LIGONIER TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- Vice President Dick Cheney is being criticized
for shooting duck and pheasant Monday at the Rolling Rock Club in
Ligonier, Westmoreland County, Team 4's Jim Parsons reported.

Mark Bolish, an employee of the exclusive private club, told Channel 4
Action News that Cheney shot about 70 stocked pheasants and mallards
that were released for a group of hunters. More than 400 of the
farm-raised birds were killed in all.


OK, I'm replying to my own post. **** me. Isn't anyone taking the bait?
Is shooting 70 farm-raised pheasants and ducks in one day sportsmanlike?
Is it hunting? Isn't it more like target practice?

This represents the attitude of easy entitlement that so disgusts me
about people like Cheney.

It gives you a view of the future as the Neocons envision utopia. They have
won the class war they started. They have sold off the most of the national
forest. The areas with the best trout streams have gone to the super rich
and the rest have been clear cut, stripe mined and cyanide leached. The
Clarke fork, Madison, Gallatin etc. are all private property. Quality
fishing if is available to you only on a fee basis similar to the English
system and off limits to 95% of the people. The rest of us are bombarded
with magazine articles on fly-fishing for carp, in which we are continually
remineded how great it is.
