buckshot brouhaha
so, the vice president shoots a man in the face. weird? yes. of national significance? not really.
i'm just not sure the press is justified in freaking out on this one. is there a reason we, the public, needed to be notified immediately of the incident? it's a semi-regular event in hunting, the guy is fine, he wasn't a foreign dignitary. i can't imagine how it could possibly have affected even domestic politics unless it had sparked another heart attack.
not that i'm a fan of hunting, shooting people, or the vice president. but really, let's focus, people! in other news, people being shot every day on cheney and bush's orders received little press today.
update: another, more hilarious, shooting incident - "man's elbow, mistaken for squirrel, shot"

What you and the rest of the mainstream media aren't reporting is that a champion of property rights was shot by a high level government official: http://www.sploid.com/news/2006/02/injured_geezer.php
He was a threat and the powers that be arranged to have him taken out. Sweep it under the rug if you want but the people demand the truth.

ok, my last comment was jokey but I do respectfully disagree with this post. The man suffered from a heart attack today from complications due to the shooting.
The spin is that this "guy is fine" as you wrote but I don't buy it. Stay tuned hedgehogs.

okay. i'll grant you that the man having heart trouble is a big deal. but the actual shooting? not.
