min mark
    If Nick was at a dead stop and you drove by him at 90 mph and continued at a steady speed, he could catch you in 5 secs and he would pass you doing 135 mph.
    Nick has 900 hp. My own engine, which has just been rebuilt and will be dynoed the 1st week in January, will deliver in excess of 1000 hp.
    If any of you here are gearheads you can find out about my car: The Blackbird, here

  4. Very impressed they pulled it off!
    I’d love to see a best 2 out 3 race with the same cars/drivers/strip/day. Just wondering if the ranking would show up relatively the same.
    (for me there were a couple of surprises in that finish.)

  5. This stuff is a creep show but true. The people making these comments are teachers, social workers. People in Government.
    They call for the death of children, men particularly. The folks at this site did an incredible job outing these Femnazis.
    That they are high in the Councils or our bureaucracies plus governments should send a chill down anyones spine. The hate displayed is beyond belief, yet these are leaders of the Feminist movement.

    I received this link from a reader, I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like it. Crazy doesn’t begin to describe these wimmin.

    These are some of the same people who want to bring us government-run “high-quality” child care.

    “Those playing with computer climate models need to get outside, collect new data and take into account far more factors than they feed into computer models.”
    “ce sheets and glaciers grow and retreat for a great diversity of reasons. For scientists to argue that ice retreat is due to human activity is simplifying a very complex process. Furthermore, it is too cold in Antarctica and Greenland for ice to melt.”

  8. I’ve had a ride in a GT-R (didn’t get a chance to drive it though); that thing is fast. Without launch control it pulled over 0.7 g in acceleration. You can feel your stomach and cojones being pushed up.

  9. They should try that race with big HP cars like the lambo, hennesey venom, lingenfelter vette, and throw in a couple of 1000 hp, 1 -ton deisel trucks just for fun.

  10. My 2 door 67 Dodge dart (normaly aspirated, no power-adders, 340ci-400 hp), would have come in 5th.
    My buddy has a 68 4 door dart (also normaly aspirated, no power-adders, 383ci small block stroker-440hp), complete with baby seat in the back, as he drives it every sunday to church with the wife and young-un’s, and it would have come in second, probably even 1st
    The GT-R may be “fast”, but for that kind of money (“starting” at $110k) I could build a quicker car and a decent shop to park it in to boot!
    Not only that, after driving cars like mine and better (you know the kind I’m talking about, mr Black Fox) getting behind the wheel of one of those self-described “super cars” would be about as challenging as pushing a shopping cart with a whobbly wheel around at the walmart.
    And about as much fun too…

  11. Nice, but the Ferrari driver was late. He who snoozes loses. BTW in 1965 my Jr fueler would have put all these guys on the trailer. I’d be picking up the parachute when they caught me.

  12. Labour Party looks to slash Oslo immigrant dominance
    Leading Labour Party politicians in Oslo believe voters have too much influence in the city and are calling for changes to the country’s election laws after immigrant candidates snagged eleven of the party’s 20 seats on the City Council.

    In other words the left feels it is okay to rape our women make all other demands on our culture but hands of our cushy government jobs.

    “Obama: The 4th best president in history?
    Dec 14th, 2011 by Elizabeth Scalia
    I knew that anyone running for President needed a monumental ego to do so. But this is staggering.
    Next to Obama, Bill Clinton is a model of humility and rational introspection.
    He was the one he was waiting for.”

  16. Jeff Simpson – what a looser.
    A few years back he said I was out to lunch, just braying at the moon. Who is the brayer now, Jeffy.

  17. I must have downloaded a bad copy of that drag race… where did the Prius place? I guess they couldn’t get a Smart Car either.
    Thanks Kate, I’ve been suffering from a bit of NASCAR withdrawal lately.

    “Stop! Stop! Screamed the police. Then 20 armed men swarmed around my tuk tuk and hauled me out:
    Our reporter’s gripping despatch from China’s rebel village”
    “Hidden in the back of a motorised rickshaw, or ‘tuk-tuk’, I had travelled less than 200ft beyond a security cordon into a rebel village in southern China before 20 armed police chased after me and hauled me back.
    ‘Who are you? What are you doing here?’ they barked as they marched me to a police checkpoint for 90 minutes of interrogation. ‘Nobody is allowed to come to this village now.’
    My detention came as I tried to visit the fishing village of Wukan in China’s Guangdong province, where food and supplies have been cut off by a police blockade for the past week.”

    “Occupy activists stake camp at Obama office”
    A half dozen Occupy Des Moines activists are setting up a camp outside President Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters in Iowa and are vowing to stay there around the clock. The Occupy protestors rallied on Saturday against military spending and then some walked to the office for Obama’s re-election bid. No one was there and the doors were locked.
    The protestors say Obama staffers aren’t listening to them and they will stay until they are satisfied. They have set up two tents and put up a sign on the door declaring it “Obama’s former headquarters.””
