Apologies: My Face Got In The Way Of Your Bullet

Truth is false and logic lost
Now the fourth dimension is crossed
You have entered the twilight zone
Beyond this world strange things are known

Beyond bizarre:
Cheney Shooting Victim: Accidents Happen
Friday, February 17, 2006

The hunter shot by Dick Cheney said Friday that "accidents do and will happen" and said he is sorry for all the hullabaloo and scrutiny the incident has brought upon the vice president and his family.
[...]
He added: "My family and I are deeply sorry for all Vice President Cheney and his family had to deal with this week. ...We hope he will continue to come to Texas and seek the relaxation he deserves."

Whittington's appearance in front of a Corpus Christi hospital in Texas was his first since the 78-year-old was accidentally shot in the face, neck and chest by the vice president during a quail-hunting trip last weekend. He did not answer questions.

Dear "Guy Who Got Shot In the Face": You got shot in the face....So you're apologizing....for what now?

This is ridiculous. It's like something out of a medieval time where leaders were never culpable for their actions.

So sorry, Czar Peter! Didn't mean to stick my mouth in the way of your fist!
