OK, even though i haven't done a Hummer count in AGES, I am still so steamed whenever i see them on the road. I also rarely read Salon, but check out the homepage article for today:
The Short, Disgusting Life of the Hummer
A few good nuggets:
1. Cannot believe that 75% of the cost of a Hummer used to be tax deductible.
2. "The H2 uses more energy in its manufacture and for fuel in its first 24,000 miles on the road than the Toyota Prius does in its entire lifetime."
3. "Regis Philbin stars in a commerical for the Hummer H2."
4. "After years of serving as an unofficial spokesperson for the urban assault vehicle, Arnold Schwarzenegger, now governor of California, decries global warming and converts one of his personal fleet of seven Hummers to run on hydrogen. "
Read this article!!
Also, I finally had time to check out the Kitchen Dog Theater, which is a brisk 10 minute walk from my apartment. I went to see Edward Albee's "The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia" which is about an architect who decides he's fallen in love with a goat (and has intimate relations with her), and his whole family freaks out. It was very loud - lots of yelling, but surprisingly good! Edward Albee is the dude who also wrote "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", which i saw on Broadway with Kathleen Turner for my 27th birthday!
The Theater was awesome - very indie, and there is even a cool art gallery inside! I am so glad I went to see the play there and just another little gem that I've found in Dallas.
