The news headline today is “trucks continue to dominate U.S. auto sales”.

1. Ford F-Series 355,438
2. Chevrolet Silverado 310,896

The two top spots go to large, wasteful, poorly engineered, U.S. made monstrosities that are being purchased by eighteen wheeler wannabes that don’t have enough sense to know that vehicles are the biggest waste of money that you can buy and are even more damaging to our environment. What’s worse is that the buyers are often the same gun toting redneck a-holes that backed the war in Iraq from the beginning and fell for all the lies and deception that really point to a long standing war for oil that is only being exacerbated by their poor financial and ecological decisions.

Are you not listening? Al Gore has been bulking up and he’s coming over to kick your ass.

It’s time for change.

If you don’t need a pickup truck on a regular basis, don’t buy one! Do you really need a Ford Excursion to haul around your two kids and groceries? Do you need an F-350 to occasionally pick up some crap at home Depot? Do you get 8 miles to the gallon on your drive to work? Did you pay in excess of $40k for that beastmaster of a vehicle that won’t even fit in your garage? Did you offset putting money into your kids’ 529 college savings plan because you “had” to buy your truck?

Well then, you are an a-hole. Welcome to America. It doesn’t surprise me why other countries have such a bad impression of us.
