The Pendragon's Hall

The latest round of newsmaking concerns Vice-President Cheney's visit to Auschwitz. While the other dignitaries wore somber black suits (the fur hats in the photo have gone unnoticed) he wore a heavy green coat and thick winter hat. The press doesn't like this because it demonstrates he was thinking more "of his own comfort" than of the victims who perished at Auschwitz. Give me a break. If it's cold you bundle up, you morons! They claim he didn't bundle up at his swearing-in a week or so ago but neither did anyone else. I see fur hats in the photo on www.cnn.com; I didn't see any in Washington. Cheney's staff had no comment. Good for them! This should be proof to anyone who doubts it that the press is filled with bored people who've failed at everything else and now feel the need to make news in order to have something to report.
