My god! Do you realize that had this really been another fatal bicycle grazing (which most folks, I believe, would call “abrasions”), Dick Cheney would . . . would . . . . well, I guess he’d still be president.

I don’t think Mr Happy was having a go at me, seems he was having a go at some unspecified ‘liberal’. Pssst! Joseph! I think he was talking to you!
Look at the time of the first post: 8:25. At that time, GW falling off his bike was the top story of the day here in the UK, and the way it was being reported you’d think his life was hanging by a thread. (They made the same huge song and dance over an aged royal choking on a fish-bone, and a young royal breaking his ankle, so GW’s in good company).
And yup, I do think that it would be worthy of a Darwin Award… can you imagine the stupidity of it? The 59 year old Prez kills himself on the morning of birthday, at perhaps the most important G8 summit of the decade, by pedalling around the estate furiously on a new bike like a kid of 8?
Of course, 25 minutes later bombs started going off all over London and now frankly no-one gives a rat’s arse about GW falling off his shiny new bike. (Except Mr Happy perhaps, who seems to have gotten out of bed the wrong side this morning).
Well, it could have been me I suppose. No-one in a confined space with 100 rampaging mad bull elephants would expect to come out feeling very well to say the least. But do I want him dead? Nah. We need him alive just in case there’s ever a war crimes hearing…

You had to put it that way, didn’t you.
Are Secret Service Agents allowed to write memoirs?
Plenty have, especially those who served under Clinton.
Quite all right… we all need to exorcise our inner moron once in a while. :roll:
I thought it was interns that served under Clinton?
yer battin 1000, ya divil! We should get a sound emoticon of a rimshot, just for such occasions.
give that man a cigar!
