This is already the most beautiful thing I've seen all week. A Dodge Charger kitted out to look like the famous General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard goes roaring down the street in Somerset, Kentucky and jumps a ramp and goes soaring through the town's water fountain.
Behold the stunt!
Okay, yeah the car got banged up a bit (the driver didn't get a scratch apparently, thank the Lord) but that'll buff right out. Throw on some Bondo and a good sanding and it'll be good as new!
Notice how this car is all-out faithful to the General Lee of the show. Including the Confederate flat on the roof. That's a really good touch, completely in the spirit of the TV series.
I spotted this clip yesterday and it is definitely one of the better pro-candidate videos that I've ever come across. This is the kind of thing that the more creative types of candidates' supporters should aspire toward. For a lot of reasons I really like this one.
Behold "The Dukes of MAGA":
So, about who I'm supporting in this election. Something I've very rarely tipped my hand about throughout the history of this blog...
As many readers know, I have a rule. It's one that I initiated after my own run for public office years ago, and the TV ads I made for that campaign. Here it is: I do not vote for a candidate if he or she runs a negative campaign commercial targeting an opponent. I made three commercials and each of them was positive, upbeat, humorous at times and serious when need be. There was another candidate in that race who went negative and I did NOT want to be like that. I went full-throttle the opposite direction. And I discovered something: when you're positive, you find creativity that you never knew existed. If I'm going to vote for someone, that person has to demonstrate that not only is he or she not in the race for the power, but also that he or she has vision and imagination.
That being said, at the moment I plan to be casting my vote, for the very first time, for Donald Trump.
If Trump runs a negative television commercial, he's lost my vote. So far though, he hasn't done that.
For now I intend to vote for Trump, and his running mate J.D. Vance. In my sincerely held belief, Trump was the most effective and proactive president that the United States has had since Ronald Reagan. His first term was an astounding success and I believe his second will be even better. He made some mistakes, especially with the people he chose to be on his staff and appointments. I like to believe that Trump has learned better. You won't find me wearing a red "MAGA" hat, but my heart is definitely inclined toward that direction. "Make America Great Again": what is wrong with that? Trump in 2017 began doing just that and I believe he stands to be an even better statesman in 2025.
As for the opposition: Joe Biden has been the worst president in any living memory. For all intents and purposes there has been no competent leadership in the White House for the past three and a half years. Kamala Harris however would be even WORSE.
In case anyone's curious, I'm independent. Have been for a very long time now. I don't fit in the political parties' scheme of things. That kind of thing never really had any appeal for me. It means that I'm an outsider more often than not but I get to live with my conscience that much more. I'm unaffiliated with any party. And right now, even if I don't vote for Donald Trump, he certainly has my support.
Who knows. Maybe I'll end up making a pro-Trump video too.
With the new season of Doctor Who now airing on the BBC (and very soon here in America on the Sci-Fi Channel, thanks for the tip Geoff!) a lot of fans are celebrating the return of the Doctor. Here's what one clever chap did: mashing up footage of both Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant as the Doctor from the revived series, with Waylon Jennings' classic theme song from The Dukes of Hazzard...
