I hate the news

CNN had the following lines in their story about the Cheney shooting: "Cheney called Whittington on Tuesday afternoon to offer his "thoughts and prayers," the vice president's office said." The link on their main page said, Cheney prays for hunt victim.

Give me a fucking break.

Besides the fact that Cheney doesn't seem like they praying type, that's not what he said.

And this whole thing is the top story everywhere. Yeah, I think it's something to take note of, but come on!

Am I upset because Cheney got off with a warning, for not having his bird stamp? No. If it was me, I would have written him a warning. On the other hand, if I worked for the DNR, I would have written a lot of warnings, unlike the actual game wardens here in Wisconsin.

Cheney has made no public comment about the incident. I think Cheney's handlers wisely refrained from releasing his statement, "I already apologized to him. If he thinks I did it on purpose, he can go to hell!"

If the news media devoted enough time to REALLY IMPORTANT stories - like the FEMA trailers rotting away in Arkansas, unused - it'd just be another hunting accident yarn.
