I’m old enough to remember the 1957 Rambler station wagon my Dad loved, pulling a small family trailor all over these western states.
(And I agree the Gremlin and Pacer were ugly beyond comparison, until the Pontiac Aztek came along. With a few exceptions, the US auto industry lost its magic after the glorious 50s, 60s)
Gremlin? Ha! What losers.
I was a Pinto man!
I remember the Gremlin but wanted an AMX. High school buddy bought one and burned the tires right off. Then rebuilt the engine and took off without any oil - either forgot or drain plug fell out. Don’t remember much of the car after that.
Maybe neither here nor there in the scheme of thousands of lies, but here he is in his supposedly first year at Punahou, Grade Five, the teacher is Mabel Hefty and the children are all colours of the rainbow, so which one was singled out because her skin was dark? Another one of Bill Ayers recollections that found its way into 'Dreams' I bet.
"One of these things is not like the others...."
Well you see, Obama’s record matters, but Romney’s record doesn’t matter. At least that’s the way some Romney supporters act.
The left is grasping on straws
[ Anybody who votes for him is just looking for an excuse to vote for a liberal. ]
True, or just to Honkify the Presidency..
Cause if it Ever needed to be Honkified now is the time..
Is he shopped into that photo too, then?
Yeah, and he has still not apologized, but he apologized to foreign nations about this great country
What do you mean by that? There are any number of ‘coloured’ children in that first year he attended Punahou, which one would he have chosen to bully?
I’m inclined to believe it’s more likely the class photograph wasn’t available to the author when that paragraph was written. ‘Coretta’ seems an odd name for a girl of polynesian/japanese/filipino background, don’t you think?
‘Coretta’ sounds more like a memory of Ayres than a recollection of zero. I’m NOT defending zero, but the correct context is important.
Zero WAS NOT the second coloured child to attend that class.
Among other things.
I do! My college room mate had an AMC Concord. We loved that car.
So what are you suggesting a GOP rally at the NY morning shows, ABC, CBS, NBC? Call them out for their corruption or is it negligence or both? Then again, if folks can’t travel to NY, maybe rallies at the local affiliates? Or even local news offices? Wonder if the msn would even cover it or if they cover it would they honestly present it or brand it with their delusional mantra of “wicked, evil tea party supporters”?
Congratulations! You hit my perfect trifecta of ugly cars. I swore up and down the Pacer was the UGLIEST thing I had ever seen (uglier even than "The Thing"), then I saw my first Aztek. LOL on wheels!
Coretta was the name of Martin Luther Kind’s wife IIRC. Ayers was using a classic (in his mind) “black” name. More mythology....It’s a very unusual name, never read or heard of it attached to any other human.
I see that picture was taken before Ralphie put his eye out with the BB gun.
You’re spot-on as usual imo. There’s Ayres needing a ‘classical’ name for a negro girl-child, and what flashes through his mind but Coretta!
But as every lie has an iota of truth - it’s not hard to understand where this one came from. It would have been Ayres himself who was the bully, it’s an incident he remembers from his own childhood.
The class photograph must have come to light after the book was written. He’s so smart he’s outsmarted himself on numerous occasions. He must have thought Hawaii was full if white people...or that only whites sent their children to Punahou and zero was an anomaly.
