He Got Peppered Pretty Good....
In light of Vice President Cheney's quail hunting fiasco, I feel compelled to write the following: Cheney is an incompetent hunter who should have his hunting privileges suspended by the state of Texas -- and failing that, he should surrender his hunting privileges voluntarily for a period of time (six months, one year, etc.) to acknowledge his dangerously unsafe act and his failure to abide by at least two cardinal rules of bird hunting.
At least two of us who post to this blog have done a significant amount of bird hunting. And when I say "bird hunting" in this context, I mean the stalking of ground-nesting birds, such as pheasant, quail, chukkar, etc.
I have hunted birds since I was a small child, and I hunted them most recently just after Christmas this past year with my dad and brother at a game preserve on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
All good bird hunters know and follow two cardinal rules:
#1: ALWAYS know where your hunting companions are.
#2: NEVER fire your gun unless it's a 100% safe shot.
Bird hunting has more potential for danger than many other more solitary types of hunting, because a) you usually hunt in close proximity to 2-3 other people in the same patch of land, focused on the same quarry; b) ground birds fly erratically. Sometimes, they pop straight up into the air, and you can elevate your shotgun muzzle safely out of range of any of your companions. However, sometimes birds fly at head or chest level or lower. Sometimes they fly right at another one of your fellow hunters. Sometimes they don't fly at all, but run along the ground, hoping to stay camouflaged in brush.
Given these factors, it is not unusual to encounter situations where you find yourself swiveling your shotgun barrel in pursuit of a bird, only to find yourself moving the barrel toward a fellow hunter.
That is why it is crucial to always know where your hunting companions are, and to take a "don't shoot" mentality until and unless you're sure your shot will be safe. It's always possible to lower your gun and simply track the bird as it runs/flys away, then stalk it again at its new landing spot.
That's what Cheney should have done -- but instead he shot a man in the face, neck, and chest. The ranch's owner reacted dismissively, downplaying the situation by laughingly saying, "He got peppered pretty good."
I bet the victim doesn't feel so jolly about the situation.

A biatch of a typo
In my new job, which is inadvertently hilarious in part because sometimes I help the university figure out to keep the kids from drinking, smoking, fucking, or disliking each other, one of my peripheral responsibilities is reviewing the division's staff reports.
Anyway, I was just looking at the weekly submission from our residence life staff, good people all, and caught the following typo--see if you can find it:
"...Sadler resident advisor, held a ‘Monopoly anf economic inequality’ diversity program for 20 residents on January 30..."
And an aside, keeping in mind of course that nothing on the Internet is private...
I'd like to provoke a lively discussion by asking the moderator of this fine forum: What are the house rules on liberal use of profanity, if any?

Granted, given my line of work, I may have found the film to be more provocative. I still think everyone will enjoy it, though.

A Cautionary Tale
Was directed to this story in the Washington City Paper today about Marion Barry. Love him or hate him, this is just sad.
