Newsweek: Obama Just like Lincoln?
2008-10-07 17:48:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Howard Fineman has no knowledge of history. In fact, it would not surprise me if we should find out some day that, in his original draft of this absurd comparison of Lincoln to Obama, he even spelled Lincoln’s name wrong.

LIncoln Aviator - intake
2008-09-14 13:50:00 While I'm on my dead Ford thread, I'll say that I've always been a fan of the Lincoln Aviator - that is, the Lincoln version of the Explorer. Unique pieces include 4.6 DOHC V-8 (shared with the Marauder and Mach 1 - but with several unique pieces of it's own), unique front suspension lower control arms with larger brakes, an entirely different interior with unique seats and dash (the best seats ever offered in the Explorer family), and more. I've enjoyed driving them, and while they are significantly heavier they are a far better drive. Unfortunately, the EPA ratings were 13/18 - which doomed the vehicle (and why Lincoln canceled this instead of the massively over-blown Navigator is IMHO a large part of their problem). Following (just to get them on our site and saved) are some pictures of the unique intake manifold I encountered on the web. The MSRP price on the entire "dressed" engine is $4200. In their parts catalog, Ford doesn't show the co...

2008-08-24 06:11:00 This album is with me for a long time, and I never had in mind to share at Loronix one day.

Let’s see.This is Ed Lincoln – O Melhor de Ed Lincoln (no date), for Musidisc, featuring well known Ed Lincoln cuts, blending instrumentals and songs with lyrics. Little I know about this album and I’m not an expert on Ed Lincoln discography to understand from which albums these tracks come from or the name of each special guest performing, but this is a nice album, especially for the late comers, a unique chance to get an overview of Ed Lincoln and then move towards to his regular career LPs. Tracks include:01 - O Ganso02 - The Blues Walk03 - Pergunt...

Lincoln takes 8,600 orders for not yet launched MKS
2008-06-03 05:38:00 Lincoln takes 8,600 orders for not yet launched MKS Despite the fact that Lincoln's first unique-looking car since the LS bowed for the 2000 model year isn?t due to arrive at dealerships until the end of the month, Lincoln dealers from across the country already pre-sold 8,600 MKS sedans. The new car is expected to be a make-it or break-it vehicle for the luxury brand, which recently only had what many see as dressed-up, more costly Ford products to sell. "When you look at the Lincolns they have today and what this car represents, there's no question it's a game-changer," said analyst Erich Merkle of IRN Inc in a Detroit News report. Part of the reason the car is selling already has to do with Ford's marketing of the vehicle. At last November's Los Angeles auto show, the automaker laid out its cards on the table, announcing the cost of the base car, at about $38,000, and the pricing of its options. More recently, the MKS made stops at over 300 of...

The Eagles are her favorite lyricists. During Bill/Monica, Secret Service agents report Hillary cried in her Baccarat glass of Gray Goose vodka to "Lyin' Eyes"...The irony of her "?We could even do it on the back of a flatbed truck. It doesn?t even need to be in some fancy studio somewhere" gambit staged on the banks of the Cape Fear River in Wilmington, NC wasn't lost on me.

"It was very difficult though, I have to admit," he told me at a recent party in aid of Barnados. "It's not just the accent, it's completely different culturally. It's like playing baseball. You are under so much pressure to get the take right – three strikes and you're out. It has been more like controlling one's own fear rather than acting."

Be stylish, Be elegant with Lincoln Parts By Anthony Fontanelle
2008-04-21 20:56:00 Lincoln is an American luxury automobile brand under the Ford Motor Company. It was founded by Henry M. Leland in the year 1917. The company was named after the founder’s childhood hero Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States. Lincoln started producing luxury vehicles not long before it was owned by Ford. Featuring powerful engine and unique styling, Lincoln squarely compete with the world’s leading brand and make it to the top when it becomes the best-selling luxury brand in the United States in the 1990s. Behind the success in becoming one of the word’s best-sellers are its reliable Lincoln parts. One of the remarkable models of Lincoln is the Zephyr which constitutes 80% of the company’s sales in the year 1936. The model’s name and style were inspired with the sleek lines of diesel-powered trains known as the Burlington Zephyr. Another road-breaking Lincoln car is the Continental. It was designed especially for Edsel Ford’s personal use. This model was put i...

McCain ignoring his Lincoln S&L lessons
2008-04-07 00:00:00 Then-regulator Bill Black was a cog in the Keating Five controversy that snared GOP presumptive presidential nominee John McCain in the scandalous 1989 failure of Irvine’s Lincoln S&L. In your blogger’s latest column for The Register’s print edition, Black said an item in the Arizona senator’s modest housing bailout plan — possibly allowing banks and other institutions a reprieve from mark-to-market-accounting rules that have created huge paper losses — is a recipe for disaster … “The really scary thing is when you claim you’re making things transparent and when it’s distorted in ways that aren’t easy to notice.” Black says. That’s what bugs Black about McCain’s accounting suggestion. If agreed-upon bookkeeping rules require certain investments get booked as losers at times, why change the rules when those losses do pop up? Black equates such accounting gimmickry to the distortions of mirrors, s... |
