****ed up in this. OTOH, the "HE SHOT SOMEONE!" coverage is pretty
chicken****, and the lack of the new stamp is REALLY nonsense

If you read the thread fully you can get my take on it.

I wondered where you were in the responses. Some people who see things
differently from you politically see the lack of an initial announcement
of
one more example of Mr. Cheney's disdain for communication and penchant
for
operating covertly. Remember one man's chicken**** is another man's
fertilizer (or some texan saying or such )

And now, I'm hearing that he may have had a non-res spring turkey
license, which, apparently, in typical bureaucratic fashion, is some
(forgotten in the statute???) strange exception that doesn't require or
even allow for the "upland bird" stamp which replaced the prior turkey,
quail, etc. regs on other licenses.

Strictly as a point of info, anyone reading this who doesn't regularly
do so, but plans on fishing or hunting in Texas now until seasons close
2007, look the regs over _carefully_ and don't rely on others to tell
you what you need.. This would especially true if someone else gets
your license for you (allowed in TX). For example, if Cheney bought a
full non-res license in Nov., but didn't hunt until Feb., he ****ed away
a coupla-hundred dollars (he turned 65).

It's about enough to stupefy, ainna? I mean, land sakes alive, how in the
world can anyone expect someone like dick (coincidence?) Cheney, Vice
President of the United States of Murrica, to marshal the resources to
settle an abstruse point of law like whether the state of Texas' requirement
that one have an "upland bird" stamp to hunt upland birds means that he
should have an "upland bird" stamp to hunt upland birds? This is a question
that has vexed the finest legal minds in the finest Texas law and
cosmetology schools for centuries.....perhaps, millennia*. One can hardly
expect someone with the minimal staff naturally accruing to an advocate of
smaller government to cut through a sucking morass like this in time to
allow sufficient remaining daylight to be sure of just which hunting
companion to drop in what order.

who, admittedly ignorant of the prevailing conditions "on the ground", as it
were, will nevertheless make so bold as to suggest that taking the one going
away first is generally a good policy.

*have you ever noticed that there is NEVER an alito around to offer opinions
on settled law when you really need one?
