"Paprika-ing," on the other hand, means to mow someone the fuck down.

Hey Hobot, this is why you got nominated.  Being a hot lesbian in and of itself isn't enough anymore.  You gotta bring the funny too.

The dude was wearing bright orange and Cheney shot his ass in the face anyway.

That's fuck*ng hardcore, even for a Republican, man.

On the other hand, when is lawyer season in Texas? Is the bag limit by poundage or by the each?

That's us, always raising the bar.

Gotta reach for that rainbow.

Gotta reach for that rainbow.

I prefer to taste the rainbow.


Yeah..  I said it.  I went there.

Well he was a lawyer and a republican.

I have a tiny, handmade sticker on my door that says, "Smith College: Taste the Rainbow."

WOOO! GO Rainbow Warriors!!



You know what I'm talking about AD.

[AlohaDawg]

June Jones made them get rid of the Rainbow part for the football team, so it's just Warriors officially although colloquially they refer to them as the 'Bows.

Personally I think this small island makes far too much of their football team. I mean, winning home games here against teams like Michigan State isn't that big a deal when the other team has to travel 12 hours to get here by plane.

The real deal is the women's volleyball. The Rainbow Wahine can definitely play.

I would like to say that I believe that this was the first time in the history of the Internet that I wanted to make a post using a smilie, in fact, consisting just of a smilie.  But the board let me down by not providing the appropriate Chagrined Moaning expression that I needed.

(Secondary note on board software: does not recognize 'smilie' as being identical to the version of that word ending in -ey.)

Edit: While I'm ranting couldn't they have picked a better picture?

No.  No, they couldn't. Because Cheney looks like that in every picture ever taken of him.

All the spin around this annoys me (big surprise there, right?).  It was the victim's fault, it wasn't that bad, blah blah blah.  The only official word from Cheney's office is that he paid for his hunting license.  Jesus, just say "I accidentally shot a guy, I feel terrible, I hope he gets better."  Is that so hard?  What was all that about honor and dignity and personal responsibility?

[Ben-San]

The TV news states that this makes Dick Cheney the first sitting vice president to shoot another man since Aaron Burr.

I like it when factoids such as that one are generated.

Yeah, what's amusing about the whole situation is that no one really seems sure whether to treat it as a scandal. So the news corps sort of awkwardly ask questions that are either oddly intense or oddly irrelevant, and the Cheney reps hesitantly defend him with the same sort of look on their faces that you see celebrities get when they're not sure if they're being Punk'd.

American media has such a rigid structuring logic that when something just sort of weird happens, like Cheney shooting some dude, or Bush choking on a pretzel, the whole system turns on itself and nobody's sure when to be ironic and when to accuse someone of conspiracy.
