....but I just can't hold back any longer. The need to be snide is too strong....I am losing control. I was doing OK until I found this link at one of my new blogs to read, Opiniokated. It is is song parody called Cheney's Got a Gun. Listen, its funny. Humor is good for the soul.
In case you have been on a Caribbean Cruise in the Caribbean (hi Mitchell), Dick Cheney peppered his friend on a quail hunting trip to the great state of Texas. This "ranch" was a quail farm where they let the birds loose. Quail are not smart birds. They get scared and take off in a flock and all you have to do is shoot at them to kill many birds with one shot. The elderly gentlemen were driving around in cars and getting out to shoot birds. Can anyone say "shooting fish in a barrel"?
My grandfather, W.J. Stone was an avid bird hunter. He kept bird dogs. When he died , we had not even buried him when the phone was ringing with people asking if we were selling the bird dogs. His dogs were that good. Grandad walked the fields looking for coveys of quail. He told about one of his dogs who attacked a cow, a big NO NO in the bird dog world. He shot at the dog meaning to pepper him with bird shot but was such a good shot he killed his best dog.
It is sad that this man has to go through this terrible ordeal (I mean Mr. Armstrong, not Mr. Cheney) I know his family is praying for his recovery and we are too....but I still had to chuckle.
I think the press over-reaction is ludicrous, but you're right, that song is very funny.=)
