The Day After Cheney Day

For those of you who don't know, yesterday was a very important holiday here in America - Dick Cheney Day. A day that I annually like to kick off by celebrating the fact that I for one, have never been shot in the face by a drunken old neo-con. That's right...Yesterday, it was two years to the day that our current veep shot a 78 year old Texas attorney in the face with a 28 gauge Perazzi shotgun.

Which brings us to today, February 12th, The Day After Cheney Day. This is also another, lesser known/celebrated national holiday. This is the day every year when you apologize to someone that has seriously wronged you in the past year. Yep, you read that correctly - on The Day After Cheney Day, YOU APOLOGIZE for getting screwed over, seriously injured, etc. to the person that caused your perceived injustice. For example, take the incident that is this holiday's namesake. After being released from the hospital, Harry Whittington apologized to the V.P. for placing his face, shoulder, and chest in the way of Cheney's shotgun blast as they hunted tame, domesticated quail. He realized he should not have been so errant with the positioning of his body anywhere in front of, behind, in the same county as the V.P. with a shotgun and subsequently apologized.

So now that you see how this holiday works, get to it!
