ARTICLE: Cheney booed throwing out first pitch at baseball game

Yeah, I laughed a little when I read that too.

Bush got booed last year, so what did he expect? On top of that, Cheney threw the ball too low and it hit the dirt before the pitcher caught it. I guess he has a general problem with his aim: baseballs, shotguns...stuff like that.

Feedback, please!

Hey L.W. The Vice-Dick didn't use a rifle to hunt quail. Find/Change "rifle" to "shotgun".

Find/Change "rifle" to "shotgun". Done, and thanks! BTW, what is the difference? I am a novice when it comes to firearms.

Rifles get their name from the grooves or "riflings" that are etched into the barrel to create spin so the projectile (aka as a bullet) can have more speed. Shotguns gets their name from the tiny pellets or balls of shot that are blasted from the casing or shell. If you want to get a deer then a rifle is your best best. One bullet for one deer. If you're firing up into a flock of quail you use a shotgun and it fires little bits of birdshot at them. I think those are the basic differences.

Hmm. Fascinating. My dad hunts, but I never asked him about what he used. I just ate what he brought home! :-)
