+Jalopnik takes a second look back at the 1979 +Ford Motor Company Mustang RSX concept

The RSX is just one of many Mustang-based projects over the last five decades that never made it to production. At least this one was a runner.

The 1979 RSX Rally Concept Is The Coolest Mustang Never Built
What if I told you that Ford commissioned a two-seater Mustang rally car designed and built by a legendary Italian coachbuilder that history quickly forgot? You’d want that car, right? Here it is: the ’79 Ghia RSX, the coolest Mustang that never was.

Sitting out on the stops watching Rosie watch the rabbit 3

In album 2013-06-20

Clearly at this point the rabbit is toying with the dog. Rosie got up and was watching and trying to sneak up on the bunny. One step, stop, wait, another step and so on. She never got closer than about 20 feet. The rabbit looked at Rosie, and took off to the right of the photo, right in front of Rosie, who tried in vain to go after it. Those short little legs are stout but she just has no speed.

Defending the U.S

Constitution comes before following orders for a very important reason

When someone joins United States military, they swear an oath to defend the constitution because without that rule of law, we have no freedom or security worth protecting. 

General Keith Alexander should be court martialed and imprisoned for his actions.

"I, ___, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."*

Over at least the past decade, Alexander has repeatedly broken the law either with or without the consent of two presidents. Instead of being punished he has been repeatedly promoted. An officer or soldier actually has a duty to ignore orders when they are illegal. 

Not only has Alexander spied on Americans and collected information without warrants, he has lied under oath to Congress. This is the sort of behavior that leads to tyranny. With friends like this, who needs enemies?
