Chimp and Cheney hosting TX oilfest ho-down w/ Saudi prince
Blah---can they not go ANYwhere else besides this state?

Facing a pressing array of issues from the high price of oil to the international war against terrorism, Vice President Dick Cheney will confer in Dallas over the weekend with Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.

Mr. Cheney and other administration officials plan to meet with him on Sunday, before consultations with President Bush scheduled Monday at his Texas ranch outside Crawford.

Prince Abdullah also could meet, as he did at his first ranch visit three years ago, with Mr. Bush's father, the 41st president, who's been at his Houston home this week.

Plans for this visit, however, are still being worked out, including the details of Mr. Cheney's consultations. Plans for a reception and dinner for the prince, hosted in Dallas by the U.S.-Saudi Arabian Business Council, have been pushed back from Monday to Tuesday night.

3. Hey!!!!
Hey!!!!

I was born In-the-Middle-of-Nowhere, Wyoming!

It's very windy there all year long, it is cold in the winter, the streets are always full of potholes ... the biggest employer is Wal-Mart.

Even the Saudis wouldn't want to go there. And why to you think Cheney was always looking for a political job outside of the state?
