This editorial cartoon appeared in this morning's edition of the San Antonio-Express News. Not only do I find it offensive to those of us who are pro-military, but this guy obviously knows squat about H2s - 12 MPG with those tires??? I WISH!
Anyways, Bruce Davidson is the editor for the editorial pages. He can be contacted at (210) 250-3478 or bdavidson@express-news.net. Feel free to let him know how you really feel about the nasty crap being published.

Well I just sent My tiraid off to this knuckle head. I hope I did My girl good. Had my college daughter proof read before I sent it. Wanted to at least sound half way intelligent. I wish I could mash trolls like KenP, DRTYFN, PARAGON, Dennis and some of you others. You know who You are and I admire Your sorry carcusses for the skill. I guess You either have it or You don't.
Well before I could get this sent i got the email to bdavidson@expressnewsnet.net returned with permenant error. Email address must be wroung or he is already getting overloaded.

So he'll get done reading your long-winded tirade sometime next year? Poor guy is probably going to claw out his eyes.http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
I wonder why he's not writing about how EVERY driver on the road is subsidizing the hybrids that are on the road. The cost of those little fad mobiles is much more expensive than what they're being sold for, and yet I don't hear any of those self righteous dunder heads spouting off about that.

Sorry Seth, it's in the trash.
I don't think it matters if it's the same day or not. KB regularly advertises the SUT, usually in the Fri-Sun editions. The evidence that part of the newspaper's management allows for trashing one of their advertisers based on opinion only and NOT fact should get some attention. It would have been different if the sketch was of a generic SUV - but that is undeniably an H2.

Honestly I might send him something, but there is a reason that I haven't subscribed to the Express-News for over 7 years now.

I finally called the the supervisor in charge of sales for the Express-News and threatened legal action if they called me or knocked on my door one more time.....if you hadn't guessed I HATE THE EXPRESS-NEWS!

Well, if the letters don't work, we can wait until after we get a good soaking rain this weekend, and take the Hummers out for a few donuts on his front yard. I'm sure Paragon can find his address for us. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Now, if you could only make it look like the reverse lights on the H2 are on, with Branch's name to the side of the car behind it and a completely terrified expression on the guy's face, I'd be thrilled.

Thought I'd write them a quick poem http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
“And then one day it came to pass
That GM built one big bad ass
With power to spare and steel galore
Yet frills and comfort and much, much more
A dream to drive on the urban trails
In comfort and style it rarely fails
Among the rocks and rugged hills
It climbs them all and never spills
But then came the greenies and leaf lickers too
To spew their garbage that’s not even true
They lie through their teeth and even more
They now say our beasts have started a war
But do not despair, just keep on truckin’
Ignore them all they’re not worth fussin’
Sooner or later they’ll fall on their ass
So give us a hill and a tank of gas”
