Young woman would be more accurate (less sensationalist too).

A fact checking story on Yahoo had a long list of factual errors in Cheney's speech.

Also, David Brooks of the NYT has an interesting take which puts Bush in a more positive light and Cheney about right where he is now.

“Seven-and-a-half years without a repeat is not a record to be rebuked and scorned,” Cheney said.

But those first 6 months do deserve rebuke and scorn. It is a wonder that Bush-Cheney did not take a political fall for 9-11. And not owning up to his failure to protect America…

What are the odds of any regular joe knowing what the stuff going out of the wing is in the first place?

Abortion-on-demand, which is currently so politically correct,

As for science proving when live begins, it could happen but I doubt it would change much. Many pro-lifers have no problems…

And yet another world-famous Canadian.

Ah, the inevitable flag waving Canuck ... remember that we have Brian Adams, Celine Dijon, among others to remind us that we too make mistakes.
