During a quail-hunt in southern Texas, Dick Cheney managed to shoot another hunter; a lawyer, who suffered "minor injuries" to his face & chest. One doubts that THIS episode will be prominently featured in future N.R.A. articles or photos. (as many Cheney/ N.R.A. photos have been seen) A local T.V. station stated that Dick Cheney had "shot an elderly man" during the hunt.... Perhaps this is the newest method of Republican's reform of Social Security...... JUST SHOOT THE "ELDERLY"!!! Maybe we should all be glad; after all, it WAS a TEXAS LAWYER!!! (not a big loss) C.B.S. news, today aired reports of a company hired for "Iraqi-reconstruction" who had bilked, stolen , and falsely-billed our government for MILLIONS; sometimes using "ficticious", non-existant companies to defraud American tax-payers. In one instance, they "Billed" the U.S. Government $10,000 for "electrical-service" which cost them $4,000... THEY SIMPLY "MARKED IT UP" IN PRICE, WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION WHAT-SO-EVER! Some of these companies use "shell-corporations" located in the Cayman Islands to hide their "loot", and avoid paying U.S, taxes on their illegal gains. Don't forget; it's costing you & I (as taxpayers), an estimated $100,000 PER MINUTE!! to wage the illegal war in Iraq! The Washington Post? today reported that six major American seaports have come under the "ownership" of a group from the "United Arab Emirates".... Having been purchased by their U.K. office. We now will NEVER see "cargo-inspection" of the billions of cargo-containers which enter the United States... PRIME methods of delivering "terrorist-weapons" to our shores!! (The United Arab Emirates is a known "haven" for militant Islamic Jihadists, and now controls many of our nation's shipping centers)..... That guy "Chertoff" is sure "doing a heck of a job"!!! He hasn't been able to keep 10,000,000 South & Central American, and Mexican-nationals from WALKING across America's borders; and now he has GIVEN control of our harbors to "Terrorist-states"!!. Question: Why has NO-One asked Bush about Jack Abramoff's job as "Transition-team" leader during the first months of 2000?.... Bush has vehemently denied "Knowing" Abramoff, although numerous photos have been taken of the two of them, and "records-show" that Abramoff was once invited to the Bush ranch in Crawford Texas! (Besides being a Republican "Young Pioneer"....having raised more than $100,000 for Bush's presidential campaign) Bush continues to state: "I don't know him, haven't met the man, I meet a lot of people". Dubyuh is either TOTALLY STUPID, TOTALLY CORRUPT, OR BOTH!!
