I knew it was only a matter of time before he played the race car.

It will be the first car to start turning left than gradually swerve to center till it wins.

FTFY and revealed your stealth sarcasm tag, thereby ruining the joke for everyone.

Well, you've pre-empted - aborted, if you will - a nascent thread, an unborn, living child with a beating heart, with unimagined potential, destined for greatness.

Thanks. Thanks loads.

You magnificent bastard.

Actually, this shouldn't be overshadowed either.

Jokes Aside:

I've always thought a Democratic candidate could do this right if they played it off with the right spin. I'm not sure Obama will succeed. First point -- It's a bottom tier team (but with a popular old school driver.) So he gets plus points from Schrader fans, it's cost effective (sponsorship costs less) AND it can be totally spun as "helping out the struggling little guy" in an era of big corporate NASCAR teams.

The potential "FAIL" comes from two things. First, BAM is a crap team that has only raced once this season and isn't even as competitive as it USED to be (which was not much.) It might not make the race, and could easily become the butt of many jokes. Even if it makes it in, the car will probably go 20 laps before falling out with "brake failure."

ALSO (and this is big) BAM racing changed to Toyotas from Dodge, hoping for factory support. Toyota is at best grudgingly accepted in NASCAR. Beyond that, you can bet the Republican pundits will be filled with extreme levels of false outrage over him sponsoring "ONE OF THOSE DAMN FOREIGN CARS TAKIN' OUR JOBS!!!11"

Frankly I don't give a flying fark what Obama wastes his money on. He could buy me a solid gold keg of beer and I'd tell him to go fark off - he is not getting my vote after the FISA fiasco

Ladies and gentlemen, you see before you the raison d'etre of the Fark Politics tab, if not Fark itself.

Upper. farking. Deck.

So the tires are black and the car is sponsored by M&Ms, which are chocolate. That means that if you want change and you vote for Obama because he's black, you're a racist.

What are you talking about? I could have sworn I heard a windshield breaking in the parking lot after he hit that one.

Ghastly, what can I say that hasn't already been said? Oh, yeah, will you be the father of my love child? It may require some surgeries on my part, but truly having someone so brilliant father my child would be worth the price.

please do slow down a little bit everyone, i'm feeling really overwhelmed right now. and for fark's sake, can someone please teach RocketRod how to properly and completely quote someone? i mean seriously, it's not rocket science...

The tires are the NFL, and you see the evil white man discarding them for fresh units. The M&M car symbolizes Obama's multicultural views; red for native American, yellow for Asian, green for Irish, etc, in addition to his former pastor's belief that everyone is chocolate on the inside.

Not only did Ghastly do something amazing for us today, Ghastly did it using the palindrome race car.

And that's pretty slick.
