from one Hoosier to another . . . . Dick Chaney will be to quail hunting as Gerald Ford is to golf!! At least he was shooting at lawyers and not real people. I loved your little article. . .very funny thank you . . Smokey Lonesome

I dunno, maybe VP Cheney was exhibiting his ability for making snap executive decisions in the field. Finding himself suddenly presented with the choice between shooting a flock of perfectly innocent birds...and a lawyer... Hmmm. What to do. What to do. :o) The good part is that al'ls well that ends well. We can kid about it now because the incident did not turn out worse. I have an idea the VP will never live this one down. Good Write, Cynth'ya!! Enjoyed it! J

Great, fun piece. I was married to the world's most manic hunter for 20 years. NO ONE in the world hunted more than he did. He never shot a buddy . . . but he did shoot a hole in the floorboard of his truck -- while he was driving it!! He also caught the same vehicle on fire, while he was driving it . . . but THAT's another story. Personally, and yes, my opinion's severely colored by intimate experience, I believe hunters are a "special" breed of insane. Can we spell O-B-S-E-S-S-E-D?! I guess we all need our idiosyncracies. Accidents DO happen. They're just more public when they happen at the hands of the Vice President of the United States. -- Linda

I have so much trouble even believing this craziness. But you've made me laugh, sis. ~~Nordette

Well, if Cupid was the only one allowed to shoot, it would be a better and safer place. Birgit and Roger

Cynth'ya, I feel sorry for Dick Cheney; he must feel terrible! But accidents are bound to happen if people don't learn to use guns correctly. Truthfully, I am terrified of guns, and I always have been. Loud unexpected noises do too; they remind me of guns or bombs going off, and I totally wig out! I am sorry the man Dick Cheney hit by accident got injured, but according to last reports, they think he is going to be okay. It could have very easily been so much worse. Thought provoker you have penned here; very well done! (((HugS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Cynth'ya, Even though it's not the gun that kills and injures, I personally don't like them. They terrify me. Look at all of the evidence of children getting their hands on weapons and using them against family or friends; madmen getting their hands on them and not caring who they shoot...you make valid points here. Well done! (((HUGS))) and love, Karla. Provocative write, very well done. (((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

This story is one more reason why no one should own a gun for sport. And this is a man who loves shooting down 50-60 birds before lunch; we're quickly running out of both birds and obviously now, his friends. At least old Gerald Ford only shot errant golf balls at his buddies.
