Family tours Hands-On Museum during quick trip Tuesday

Dick Cheney slipped in and out of town Tuesday afternoon but why the vice president was in Ann Arbor appears to be one of best kept secrets around.
The visit late Tuesday was not announced to the news media or posted on Cheney's itinerary on the White House Web site, yet three local police agencies provided security for his motorcade from Willow Run Airport to Ann Arbor Township from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Members of the vice president's family also toured the popular Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum.
A Detroit radio station reported its traffic helicopter was prohibited from entering Washtenaw County airspace Tuesday while the motorcade was en route.
The nature of Cheney's visit remains unknown, but it appeared to be private since no one promoted any campaign events locally and not even party officials were aware of his visit.

1. I'm willing to bet

almost anything that he was meeting with Tom Monaghan in Ann Arbor Twp -- another religious wacko trying to impose his impossibly narrow religious beliefs on the nation. I should know -- I worked at Domino's corporate HQ for three years.

Probably picked up a big, fat campaign check too.

4. Mystery solved

Bob Teeter, a resident of the Ann Arbor area, and a long-time Republican fund raiser, recently passed away. Cheney had come to Ann Arbor to visit him on his death bed, to thank him for all he has done for the Republican party.
