Man Charged in Cheney Threat Denied Bond

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- A man charged with threatening the life of Vice President Dick Cheney at a campaign rally was denied bond Wednesday.

Homer O. Shoup Jr., 51, of Wayland is accused of calling a 911 dispatcher on Friday, saying he had turned his van into a bomb and planned to try to kill Cheney by crashing it into the Lansing-area venue where the vice president was to speak that day.

6. sadly cheney is already dead

What can be done to kill a made-up corpse. Its always so amazing
how those engineers make dead eyeballs look alive during public
meetings, and keeping the decay stench down, but look at all the
practice they gained in mummification with lenin and ramses II.
