If you want to really tick him off, replace the scythe with a hockey stick.

That's really low, man.

I am shocked that there wasn't an over-night guard out there to babysit these cars.
Or at least have maintenance over-night that can keep a watch.
The fact that this dealership did not have anyone watching such exposed valuable inventory is both cheap and stupid.

I've been thinking of doing the same thing. Using their strategy of "independent cells" to create cells or lone wolf infiltrators. This will sow seeds of paranoia among the members and bring down the network.

The larger question is, WHERE IS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY LEADERSHIP, to denounce these actions of some of their very own ? ? ?

Wanted For Questioning:

"...On one side sales of the gas-guzzling, pollution-spewing, downright dangerous behemoths continue to soar. And apparently, the more fuel-inefficient the better: Dealers are having a hard time keeping up with the demand for the Hummer H2, GM's new $50,000 barely domesticated spin-off of the Gulf War darling, which struggles to cover 10 miles for every gallon of gas it burns. The symbolism of these impractical machines' military roots is too delicious to ignore. We go to war to protect our supply of cheap oil in vehicles that would be prohibitively expensive to operate without it. "

And let's not forget how much of their money comes from naiive, well-meaning (I guess) people. I argue repeatedly with my wife's best friend who is constantly donating money (and lots of it) to these radical environmentalist groups. I say she is supporting terrorism, she says that the groups she supports don't condone these acts (although they do give money to ELF...what's the difference?).

The only response I have to that is...yeah...OK...I'll get the H1. The H2 is kind of a weeniemobile, after all.

These may very well be wackos from overseas. They used the term selfish "AMERICANS" suggesting they may not have been Americans...

What party ever acknowledges a negative?

They're probably from Eugene; they're "world" citizens.

"I would like to infiltrate one of these groups."


1. Starting now, you must NEVER bathe again.
2. Your t-shirts must be stained, smelly and have some Marxist political figure prominently displayed.
3. Start every sentence with "Bush Sucks man"....

You will fit right in.
