Hi Joe, sorry for taking so long to reply, work does get in the way.  
You are absolutely correct, it is a democratic paper with a slant and 
they do make up the news.

What I don't understand is the left's frenzy about this event.  This 
was a private shooting of a private citizen, on private land, with a 
private shotgun, during Cheney's private time.  You guys explained to 
us that it was Ok for Bill Clinton to get "favors" in private, even at 
the White House and that it was ok for him to rape women as long as it 
was in private and it didn't affect the way he did his job.

BTW, someone sent me a hilarious skit of a comedian making fun of 
GWB.  It is great.  I am sending it to Joe, but Raven will knock it 
out.  If anyone else wants to have it, please let me know.

News from our own Washington post story about disclosure and what is 
normal for reporting an incident.

It is a Democratic newspaper with a slant, right Denys? So we are to 
assume that this news is made up as well. 

Your Friend
