Dick Cheney shot someone!

I immediately pictured him going berserk with a semiautomatic in the Oval Office when I read the headline, but sadly, the actual story is less dramatic:

"Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good."

Still, how many countries in the last fifty years have ever had one of their presidents/vice presidents/prime ministers shoot someone while serving in office? Truly America is the most gun-crazy second-most sure-fire producer of excellent headlines, after Japan greatest country in the world!

Ummm, I'm speechless

Words, was your brother an advisor for Daddy Bush's regime? Does that explain spud-boy Quayle? Quail shooting???

At least we know Cheney is alive now. I wasn't sure. But from the quote, "Harry was in the line of fire..." I thought perhaps there would be an international incident if he'd hurt Prince Harry.
