Okay Neo, I'm wondering about these 2 points of light this morning- 1. Why on Earth was Tricky Dick taking Dilantin...? This makes no sense... 2. What is the origin of 'jism'...as an expression of ejaculate...? I thought you might know the answers here.

It most certainly is my/our business. If someone like Cheney serves in a high government post, then decides to parlay his government experience into a $40M payoff with a private business, and then decides to re-enter the public arena, then steps A, B, C are all part of the deal. We can't say, "Let's ignore B because he was in private business at the time." Sorry. It doesn't work that way. Had Cheney not re-entered the public arena, then I agree with you: It's nobody's business but Cheney's, the company's and the company's shareholders. But since he is a candidate for public office once again, it's important to know what exactly he did to earn his $40M. You can't just pick and choose which portions of a candidate's life are open and which are closed to public perusal. Dan Burton and other members of the GOP Hall of Shame wish that were the case, but, alas, it ain't.
