People of the Lie

(8)

This brings us to vice-president Cheney, who is a pathological liar well described in the book, People of the Lie, by M Scott Peck. Cheney has had a bad week. Cheney apparent shot one of his hunting pardners while aiming at a bird. The resulting dribble of information to The Glorious American Media has made Cheney a kind of suspect, lacking credibility. I love it! I do not like Cheney.

The incident in question has revived old memories in me of days I would rather forget: Kansas hunting days. In those days ('58-59-ish) we lived in Salina. I met a Kansas redneck who introduced me to hunting. We hunted rabbits. I must have killed 20 or 30 rabbits. I also hunted ducks, and killed three or four. I used a single-shot 12 gage. Kootch was required to skin the rabbits and cook them to our taste. It was her duty.

Then one day Kootch and I noticed a funny smell in the '56 Mercury. We eventually discovered a decomposing rabbit in the trunk.
