It looks like this guy has had some serious complications from the accident, but having some buckshot rain down on you, especially while quail hunting, is pretty common. Which is why I am not surprised that someone would treat it lightly.

Didn't the guy go straight from the shoot to intensive care? Intensive care = time to stop treating it lightly, IMO. If they were regular people, they could then joke as soon as it was clear the guy was OK and he started joking about it himself. For the VP? No joking.

When did Cheney make any jokes? The ones I've seen were from Jeb and McClellan, which bad enough, but up until this afternoon the hospital was saying the guy who got shot was going to be fine.

I laughed long and hard at TDS last night. I figured the guy was in intensive care because he was in his seventies.

Oof, this gmail IM thing is dangerous.

I have no idea how it works, and furthermore, I need to remain uneducated about it, or I'll never get any work done.

Gmail has incorporated Google Talk into its interface, so if you're logged into Gmail, you're logged into Google Talk (unless you turn it off). Plus, you don't need to download anything, since it works right in the browser.

Dangerously time-wasty.

I doubt Cheney would be making jokes about it, because that would imply that Cheney was making jokes.

I just figured out why my gmail IM wasn't working. Nobody to IM right now though, which really is just as well.

I figured out how turning it off works, and that's good enough for me for the moment.

Uh, you're greenlight on my gmail right now.

I thought quails were like turkeys. I honestly didn't think they could fly.

You're a red light on mine (busy).
