Cognitive Dissonance

Yesterday I saw a Hummer H2 with a Kerry/Edwards sticker on it.
Normaly, the Hummers around here have stickers for the other fellow.

Hummers need gas, and Bush isn't exactly winning anyone over with his economic strategery...

Funny you should call him that: in Brian Behan's "The Queer Fellow," the onstage prisoners refer to another prisoner, whom we never see, as simply "the other fellow." This man allegedly killed his brother and chopped him to pieces, and they report his hanging at the end of the play. (Hey, it's Irish drama -- you have to expect morbidity.) I'm not about to wish a hanging on W., but he is coming to remind me of that "other fellow."

"The other fellow" is often used as a coy reference to the devil, which is why I chose those words.

Grrrr....

Who, who, who needs a damn military vehicle for day to day life!?!

The Hummer H2 is not a military vehicle. It's a Chevy Suburban playing paintball. Seriously, the H2 is built on the same platform as GM's largest SUV's and given a military style body. Still no reason to drive it day to day, but it's the H1 that's the military vehicle (and quite a bit pricier than the H2).

Ah. My mistake. Still, Hummers annoy me greatly, but thanks for setting my facts straight on that one, Richard.
