Did you know metafilter is open on weekends?

Oh, give him a break. He'd have to have done a search for "Cheney" down a full half-page to find anything at all.

Is it now?

Tsk, delmoi, the other one hadn't even left the front page yet. Shame, shame!

(psst....you're supposed to be setting a good example for us plebes in the $5 crowd. :) )

Well, I intended to do that. Dosn't that count?

Let us just scroll down and tell the other thread that it is a double post. While we here, at Delmoi's, can parody the old one. Then Mathowie will come by and remove all of our work from the front page.

Shot a lawyer? He deserves a medal!

You lost the Newsfilter race. You need to refresh Drudge more frequently.

you know, I thought this was a joke, because this post had already been doubled, even. If it had been a joke, it would have been a brilliant one. Oh well.

I liked the old one, but this new FPP benefits from pep. It's more current, and hotter.

I predict it will long be seen as a classic of its kind.

Since this happened yesterday, you don't suppose that somebody thought to post this before now, do ya? Nah!

You know, I bet if you just teach yourself a few mental "tricks" you'd have no problems remembering if posts had been made or not.

Note - the operative word here is not ``obscene'; it's ``bizarre'.

I love to post a funny photoshoped image in here, but I'm at work and don't have time. So use your imagination: Cheney's head for Elmer Fudd's and that lawyer from the simpsons (not Lionel Hutz, Burn's lawyer) instead of Daffy duck in a screen grab from the classic looney tunes. You know "Rabbit season" "No, duck season", but now "Rabbit Season" "Lawyer Season". I sure someone with more time can put this together...
