I was blamed for the high cost of gasoline today. [View all]

I had my bicycle at the gas station across the street, putting air in the tires.

Guy in an H2, fills up his gas hog and starts yelling at me.
"You tree-huggers are costing me money!"

I figures this guy has to be an FIB.
I was right.
Illinois plates, and "liberal hunting license" on back bumper.

I asked the dimwit why he was whining at me since I can't afford a car, and why he *HAD* to drive a fat gas-guzzling H2.

"I need it for my family!"

I remind him a minivan has more room and sucks less gas.

Guy tells me to fuck off and roars off down the station's driveway.

I notice guy had a Tea Party window decal.

Today's GOP.
