dex wonders about another career
So waking and reading the news this morning made me wonder what it would be like to have a different career. I mean, if I were say, a writer for David Letterman the news on this Monday morning would have to make it seem like Christmas. Certainly not a Monday anyway. I can just imagine the iterations of Cheney, hunting, shotgun jokes that I could make up. I mean come on, it's almost too easy. Instead I'll be camped in front of an Excel spreadsheet.
Let me say that I sincerely hope the guy who was "peppered" gets better and does well, and also this really has nothing to do with my personal political affiliation. It's just an observation that today is a great day to be a comedic writer. So let us have it you writers. And everyone keep a close watch on how many jokes you hear about "you have an invite to go hunting with the Vice President.... oh my, this is not good".

You get up early.
As for the shooting, the best thing I've heard so far was a guy singing on the metro with a slight change to some Aerosmith lyrics -- "Cheney's got a gun."
Then I saw that as a little headline in the Express and got another chuckle.
I heard "Cheney's got a gun" this morning, too.
My favorite line was "He shot a 78-year-old man, he's got to be insane."
