...think that a Supreme Court justice can be bought so cheap, the nation is in deeper trouble than I had imagined." ANTONIN SCALIA, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, in a 21-page memorandum declaring that he will not recuse himself from a case before the court regarding Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force, despite his friendship with Cheney...
...have to be poor and black to play the blues; you just have to be soulful and expressive. So you shouldn't dismiss the new blues cover albums by Eric Clapton and Aerosmith simply because both acts are richer, whiter and scarier to look at than Dick Cheney.

...expensive spy satellites and put more into human intelligence. Another G.O.P. charge: that Kerry voted 10 times in 1990 against weapons like the F-15, F-16, Patriot missile and M-1 tank. Actually it was only one vote--against an appropriations bill that funded all these weapons. Dick Cheney, then Defense Secretary, also wanted to reduce funding for these weapons...
