Barack Obama Quote
“When I am this party’s nominee, my opponent will not be able to say that I voted for the war in Iraq; or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran; or that I supported Bush-Cheney policies of not talking to leaders that we don’t like. And he will not be able to say that I wavered on something as fundamental as whether or not it is ok for America to torture, because it is never ok‚ I will end the war in Iraq‚ I will close Guantanamo. I will restore habeas corpus. I will finish the fight against Al Qaeda. And I will lead the world to combat the common threats of the 21st century: nuclear weapons and terrorism; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease. And I will send once more a message to those yearning faces beyond our shores that says, “You matter to us. Your future is our future. And our moment is now.”

Colani’s Truck
1997/2002. Truck based on a DAF chassis, and Spitzer silo truck on a Mercedes Actros chassis. Just why the automobile industry never adopted Colani’s ideas, which he has propagated for 30 years, and never put the series into mass production will remain one of life’s great mysteries. www.bangertinternational.de/colani/images/images.php
Colani’s Speed-bike
1989. Rollout of the futurist concept study for the high-speed Utah 8 two-wheeler in Berne, Switzerland. This motorcycle was specially created for an attempt at the world land record held by Utah legend Don Vesco (518 km/h). Colani intended to then go for the absolute world record of 659 km/h for wheel-based vehicles – held by Bob Summer driving his “Goldenrod” and dating from 1965. The high-speed vehicles amount to the climax of his ingenious focus on this type of formal solution.
Colani’s Mazda Prototype
Colani exhibition in Karlsruhe, southern Germany
In front: 1983. Flying object for the road. With his prototype for Mazda, Colani took the principle of wing cars to the extreme. The plan was, at a later stage, to use a 4-chamber Mazda Wankel rotary engine, capable of between 960 and 1400 hp for the Le Mans vehicle, which was only available as a life-size model,. The wing shape was meant to enable this veritable powerhouse to accelerate to speeds of 350-380 km/h. www.bangertinternational.de/colani/images/images.php
More Flying Tigers
Following up the R. T. Smith photo of Flying Tigers P-40s over China, here is the cover of my history of the American Volunteer Group, published last fall by HarperCollins. The cover photo was taken by George Rodger for Life, though it wasn’t published in the magazine. From left to right: Jack Newkirk, Hank Geselbracht, Bob Layher, Bill Bartling, and Jim Howard at Rangoon in January or February 1942.

The Legend of Barack Obama
The Legend of Barack Obama
In logging camps throught the United States, a tall tale is beginning to spread.
I heard his father came over here on a rowboat using just one arm! He used the other to salute the flag the entire trip.
When Barack was just a boy, he made his classmates weep with his hopeful and rousing recitation of the alphabet.
“A, B, C, and D together with E, F, and G can bring us closer to H…”
I once saw him plug every loophole in the Illinois tax code using just his fingers and toes!
Don’t forget his trusty sidekick, Freedom, the talking bald eagle that lays eggs filled with love!
Basically outlines my belief in Barack Obama.
