Hey Dick...Yikes, Duck!

Maybe the gun nuts have the right idea after all. If all the right wing nut jobs agree to pen themselves in to those "shooting ranches" in Texas and take pot shots at each other, I say give them all the guns they want, including those automatic weapons the NRA recently made sure are available again. As you've probably heard (but not from the White House as they were obviously trying to keep this secret...from force of habit, I guess) Dick Cheney shot Harry M. Whittington, a 78-year-old attorney from Austin, who is a longtime supporter of President Bush and longtime friend of Karl Rove. This happened in Texas (where else!) at one of these "ranches" where rich old "sportsmen" gather to shoot animals that have been herded towards their guns by real outdoorsmen. Apparently, this gives these guys a feeling of being real hunters. I would imagine if they miss the animals herded towards them, then they probably get to shoot one of the birds still in its pen. Whittington was shot by Cheney after the two men got out of the car they were riding in to shoot some birds...ah, the thrill of the hunt!
