Garrison keillor dick cheney

A summer Sunday in an old Midwestern river town, walking down the avenue under the elms past yards burgeoning, with vinous and hedgy things and multicolored flowerage, the industry of each homeowner shown in the beauty offered to the passerby. The children of these homeowners may be telling their therapists harrowing tales of emotional deprivation suffered in this very home, and yet back in April and May, weekends were devoted to making this front yard splendid, and that is worth something. Much can be forgiven of those who make beautiful things. And also for the stories.

A lawyer was playing golf when he got hit by a ball. Martha Stewart has a new recipe for chicken casserole. You boil the chicken and dump the stock. There was a pro-Martha Stewart rally.

Evidently some people were disappointed that Dick Cheney didn? I thought Philip Roth should? When a man has shot somebody in the face with a shotgun, people are going to be reluctant to line up en masse in his presence lest he get excited again. As for Cheney? I whupped Gary Bauer?

Washington, D. In a string of high-profile jobs -- as President Ford's chief of staff, as a GOP leader in the House, as secretary of defense -- Cheney has rarely sought, or attracted, the limelight. Even now he jokes about his reputation as the man lurking in the shadows. The Dick Cheney of today, perhaps the most powerful vice president in history, cuts a striking contrast to past incarnations of the man.
