Cheney to Retire?

Drudge has a link up saying MAG CLAIMS: CHENEY EXPECTED TO RETIRE AFTER MIDTERM ELECTIONS…

Vice President Dick Cheney is expected to retire within a year.

Senior GOP sources envision the retirement of Mr. Cheney in 2007, months after the congressional elections. The sources said Mr. Cheney would be persuaded to step down as he becomes an increasing political liability to President Bush.

The sources reported a growing rift between the president and vice president as well as their staffs. They cited Mr. Cheney’s failure to immediately tell the president of the accidental shooting of the vice president’s hunting colleague earlier this month. The White House didn’t learn of the incident until 18 hours later.

I think talk of Cheney’s retirement should have been in motion long ago. Retire and enjoy a lot more hunting!

President Bush has lost it

Bush theatens to veto any attempt to stop him! (thanks Drudge.)

“After careful review by our government, I believe the transaction ought to go forward,” Bush told reporters who had traveled with him on Air Force One to Washington. “I want those who are questioning it to step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard than a Great British company.

As any reader of my blog knows, I have been a huge supporter of President Bush. That said, this deal to give control of 6 US Ports to a company from Dubai is completely unacceptable. Nothing matters more than our national security. I do not want any foreigners defending America on American soil. How can we defend our borders and wage a war on terror while our “friends” give the terrorists an easy route into the US?

Juror Questionnaires

Last Friday I received a Juror Questionnaire from Collin County. The Questionnaire has a Scantron that must be completed and returned. I was excited to see they also provide an online Questionnaire. Unfortunately, the system looks to be down.

You only thought you were going to be an Aggie

I hope this kid enjoys his Aggie days, they are not going to last long.

“They take care of you down there,” McCoy said. “I know from my brother they keep your pockets full, give you plenty of money, keep feeding you meals. Besides that all the help they give you with football. They keep you on your grades with private tutoring. Just good all-around.”
