I know, this is 3 days late, but it's just too weird. Just when you think the world can't get any fricking stranger Dick Cheney shoots a 78 year old man in the face. And he was a friend of his. Then he has a heart attack (the victim, not Cheney), but it's just a minor heart attack (caused by the buckshot in his chest).

And then Cheney runs away back to his bunker. The first thing I thought when I heard that was that all of the hunters I used to know when I lived in Austin really liked to drink when hunting, somehow it made killing the little animals more fun. Listening to Randi Rhodes' show tonight, she and some callers actually suggested the idea that maybe that's why Tricky Dick went missing for like 18 hours afterwards. Either that or they were waiting a few hours to see if he was going to live before letting anyone know.

I have to admit I'm enjoying the (liberal) media's take on this. Jon Stewart actually took an International Foods Flavored Coffee break to 'celebrate the moment' (remember those commercials?), and David Letterman is on a big roll.

Honestly, what the hell else do we need to hear from these psychos before we turn on them? Brownie has been squirming and whining about being a scapegoat... Scott McClellan (another proud Texan, yea!) has been dodging reporters questions and actually walked out of the briefing Tuesday. Why do they think they can just not answer questions, ignore us and deny everything and they can get away with it?

Oh yeah, because it's been working for six years? I'd say I give up, but that's what they want us to do.

But it's hard to ignore 11,000 FEMA trailers all sitting together in a swamp in Arkansas rotting while the Katrina victims were all kicked out of their hotels this week. Especially when my very stable friend in New Orleans is mentioning asking her doctor for antidepressants because the daily hassle of fighting her mother's insurance company, the government inspectors, contractors and more is driving her crazy.
