Now we just wait for the White House to issue a press statement arguing that Cheney stands by his decision to shoot that man in the face as there was significant intelligence available prior to the shooting that suggested that he was, in fact, shooting at a quail, and not a 78-year old man.
This is just too easy, but the (

Contrary to what Stronts would have you believe hunting and pest control with firearms is both reasonably common and perfectly acceptable here in the UK.
Pest control, yeah, but not hunting for benign stuff like quail... quail are endangered in the UK, fwiw. Plus it wouldn't exactly be a vote-winner. I dunno, maybe it's common to hunt in Straw Dosgville, but I never met anyone who hunted regularly til I went to the States.

There's plenty of grouse (and other such dim-witted gamebirds) hunting in the UK, which takes place on private moorland. After they've bred the grouse first.
However, hunting grouse seems to be about as difficult as taking penalties against a blind man in a fifty foot goal. So I'm not really sure what the skill element is.

I'm pretty sure the kind of hunting Cheney et. al. were doing use quail that are bred specifically for hunting. Which in my mind isn't any different than raising cattle for beef.

I really want to buy that shirt. Please give me the link directly to it, because I can't seem to find that specific one on cafe press by my self.

I advocate a human hunting amendment to the constitution in the state of Carolina.

So, if his buddy dies from a heart attack like the one he just suffered as a result of one of the pellets lodged in his chest which traveled to his heart ((

Nevermind; we'd never know because it would be kept secret. ;)

Could, won't.
