Life's Persistent Questions

Keep Cheney away from Scalia.

So what will it be? NRA and gun rights groups' spin on Cheney's accident will have to address two separate issues: (1) how often does this type of accidents occur? and (2) who does this type of accident occur to? Three out of the four combinations sound bad:
a) they are rare and only happen to inexperienced and irresponsible gun owners, i.e. idiots;
b) they are common but only happens to idiots, i.e. non-NRA members;
c) they are common and can happen to anyone including experienced and responsible NRA members.
The last option: "they are rare and can happen to even the most red-blooded, 2nd amendment-loving, Wyoming cowboy/CEO, duck-hunting American male" seems to be the most unconvincing argument--if Mr. Cheney, who never make a mistake, could f*** up, then we are all f***ed. I wonder what they decided during the news blackout on Saturday.

So one more thing, I don't think the VP should go on hunting trips with Justice Scalia anymore. Mr. Cheney has been looking for nukes everywhere, we shouldn't be tempting him to create another opportunity for the U.S. Senate to push for the Nuclear Option.
