ITMFA IN IOWA: STATE TRIES TO TAKE BACK GLEN’S PLATES!–Glen Keenan got his shiny new personalized license plates on Aug. 1.The polite, but firm, letter from the Iowa Department of Transportation arrived a week later.If he would be so kind, the state told him, please “voluntarily surrender” the new plates. Within 10 days. In other words, pronto.
“I don’t know what to do, but I don’t think so,” said Keenan, a lifelong Iowan from Jefferson County. “It’s not an obscene message. I really don’t understand why I wouldn’t be allowed to keep them.”Keenan tells me this is what his personalized Iowa license plates say: ITMFA.
There were two complaints about Keenan’s plates similar to the objection somebody had in Chapter 1 of Iowa’s personalized license plate problem.Surely you remember John Miller of Boone, the guy who put the “F NADER” plates on his Corvair. The state has ordered the plate be revoked, and the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa is intervening on his behalf.The first step is an administrative hearing. Keenan says he, too, is in contact with the ACLU.
Miller’s and Keenan’s are two of the nine state-ordered revocations this year.”I don’t know what the big deal is with mine,” said Keenan, 41. “My plate isn’t vulgar. It’s simply a series of letters than can mean any number of things.”
Really?
“Sure,” he said. “It can mean ‘Impeach the Miserable Failure Already.’ Or it could mean ‘Information Technology Masters Fine Arts.’ You could think of lots of things. I mean, any vehicle with an ‘F’ on the license plate could be objectionable to somebody.”
Which is why they are treating migraines at the Iowa Department of Transportation. And possibly elsewhere.The Web site also has pictures of vehicles in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., with the same message on license plates.What will it take for Keenan to ditch the plates?
“I’ll give them up if Bush is impeached or when he’s no longer president,” Keenan said.

THE IMAGE OF AMERICAN SPIRIT–I believe in these difficult and mean-spirited times in which we live there needs to be a message of hope.
Just a single image that speaks to us of love, harmony, peace and joy.
An image that suggests the universal brotherhood of man.
I have found that image, and I ask that all of you take a moment to be inspired by it.

A RELIGIOUS ETIQUETTE LESSON–The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in therace again, and it won again. The local paper read:
PASTOR’S ASS OUT FRONT
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered thepastor not to enter the donkey in another race.The next day, the local paper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR’S ASS.
This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get ridof the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. Thelocal paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline thenext day:
NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.
The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get ridof the donkey, so she sold it to a fapmer for $10. The next day the paperread:
NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10
This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back thedonkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next daythe headlines read:
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE
The bishop was buried the next day.The moral of the story is….being concerned about public opinion canbring you much grief and misery…and even shorten your life. So be yourselfand enjoy life… Stop worrying about everyone else’s ass and you’ll be a lothappier and live longer!!!!!!

JESSE ROOKE FEATURE ON BIKERNET RADIO–Thunder Bob Has Jesse Rooke in Bikernet Radio. Jesse is an interesting guy.
He was born and raised in Phoenix, got into the custom scene after success in kart racing. Early in 2002, contemplating a full-time focus on his kart-racing career, he happened to watch Jesse James on the Discovery Channel. Within six months Rooke had created his first custom bike Dinah. The bike got noticed, winning Best in Show at the 2002 L.A. Calendar Show and was featured on television and in magazines.
His latest bike Darla (pictured), takes the metric class championship at the AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building at Sturgis!
