A Flying Rip . . . Rant . . . . Rave . . . .

The H2 . . . . and its owner . . .

I see an H2, the Hummer, and I can't help but think, "What a pretentious asshole!" Can anyone explain to me what the purpose is of driving one of those monstrasities?

They are the total screw the envirionment vehicle. Oversized, overweight, and ridiculously low gas mileage, 9.6 mpg according to about com. Because they weigh over 8,500 pounds, they are considered "heavy-duty vehicles" and thus not required to meet any kind of EPA regulations. I guess it takes a vehicle this large and "powerful" to get the ego of its owners from their suburban home to the grocery store and back. Perhaps if all of the Hummers were taken off the highway, the demand for gas would drop significantly. There is simply no reason for anyone to drive one except they have too much money and too little regard for the planet.

But they are typical of the Bush Republican. Overblown, pretentious, and the epitome of the UGLY AMERICAN.
