The Cheney Feeding Frenzy
By Bob Cinimel

After scanning 10 pages of headlines on Google News about Vice
President Dick Cheney's hunting trip to Texas, I noted that all
of them have the words "Cheney" and "shooting,"
but none include the word "accidental."
Having had a friend step in front of me just as I fired a 20-gauge
shotgun at a pheasant, I know exactly how Dick Cheney felt. I
was fortunate; all my friend suffered was a temporary loss of
hearing in his right ear. I shudder to think what the alternative
could have been.
It was a hunting accident, folks; they happen all the time.
Let's move on to more important things.
