Great move by the GOP!

Lets get all of the mileage we can get out of this.

I know where I can get at least 10 signatures and probably 20. I had my hair cut today and dropped the bomb about the SUV taxes. 9 out of 10 of the gals working there, drive a SUV and none are the little bitty SUV's. Being working women, they were outraged. They would sign a petition, force their husbands/boy friends to sign the petitions and keep them going in the shop to get more signatures.

The one non SUV driver is your typical California hypocrite. She drives Mercedes and hates SUV and was making fun of us. Her poor husband is a partner in a successful contracting firm. I decided to verbally "bitch" slap her with her own words.

I asked her how many F250 pickup trucks her husband and partner had for their construction business. She said about 50.

Now the verbal bitch slap, I said, "You SUV hater, your husband's pickups will have the same penalty! You might have to sell your Mercedes to buy a bike or walking shoes if this law goes through. !"

She looked like a deer with the head lights on, as the construction business is getting tight due to our Davis recession. She went to the back to call her husband with her cell phone. She was screaming and crying as she listened to his reality giving her another verbal Bitch Slap!

I'm sure that petition circulators would love to enlist your help. If it happens, they're going to have just a few weeks to gather all of the necessary signatures.

Groan...(that's the "Darn, I wish I'd said that" groan! :-)

Seriously, excellent post, and I wish I'd been there where you were getting your hair cut!

All riiiiiight, Grandpa Dave!!!!!!!! You go, guy. I love the image of Mrs. Mercedes crying to hubby on the phone about going broke because of Governor Gray's tax programs. Hahahahahaha!

I hate SUVs myself, and I happen to drive a Mercedes, a beautiful 1990 420SEL V8. I think SUVs are an aesthetic blight, an offense to good taste everywhere, and they block my vision whenever I want to pass someone who dares to actually (gulp) obey the speed limit on Mulholland Highway!

But my beloved Mercedes gets 13mpg, and that's on a good day. So in terms of this bill, I'm every bit as "guilty" as a SUV-drivin' mom. As a result, I would be pleased to drive in caravan with the SUV-lovers, if it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't get the day off to save my life :-(.

My point? Even those against SUVs should look at what they drive and realize this bill is going to affect anyone who drives a big car - SUV or no.
