All the News That's Fit to Print (2 cents)

From yesterday's New York Times, page 1:

The audacity of a suicide bomb attack on Tuesday at the gates of the main American base in Afghanistan during a visit by Vice President Dick Cheney underscores why President Bush sent him there.

Well, we know what they mean, I think.

But it raised the question of what would happen if something happened to Cheney. For one thing, there would probably be less of an incentive not to impeach the President.

And, under the same Constitutional provision that allowed Richard Nixon to appoint Gerald Ford as Vice President, George Bush would get to appoint someone, subject to Congressional approval.

Who would it be? Would we have our first African American female vice president??

OMG!!!!! All of my brother's and sister's went to Wiggins Ozark Camp! Wig-O-Ca, remember? "High on a hill we stand, fairest spot in the land, (da da da da da,) guarded by pine trees tall. You are so tall and free, like you we aim to be. Wig-Go-Ca, Wig-Go-Ca, you are a dream come true."

I went there for 8 consecutive summers! Thank you so much for blogging about it, it really brought back some wonderful memories.
