Video: Classic Lelouch Film - Le Rendevous

On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris early in the morning . The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine , through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.

The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground. If you haven't seen this before it is a classic, if you have seen it I apologize, but it's still a classic. I don't remember going through the Louvre quite that fast before.

LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION.............

1 Phineas Dlamini, my assistant programmer, can always be found
2 hard at work in his cubicle. Phineas works independently, without
3 wasting company time talking to colleagues. Phineas never
4 thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
5 finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended
6 measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
7 breaks. Phineas is an individual who has absolutely no
8 vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
9 knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Phineas can be
10 classed as a high-calibre employee, the type that cannot be
11 dispensed with. Consequently, I truly recommend that Phineas be
12 promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be
13 executed as soon as possible.

WHY indeed........from Rico

Some people out there actually do "get it" and some media manage to say so.

You'll NOT here this kind of talk from the lapdogs in the US media (a.k.a. the Propaganda Wing of the DNC(C) or soon to be The Ministry of Truth....awww hell, PRAVDA works just as well here)!

Ask yourselves WHY indeed is America the greatest enemy it's current pResident has?

Why does president Pantywaist hate America so badly?

Oliver Cromwell's Speech on the Dissolution of the Long Parliament

Given to the House of Commons
20th April 1653

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter'd your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil'd this sacred place, and turn'd the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress'd, are yourselves gone!

So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go!

How apt!

Meet Jack Schitt...........

Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and O. Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertiliser magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of Knee-deep Schitt, Inc.

In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt and the deeply religious couple produced 6 children: Holie Schitt, The twins; Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt and Bull Schitt, a high school dropout.

After being married for 15 years Jack and Noe divorced. Noe later married Mr. Sherlock and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.

Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt and they produced a cowardly son, Chicken Schitt. Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt were inseparable throughout childhood and consequently, married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony.

The Schitt-Happens children are Dawg, Byrd and Horse. Bull Schitt the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned with his new bride, Pisa Schitt.

Now, when someone say’s you don’t know Jack Schitt, you can correct them

Business partners.......from Rico

I know there have been a lot of "bailouts" and many may NOT remember the obscene amounts of taxpayer money that was spent to "save" Detroit's auto industry.

Just as with TARP, Detroit has learned what it is really like to have Obama as a business partner, and to have to deal with an "offer that cannot be refused" by Team Obama.

Ford was smart enough to say "NO THANKS" to the deal offered, but GM was not, nor was Chrysler.
- As I type this the tickers for FORD are at about $5.60/share, GM is at $1.29 and pending bankruptcy...government forced bankruptcy, and Chrysler is for all purposes history.

Golly! How can Toyota be trading at $77.24 without the all-wise and all-powerful hopey-changey Obamessiah's wisdom, guidance and partnership?

The latest news that save-the-planet carbon taxes and accelerated CAFE standards will be imposed on what is left of the American auto industry used to be called the "coup de grace"
....anyone still have any doubt about the intentional dismantling/destruction of American industry by these Marxists?

The Godfather or Tony Soprano would have been better business partners than Obama.

Free Medical Advice...............

If you are bothered by occasional or frequent constipation, look in the mirror and repeat the following phrase three times in succession when symptoms occur:
"My financial and personal well being are totally in the hands of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Tim Geithner, Rahm Emmanuel, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, and Al Gore"...

If that doesn't scare the s**t out of you, then you are probably destined to be backed up for the rest of your life.
