    FB - You're usually fairly level headed and honest but you have to admit that you've been all over bigtexxx for a couple of his jokes.

    Just off the top of my head, I remember you getting upset at his "sweatshop" joke.

    Lighten up. The man shot is doing just fine.

    It's a pretty remarkable event that the VP shoots a man. The jokes are inevitable.

    That wasn't a joke of his as he posted links showing that his information was credible and to be taken seriously.

    I was just using that to point out that by him acting like the people in video should be making his shirts for a quarter an hour didn't really put them in their place the way he hoped it would.

    If bigtexxx had been joking then that might have been one thing, but he posted a link trying to show that he was serious.

    It's too bad quails can't shoot back.

    In other news, GOP And Dem. Senators Call For Investigation Of Cheney Over CIA Leak…

    -----------------
    Senators: Cheney Should Be Probed in Leak

    WASHINGTON - Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald should investigate Vice President Dick Cheney and others in the CIA leak probe if they authorized an aide to give secret information to reporters, Democratic and Republican senators said Sunday.

    Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., called the leak of intelligence information "inappropriate" if it is true that unnamed "superiors" instructed Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, to divulge the material on Iraq.

    Sen. George Allen, R-Va., said a full investigation is necessary.

    "I don't think anybody should be releasing classified information, period, whether in the Congress, executive branch or some underling in some bureaucracy," said Allen, who appeared with Reed on "Fox News Sunday."

    That is true and no law probably has technically been broken, but its shows just how sleazy and low this administration will go to protect its own. Leaking classified information for political gain. How honorable.

    Technically you can't shoot straight with a shotgun. Account for 1 inch per yard from the muzzle at a random trajectory, and you have a 20 inch pattern at 20 yards with the number of pellets encircling the spread...About the complete width of a man's torso, thus the shotgun is maxed out at 20 yards...

    The more we all know,...Or don't care to know, and now we know...

    Definetly self-defense.

    However, my greater concern is: Who was running the country while Cheney was out shooting people?
