Some Dick Cheney jokes..

[lizbud]

If you or I had been the shooter, what would have happened?

Lets see, no valid hunting license, smell of alcohol on breath(he had a beer
for lunch) and person injured required hospitalization. Three guesses.

[Lady's Human]

Liz, as far as the hunting license goes, he had a valid license, he didn't have the proper stamp, which is normally a wrist slap if its a first offense. (it all depends on local law, but normally it's go buy the stamp, come back and let me see it)

These incidents happen all too frequently, and normally the local police investigate, take statements, and put it in the darwin awards file.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Liz....since the sheriff was not allowed to interview the shooter until the next day (that's how it would work for you and me, right?) they would not have known about the alcohol on his breath (one beer at lunch) had our honest and open vp not told them.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Don't mean to interrupt this spirited debate, but the only question I have is....who is paying the hospital bills? Is it the "victim's" own health insurance, or, since Cheney is responsible, is the government, i.e. ME, picking up the tab?

[caseysmom]

I am wondering who is paying for this entourage of doctors that have to follow this guy around all the time?

[Lady's Human]

The veep shot him, he's more than likely in the hospital on our nickel.

The entourage of docs who follow around the veep and the CinC are part of the normal detail, but in VP Cheney's case it's beefed up somewhat due to his history of heart problems. They are probably out of Bethesda Naval Hospital, which means in some form or another they're military.

WE ALL DO!


It really doesn't matter, just like everything else, car insurance, home owners insurance, life insurance-we all pay.


CM,
We all do.

It's part of the plan put together since JFK and RR were shot.

What is the problem with Electric eavesdropping?

I really laugh when I hear people ask "DO YOU WANT THE GOVERNMENT LISTENING/LOOKING AT WHAT YOU DO?"

Did you realize that you company looks and monitors your email?
At work there are CCTV cameras all over the place?
when you shop all your data is attached to your card,debit card and you are photographed while you shop?
Use an ATM and smile! Run a red light and smile!

While there are 300 million people in the USA there are about 100 million that use the phone, computer,text message and email back and forth...


So estimate if you use each of those methods once a day for one message, that is 400 million. more, if you are a TECHHEAD.

So if the US gov't. has the ability to sort thru all those messages every day.....we are in trouble....


DID I MENTION, that a good percent of all that electrinic mash is in a foreign language??

As it is we were never able to get enough translators to go to Iraq/Afghanistan-so what makes you think that the omnipotent powers can decode and figure out all the stupid jokes, photos and trash that we send to each other, every day?


Me?

I'd rather have Uncle Sam looking over my shoulder and seeing that all I get are "girls gone wild" DVD offers, Cialis, Viagra and the Cat of the Day calendar emails..

----------------------------------------


Riddle me this.


A terrorist cell operates in a major US city....They begin electronically setting up a plan to dirty bomb a large college. Let's say the University College in Downtown Lost Angeles. (It don't exist so don't bother looking) Uni College is surrounded by 100,000 people.

While the government and state official present a judge a request for a wiretap and access to their emails, they cook off a bomb that kills 10,000 people with in the first week-Did i mention that the wind is blowing west to the ocean and some 50 thousand people will inhale what ever crap they put together with the bomb? Uranium maybe???

3,000 from the initial blast and another 7,000 from the 24 hour effects from the dirt from the fallout.

Long term effects?


The area where the bomb went off is off limits for about 40 years and the cancer rates in the areas go up astronomically...



DID I MENTION WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WATER, that the firefighters use to put out the fires, until they realize that it full of radioactive waste GOES INTO THE SEWER and pollutes everything down to the ocean?


If you are not scared yet-of think that I am talking out of my hat- I pray that none of the world ever has to go through something like that because we are a bunch of spineless paranoid wimps.

"Where is the government?"
"WHY DIDN'T THEY STOP THE ATTACK?"

Of course, the story about the cops trying to get a wiretap order will come out and then we can whine about the government not moving fast enough.



I pray that I am wrong-but it more than likely will happen.

So get ready and remember- I told you so.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Sorry RICHARD....I am more frightened by a government run amok than I am the possibility of a terrorist attack.

To live in a country governed by a bunch who think the constitution is just an inconvenience (except when you want to use it to justifiy owning a killing machine...) is it worth living? I really laugh when I hear people think the government will responsibly use the power to spy on American citizens. Can anyone say "McCarthy?"

The government has never been denied a warrant ...and the law allows them to eavesdrop and get the warrant later. I really laugh when I hear people describe a situation where the requirement to get a warrant causes mass distruction of a city.

I really laugh when I hear people say they don't care about the government spying on them in their homes. How many times does history have to repeat????

Consider yourself riddled.... (I hope that doesn't mean something dirty! )

[Lady's Human]

A government that considers the Constitution an inconvenience? I'm sure the Branch Davidians were given all rights of due process before the assault on their compound.

Don't mean to interrupt this spirited debate, but the only question I have is....who is paying the hospital bills? Is it the "victim's" own health insurance, or, since Cheney is responsible, is the government, i.e. ME, picking up the tab?

Since they are both multimillionaires, I doubt we have anything to
worry about.

[RICHARD]

I guess coming out and saying that you were the one that pulled the trigger cannot be compared to making a statement concerning something about sex and "that woman".




Let's keep this about the vice presidents.....

What was it that My pal Al Gore said about the US in Saudi Arabia a few days ago.


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060213/..._ea/saudi_gore

This bobo was going to be my president?

And why are Billary and Ted going to Senate meetings about armed forces supplies?

Edward voted against a war so he is covered....But Bill and Hill routinely cut the knees from under all the branches of the United States military. And now they care about the PASGT stuff that they are sending to IRAQ?

(During the meeting one officer made a comment about 'shooting themselves in the gut', Ted, being the great politician he is, said that considering the news, it wasn't an appropriate comment.....Billary tossed her head back and laughed out loud....)

-------------------------------

ONE MORE TIME.

I DO NOT CARE IF THE GWB AND THE OTHERS look at my email (Please do not draw the connection that using a DSL line or dial up modem is tantamout to 'looking into my home')

My computer holds the same bland mass mailings you all get, the racy emails my friends send me and some other stuff that my mom would blanch at, knowing her eldest son has seen it.

In case you are wondering, the NSA monitors quite a bit of email and voice commo all across the continent.

They have programs and traps set up to filter out the fact that people are on pet sites, have the Paris Hilton home movies on their harddrive....they don't care if you emailed your old man or old lady some dirty pics you took as a Valentine's day gift.

You have to really trip the alarm, which will in turn, perk up some ears in order for the government to make you a target.

Paranoia may not be that bad a condition to deal with....waiting for the government to break down your door distracts you from dying in a terrorist
attack.

Hmmm,
Having a few techs laughing at my harddrive is a far better trade off than watching people jump out of a 110 story building- they only put off being crushed..

I seem to remember seeing people post about the crappy job the US did in getting info about 9/11....well, we can't spy....

So, since we can't spy, let's just put an ad in the paper....I am sure people will let us know when the hammer is ready to come down.
