Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
You know the creepiest thing about Cheney’s hunting ‘accident’?
I predicted it in my trilogy-in-progress.
Sure, in my version it wasn’t the Vice-President involved, but the President, his sons, and some security guys. And they weren’t human, but birds. With, um, arms instead of wings. And they weren’t hunting birds (not intentionally, anyway) but giant killer centipedes. And the outcome was quite a bit bloodier than what happened to Harry Whittington.
Other than that, I nailed it, nailed it cold. Life imitates art.

I saw my favorite comment so far over at the Dilbert blog: “he was a big shot lawyer”.
I was curious to know if the medical personnel were on hand when it happened because it’s standard procedure for both the President and Vice President to be followed around by them regardless, or if Cheney has some following him around due to his wizened old ticker.
And I keep thinking of Vice was a young inner city unemployed black man. “Yeah, like, my homey got shot and shit, but it was an accident. How far would he get with the media, the justice department, and who would be his “big shot lawyer”? (Bill Kunstler is dead.) I guess that’s why there called “courts of law” rather than “courts of justice.”
Hmm, which one is the art, and which one is life?
Good work Doug! No in addition to all your other most excellent traits, it turns out you have the sight! Do you like all my exclamation marks!
Yup, that was a fun bit from Scott Adams, fiveandfour.
Welcome back, BlueGal! I’ll have to pop by your place and see if you’ve posted today.
Ky, what Cheney did to Whittington is only art if you’re into Jackson Pollock.
Sorry, sorry. Ew.
Doug (sorry, Walnut), if you haven’t seen this, you really should:

Quotes from Guardian readers:
“I don’t understand why there are no reports on the condition of Dan Quayle himself after this shooting, or why Dick Cheney was hunting him so openly rather than resorting to his more normal underhand tactics.”
and
“Why is anyone surprised that Dick Cheney didn’t hit what he was supposedly aiming at? After all, when we were supposedly aiming for Al Qaeda, he’s the one who ended up having us shoot Iraq instead.”
Sam, those are great 😉 And so true.
