Certain people are raising questions regarding certain discrepancies in the Cheney hunting mishap story. These questions touch on the topics of sex, alcohol, hunting safety, and more.
I reflexively started a post with hard questions of my own regarding the general sanity and national identity of these haters of Dick, but, sadly, I now must confess that I, too, have come to question the nature of the hunting trip and the handling of the crisis.
It started with little more than a slight twinge as word spurted out that our Mr. Cheney had injured another man with a reckless ejaculation of shot. I didn’t realize it at the time, but what was bothering me was the emasculation of Vice Presidential powers as the news was released by a woman.
Then, as time wore on with no word from Cheney, as rumors started to swirl regarding mistresses and drinking and other carryings on, loyal partisans such as myself were left with mouths agape as our number two raised a real stink by continuing to hide behind the skirt of the handsome rancher woman from Texas.
Like some kind of turncoat, I actually started to question the bona fides of the Veep. I did something I have often promised myself never to do: I turned off Fox news and examined the facts objectively. And I found myself asking more than a few bothersome questions.
Was Dick drinking more than the single beer that he admits?
Has Dick’s gun always been so small and girly?
Was the performance of said gun affected by Dick’s drinking?
Did Dick Cheney have a mistress in the hunting party?
Is it possible that homosexuality is genetic? (Note – this particular question has deep personal implications for myself. More on that later.)
There were more questions, but these are the only ones I feel like writing down.
Hmmmm… Lonely nights on the ranch lead to reckless experimentation, games of domination, cowboy boots, maybe even some spurs.
Later, a lover’s spat, fueled by flowing liquor and countless doses of prescription meds, strengthens into a full fledged cat 5 disaster as the jealous one flies off into one of his well known tantrums. Except this time, instead of punching the wall or throwing some plates, he decides to really teach his bitch a lesson.
It all became crystal clear when Harry Whittington, much like a spouse who has endured decades of abuse at the hands of the man he loves, came out and apologized to Dick for having stupidly walked in front of his gun just as it was about to go off.
The contrition, along with a bunch of buckshot, was etched in his face but it had somehow become impossible for me to believe the ‘clumsy spouse’ talking points that my brethren in the conservative blogosphere were parroting. I knew the truth, and, for once, the cognitive dissonance was too overwhelming to ignore.
Thankfully, I’ve since had time to reflect. Oh, and I turned Fox back on.
Fact: If, indeed, the weekend went as the known facts would suggest, then Dick is obviously the dominant partner.
Fact: As the Dominant, or ‘Top’, Dick would play the role of the male. Dick was always the shooter, never the target. Therefore…
Fact: Dick, like Charlie Crist, is not a homosexual.
Phew. I’m glad we managed to put that controversy to bed.

This LA Times article speaks for itself. Go read the whole thing. I just want to add that, as illustrated by the excerpted bit below, even kids who are getting the right upbringing – homeschooling, bible study, faith based healing, et al. - can fall prey to the wicked secularist rantings of science based theorists.
As the session ended, Nicole Ableson, 34, rounded up her four young children. “This shows your kids that there are other people who are out there who believe what you believe, and who have done the research,” she said. “So they don’t think ‘This is just my parents believing in fairy tales.’ ”
Emily Maynard, 12, was also delighted with Ham’s presentation. Home-schooled and voraciously curious, she had recently read an encyclopedia for fun — and caught herself almost believing the entry on evolution. “They were explaining about apes standing up, evolving to man, and I could kind of see that’s how it could happen,” she said.
Ham convinced her otherwise. As her mother beamed, Emily repeated Ham’s mantra: “The Bible is the history book of the universe.”
So, why do we keep insisting on stocking our libraries and schools with so-called encyclopedias and other false texts? This child was almost lost. Next time, it could be your daughter, and the outcome might not be so right.

Thankfully, the hard working people whose job it is to protect our leader from any exposure to dissent were on the ball last night. Rabble rouser Cindy Sheehan thought it would be cute to wear a brazenly anti-Bush t-shirt to the SOTU address.
Cindy Sheehan finally got her invitation to see President Bush again, but before she set eyes on him at the State of the Union address, Capitol Police removed her from the gallery overlooking the House chamber.
The offense: her shirt, bearing an anti-war message and other “unlawful conduct,” police said.
Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was handcuffed and charged with unlawful conduct, according to Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider. The charge was a misdemeanor and Sheehan was being released on her own recognizance, Schneider said.
Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to Tuesday night’s speech and covered it up until she took her seat. Police warned her that such displays were not allowed in the House chamber, but she did not respond, the spokeswoman said.
Good. The shameless hussy has no right to speak her mind unless she’s ready to apologize to Our Leader for all the hell she’s put him through – rudely camping out near his house and shrilly calling for policy changes that she is in no way qualified to have an opinion about.
So, good job on ejecting the wacko non-conformist peacenik, but, unfortunately, in their zeal to protect Our Leader from ideas that hurt, the Thought Police seem to have targeted an innocent Republican, a strong supporter of the war and, of course, the troops.
Beverly Young, wife of Rep. C.W. Bill Young of Indian Shores, said she was ejected from the House gallery during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address because she was wearing a T-shirt that said “Support the Troops - Defending Our Freedom.”
Young said she was sitting in the gallery’s front row, about six seats from first lady Laura Bush, when she was approached by someone from the Capitol Police or sergeant-at-arms office who told her she needed to leave the gallery.
She reluctantly agreed but argued with several officers in the hallway outside the House chamber.
“They said I was protesting,” she said in a telephone interview late Tuesday. “I said, “Read my shirt, it is not a protest.’ They said, “We consider that a protest.’ I said, “Then you are an idiot.”‘
She said she was so angry that “I got real colorful with them.”
They told her she was being treated the same as Cindy Sheehan, an antiwar protester who was ejected before the speech Tuesday night for wearing a T-shirt with an antiwar slogan and refusing to cover it up.
Young, 50, said her shirt was not a protest but a message of support for U.S. soldiers and Marines fighting for their country. She often wears the T-shirts when visiting her husband at the Capitol and during her visits to see the wounded at military hospitals.
Sgt. Kimberly Schneider of the Capitol Police could not provide details about the incident but said, “She was not ejected from the gallery. She did leave on her own.”
Young’s husband, a Republican who chairs the House appropriations subcommittee on defense, was unaware she was removed until after the speech. He said he was furious about the incident.
“I just called for the chief of police and asked him to get his little tail over here,” Rep. Young said late Tuesday. “This is not acceptable.”
Beverly Young said, “Wait until the president finds out.”
Yeah, there’s gonna be hell to pay if Our Leader ever finds out about this. Folks should be able to enjoy the right to express their lockstep support of Our Leader’s policies, and everyone knows that the best way to support the troops and show fealty to Our Leader is to wear an uberjingoistic T-shirt. Or put on a campaign bumper sticker. Same thing.
Anyway, my point is that training obviously needs to be improved, because ejecting someone for expressing the correct point of view simply wont do.
