Getting the Message

Propaganda Pays
The Bush administration has paid for public relations to promote their message on the Iraq War. I'd call it propaganda. The Lincoln Group has made a bundle of money working to push fabricated good news about Iraq. The New York Times has the story.

Cheney
The cover-up on V.P. Dick Cheney's hunting accident is big news. Hunters and gun owners are weighing in on what could have gone wrong on that Texas quail hunt. There is even a suggestion that Cheney should give up hunting and take up golf. From Tim McDonald:

Vice-President Dick Cheney has always promised he'd shoot straight with the American people. He just didn't tell us it would be one at a time.

Cheney needs to replace his hunting hobby with golf. Golf clubs aren't loaded, and it's more humane to bring down a lawyer with a 5-iron than a shotgun....

Until Cheney takes up another sport, he may find it difficult to get other hunters to join him on his next outing.
