peppered pretty good.

so, cheney blasting a hunting partner really isn't that surprising. my favorite press exerpt (from bbc america):

Ranch owner Katharine Armstrong said Mr Cheney had turned round to shoot at a bird, unaware that Mr Whittington was behind him. He sprayed Mr Whittington with shotgun pellets.

"The covey flushed and the vice-president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by God, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good," she said...This is something that happens from time to time - you know, I've been peppered pretty well myself."


oh, and cheney is being cited for not having the appropriate hunting permit. just a warning of course.

joey cheek won the 500m speedskating gold last night by a landslide. he used his press conference as a forum against genocide in africa, and is donating his $25,000 gold medal prize (awarded by the us olympic committee) to the cause. nike has already matched it (well, $30,000 in gear) and joey is urging his other sponsors to do the same. well played. it's quite a contrast compared with the 'dude, i'm soooo stoked that i got this gold. it's been, like, a life long dream or something' you hear after the snowboard half pipe competition.
