Gay Marriage Advocate : Dick Cheney

Apparently, former Vice President Dick Cheney and most Republicans don't see eye-to-eye on the issue of same-sex marriage.
Speaking at the National Press Club, Cheney said he's not against gay marriage. Cheney's daughter is gay.
In the same speech, Cheney also confused the names of Osama bin Laden and President Barack Obama.

Crusader Rumsfeld


on the morning of Thursday, April 10, 2003, Donald Rumsfeld’s Pentagon prepared a top-secret briefing for George W. Bush. This document, known as the Worldwide Intelligence Update, was a daily digest of critical military intelligence so classified that it circulated among only a handful of Pentagon leaders and the president; Rumsfeld himself often delivered it, by hand, to the White House.

Now the bizarre attack has spawned a real life work of art. A sofa-sized statue of the shoe was unveiled Thursday in Tikrit, the hometown of the former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
Baghdad-based artist Laith al-Amari described the fiberglass-and-copper work as a tribute to the pride of the Iraqi people.
The statue is inscribed with a poem honoring Muntadhar al-Zeidi, the Iraqi journalist who stunned the world when he whipped off his loafers and hurled them at Bush during a press conference on December 14, 2008.
In the Arab world, even showing someone the sole of a shoe is considered a sign of disrespect.
