We at VicePresident.us have been remiss in our writing. It is time this year to get back on the horse and hunt, er start writing again. We are considering adding some political thought instead of merely humor. For today, we are going to start with some reminders and move into more serious business in the coming weeks.
Vice Presidents Day 2007
Lest we forget, February 11th is approaching. Of course you remember the significance of February 11th, don't you? Yes, that will be the anniversary of when our Vice President (remember his name?) Dick Cheney shot a man.
Who did he shoot?
In case you forgot, here is the new $10 bill we proposed last year:
Vice Presidents Day 2007
So write to your Senators and Congresspeople and ask them to make February 11th (or the Monday nearest the date) Vice Presidents Day. Let's honor the men who sit a heartbeat away from the Presidency!
We couldn't resist the title. For those of you familiar only with Doonesbury, the Boondocks, La Cucaracha, et al, there is a single conservative comic strip in the daily funnies. (If you know more, send them our way.)
You've been reading the left's view of the Cheney shooting on these pages for a few weeks. What about the right? We haven't been ignoring the right. It seems that the right didn't think that this was funny. (Note: We would call them conservatives but the US Republican Party is not conservative at all. We get the choice of tax-and-spend Democrats or tax-cut-and-spend Republicans. The Republicans have more pork in their last few budgets than Ted Kennedy dreamed of for any BarBQ he planned.)

We keep getting e-mails with about our favorite topic: Cheney's Got a Gun lyrics. One of our readers ound this one at Shaw's Law. Sing along!
Cheney's Got a Gun
(Lyrics by Tom Feeley & Sam Einhorn )
to the tune of Aerosmith's "Janey's Got a Gun"
Cheney's got a gun
Cheney's got a gun
He peppered Whittington
A heart attack ain’t no fun
What did Dick Cheney do?
How did he not see you?

You know you've messed up when yoou're the butt of jokes in the funny pages.
I'm hooked on finding more Cheney's Got a Gun lyrics. This one is from Am I Right and Karavans.
Cheney's got a gun, Cheney's got a gun
Went huntin' for some fun
Reputation's undone
What did Dick Cheney do?
He shot his pal, yes it's true...

Our favorite song of this genre remains Cheney's Got a Gun lyrics but this one was worth posting. This one comes from Flowgo:
Old Cheney went a-hunting
A-hunting he did go
He shot his best friend in the face
"Oh crap", he said, "Oh no!"

We found more lyrics to our new favorite song: Cheney's Got a Gun at Daily Nugget:
Dum, dum, dum, Cheney what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of my gun
Dum, dum, dum, Cheney what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound, it's the sound...
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah....

Vice President Cheney has to say his prayers every night and hope that this scandal passes. It will. They all do. But you know it's not dying down when the New Yorker puts you on its cover. OUCH!
Aaron McGruder spent the early part of this week in Boondocks musing over our favorite subject of the week: Dick Cheney Hunting. You know you've messed up when you see the comics (not political cartoons) making fun of you.
[On a side note, there is a billboard near my house for a Boondocks TV show. It says that it is at 11PM but neglects to state the channel it is on. That's not the most effective advertising.]

Another submission from our regular reader (he's been here both of the days we've been live). He found this one at Fark. We're moving this to the top of the queue as it is bipartisan mockery. We don't hold anything against either party, we think both partieshave sold us out.
One of our loyal (OK, first time) readers sent in this image from Daily Kos. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, this entry is now 1,028 words.
Niall Ferguson wrote a great piece on this hunting trip which "changed the course of history". In it, he ties together the "Cheney's Got a Gun" incident and the "Plame Game" so I have added this entry to both categories. Oh, and he's funny so I thought it worthy to quote the piece in its entirety.

By now you've heard that our Vice President (quick, name him!) shot a man.
Cheney is only the second sitting Vice President to shoot a man. The first was Aaron Burr who shot and killed Alexander Hamilton. And as a tribute to the man, Hamilton is on the $10 bill (so what if he was also the first Secretary of the Treasury).
Here is our tribute to Harry Whittington, the man Cheney shot. We extend our best wishes Mr. Whittington and his family and wish him a quick recovery. We know Vice President Cheney did NOT intentionally shoot the man and he feels quite bad about this... even if at one point he blamed Mr. Whittington for being where he was firing.
Enjoy the new $10 bill. We do! And remember, if you have any comments, suggestions or great Veep stories, write to us at vicepresident.us@gmail.com.

When we were growing up, there were 2 holidays in February (our apologies to our readers south of the Mason-Dixon Line): Washington's Birthday and Lincoln's Brithday. To be politically correct to all citizens of our great country, the two holidays were combined to one and thus was born Presidents Day.
We want to bring back a second February holiday. We think that government and bank employees will forever love VicePresident.US if we succeed. Who deserves a holiday? Hmmmm. Who gets no respect? Rodney Dangerfield's birthday was November 22nd and that's too close to Thankgiving. I KNOW! The Vice President of the US. That's it!

Have you wondered if Cheney was really gunning for another Vice President and not a bird? You know, Quayle and not quail. We've found several games online where you can be Cheney and you get a gun to hunt. Take a look:
The Huffington Post offers up a the cartoon above and a not-so-live Scalia and Cheney hunting cartoon.
The Huffington Post also has a real Cheney Quail Hunting game. This is a must-play!
YTMND brings us Dick Hunt for Nintendo (no, it's not real, just funny).
Now, this one has absolutely nothing to do with Cheney shooting Whittington but it is Cheney as Scarface. Funny stuff (but not recommended for children).
If you have seen more, please add them in the comment section below!
I heard a version of this song on the radio and found 3 versions online. It seems that there is no reason for us to create one for VicePresident.us. Put Aerosmith on and sing along!
From Ubersite
Dum, dum, dum, Cheney what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound of your hunting gun
Dum, dum, dum, Cheney what have you done
Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound, it's the sound...
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah....
Cheney's Got A Gun
Cheney's Got A Gun
His whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did Harry Whittington do
What did he refuse to do

News Flash: Vice President Cheney shot a man on February 11, 2006, a day that will live in infamy!
Yes, Cheney shot a man. [Recently Jon Lovitz was on Sit Down Comedy with David Steinberg. Lovitz did an entire Woody Allen skit where he said "I shot a moose" exactly as Woody Allen did. Please use that same voice to say that Cheney shot a man. Listen to the podcast.]
News Flash: Launch of VicePresident.US on February 20, 2006
Today is the official launch of VicePresident.US... oh, and what a coincidence, it also happens to be Presidents Day.
How did we get here?
