My informant stepped out of the shadows of the underground garage to which he had summoned me.
“It’s a plot,” he growled ominously. “A plot against Cheney.”
“What do you mean, plot?” I asked, skeptically.
“It was no ‘accident’ that Whittington was in his line of fire. It was an order.”
“An order? An order from whom?”
He snorted in disgust. “Don’t be stupid. Follow the birdshot. Who stands to gain the most if Mr. Richard Bruce Cheney is brought down?”
I thought for a moment, and then it dawned on me. “You mean G..." He put a finger to my lips before I could speak the name, and nodded.
“That’s right. He’s been waiting for five years to take over as President, and now it looks like he’ll finally get his chance.”

Dick Cheney, Straight Shooter II
Rumor has it that the Vice President is now being recruited to represent the United States in the Winter Olympics. He is being asked to compete in an event where the USA is traditionally weak, the Biathlon. This is the competition that requires skiing and shooting.
Of course, as an 86 year old cardiac patient, skiing is not expected to be his strong point.
But anybody who makes an issue of it better duck!

Papal Dispensation
"Guess what?" said my wife, looking up from the newspaper, "The Pope says it is okay for married couples to have sex."
"That's interesting," I said. "You don't expect His Holiness to encourage sex."
"One odd thing, though."
"What's that?"
She buried her nose in the paper again. "For some reason he mentions you by name."

Karl Rove, Historian
Recently Presidential Advisor Karl Rove had this to say about the state of the union: "Republicans have a post-9/11 view of the world. And Democrats have a pre-9/11 view of the world."
Well, Mr. Rove, is it possible that Republicans have a pre-Bill Of Rights view of the world? And Democrats have a post Bill Of Rights view of the world?
Or maybe Democrats simply have a pre-Brain Dead view of the world?
