Old white guys with guns

As if there were not hazards enough in this endlessly cranky world what with every idiot getting a license to drive a car, petty crime rampant and urban violence seemingly the norm, now even rural areas are at risk.

It seems U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney managed to shoot some 78-year old fellow hunter in a quail shoot. (No information on how the quail did.)

“Quail shoot” somehow sounds very sedate and civilized. But think about it … a bunch of old white guys wandering around with rifles shooting at what they hope are quail.

Gives me the heebie jeebies. I think I’d probably feel safer on a Mexican drug run.

You know, U.S. troops may be safer in Iraq.

    Probably just an “unfortunate accident” while they were out drinking and having a little fun with the boys!!

    Yeah … interesting that it happened yesterday but doesn’t seem to have hit the news until today. I guess everyone had to sober up a bit.

    I’m pretty sure the quail they refer to was Dan Quayle . . .
