So I was taking a quick trip on the 405 to Bellevue today (to an auto upholsterer - don't ask) when I saw something odd on the other side (e.g. heading north). First a single motorcycle officer had a car pulled over, then I noticed a complete absence of traffic, then a bunch of motorcycle police outriders, then cop car, cop car, black SUV, black SUV, black SUV with funky antennae, then ambulance and paramedic van. Maybe some more police after that, but I had stopped paying attention because upon seeing the abulance and paramedic van I immediately joked (to myself, I was alone) ...
"WTF? Is Dick Cheney in town?"
Then this evening on the news I saw
the Dick had been in town. The news had a soundbite of him saying something about the US upholding its promise to the Iraqi people. Somehow he didn't slip and instead say upholding the promises he made during his secret energy task force meetings. Ah well. If only the truth were that easy.
