This is the eleventh installment of the Salem-News.com original cartoon series Nota Bene by Leonardo by Salem cartoonist Glen Bledsoe.
(SALEM) - You're not going to let a few tree-hugging environmentalists scare you away from displaying your manhood on the road, are you? Doesn't America just take what it wants because it deserves it? Isn't America entitled to highways jammed with gas-guzzling Hummers or any other energy wasteful vehicle Detroit can design?
Americans need serious toys, man. Show your patriotism by revving it up at traffic lights. Petro-Macho! Let the Euro-weenies squirm when you start talking gallons-to-the-mile instead of miles-to-the-gallon. Suck it up, America. You are Entitled. You are the top of the food chain. It is your birthright.
Besides, the price of gas is dropping. The President wants to make sure you feel good about the state of the oil nation just before you vote. What's a little global warming among friendly nations anyway? And Canada can be counted as one of America's friendly nations, can't it? We will be ever so grateful When the Cornbelt Moves to Saskatoon. You'll soon see for yourself.
This message brought to you by CTC (The Committee for a Tropical Canada) which invites you to take a joyride each and every day.
