Bird Flies Into Engine Of Cheney's Plane

(CBS) CHICAGO A bird appears to have flown into and damaged the engine of Vice President Dick Cheney's plane as it arrived in Chicago Friday morning.

As of 10:30 a.m., mechanics were inspecting the plane to see if repairs are necessary and if the plane can return to Washington. The plane landed safely, and no one was hurt.

Cheney is in Chicago to speak at the Ritz-Carlton for a conservative think tank.

Rumors that the bird was screaming 'allah akbar' have yet to be confirmed. (kidding)

Death is our eternal companion. It is always to our left, an arm's length behind us. Death is the only wise adviser that a warrior has. Whenever he feels that everything is going wrong and he's about to be annihilated, he can turn to his death and ask if that is so. His death will tell him that he is wrong, that nothing really matters outside its touch. His death will tell him, ‘I haven't touched you yet.'

from our left, so I guess the same is true of death. Is this from Tibetan Book of the Dead?

I had several experiences that I classify as spirit visitation, and they always involved presenting from the left.

Poor bird.

He didn't have to get out his shotgun to do it himself.

I kid, I kid.

(I thought it was funny), but you've misspelled the phrase-"Allah ho Akbar" which means "God is Great".

One other interesting side note: a devout Muslim does not say that at the end of his life, but the Kalima-"La illaha il Allah Mohammeda Rasul lilah".

I remember he was grounded someplace in the last few weeks for repairs to his plane.

I don't wish Dead Eye Dick any harm but damn I wish that man would just go home and leave the country alone. Hateful, nasty, vile war mongering man, just stay home. Please. Well, at least until the feds show up to arrest him.

hits Pinelawn for a dirtnap...:evilgrin:

:rofl:

Here's how tumor of death Cheney "hunts":

WASHINGTON - When Dick Cheney and a hunting party that included several Texas Republicans, among them U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, bagged hundreds of ring-necked pheasants at a private hunting club in Pennsylvania last week, animal-rights activists denounced it as a slaughter.

They were especially outraged that the vice president shot more than 70 himself. But Cornyn said Wednesday that the birds had a sporting chance, even if they were farm-raised and released from nets for the hunters.

"It was a good shoot," said Cornyn, who figures he shot dozens of pheasants himself. He conceded that bagging the birds was so easy, at times it seemed "kind of like how Tyson's and Pilgrim's Pride and other people do it. I must tell you that people don't necessarily hunt the same way in Texas that they hunt in Ligonier, Pa., but it was enjoyable," he said.
...
Cheney hunts and fishes often, and his excursions rarely attract notice. But on this one, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the 10-man hunting party killed 417 of 500 pheasants released from nets for the morning hunt.

The Humane Society of the United States says that smacks of a mass killing. "These birds were just planted right in front of this group of hunters. It was a bloodbath and it was a blaze of shotgun fire," said senior vice president Wayne Pacelle.

It's Cheney's karma that's going to get him in the end. No "pearly gates" for that evil one.

:kick::kick::kick:

He reminds me of Mr. Burns on the Simpsons. I think once his body no longer functions they will keep his head functioning somehow with a robotic body or something.

then he can walk home. Just get him out of here.
