"the Secret Service searched me for weapons—then they gave me one"
http://mauiknows.blogspot.com/

Mauian Went Shooting with VP Dick Cheney

“I told him a thousand times I would go shooting with him again, anytime,” said Clark. “I’ve gone shooting with him before. It was very pleasant and a lot of fun. He’s a great marksman and I was very impressed. I feel I’m very lucky for even having gotten to know him. Vice President Cheney is brilliant with an analytical mind and a calm, cool, sweet demeanor.
“When we went shooting clay pigeons in Georgia, I never felt my life was in danger,” said Clark. “The funniest thing about it was that before we went shooting, the Secret Service searched me for weapons—then they gave me one.”
Clark claims to be one of the few Pioneers on Maui. It’s an honorary title, referring to the network of Bush fundraising allies. “It may not be good to have that unpopular title here,” said Clark. “But I don’t care what party the president is a part of, they all should be respected. I’ve never hated a president. What is happening now is horrible."


Dear Cindy,
Yes, What is happening now is horrible. YOU with your support SHARE in the blame. Think about the deaths, the torture, the defecit, the lies, the spying on everyday americans, and... sleep well tonight!

6. LOL
wouldn't that be great? If you could point your taxes in a certain direction, like when you give to the United Way?

Great idea!

7. It's been done
and yes, then I guess you get to say it isn't your fault.

Or you move somewhere else and pay taxes to a system that your conscience can live with.

As for me, I just accept the blame. I have lived a lifetime benefitting from many things about this country and I will have to accept the bad with the good. I do feel shame.
