Cheney made me 45 minutes late today

[borlis]

I was stuck in really bad traffic today on the way to my son's baseball game about a 15 minute drive from home. I noticed many intersections were blocked off and unmarked police cars in a number of different intersections. A helicopter was circling overhead. I was actually thinking that maybe a convict was on the loose. All the parents at the game were also discussing this and wondering why a 15 minute drive would take 45. Then later on the news it was confirmed that the darth one was here today at a gop fundraiser at the home of some Morgan Stanley bigshot. I missed my son hit a double because of this. Why doesn't he do us a favor and stay out of Illinois? :mad:

1. At least he didn't use his shotgun on you

See, there's always an upside to things!

Now seriously, I know how much it sucks when the cut traffic for these reasons. Here in NYC they do it all the time.

2. They didn't do that in Springdale, Arkansas, when I went to see

Bill Clinton at the airport back in August '93. No problem getting into or out of the airport, or around Springdale for that matter (except for the usual mess on 71B)

3. Well, you were right about a "convict"...

being loose.

4. His causing you to miss part of your son's game is a capital offence

in my book.

I am not kidding.

6. all my concern for all this security everywhere was instantly

major anger when I found this out. I wish I would have been close enough to spit at him.

7. There's some action near you this morning.

It's all over WGN news. A shooting of some sort.
