WASHINGTON, D.C. - A White House source stated that Congress is
considering awarding Vice-President Dick Cheney the Medal of Freedom,
the nation's highest civilian commendation, for his act of bravery in
shooting an attorney. The source was quoted to say, " All Americans
have wanted to shoot a lawyer at one time or another and Cheney
actually had the guts to do it". In a related story, the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department, which issues hunting licenses, said that it
will start requiring hunters, wishing to bag a lawyer, to have the new
"Barrister stamp" on their hunting license. Currently, Texas hunters
are required to carry stamps for hunting birds, deer, and bear, at a
cost of $7 annually. The new "lawyers stamp" will cost $100, but open
season will be all year long. The department further stated that
although the "lawyers stamp" comes at a hefty price, sales have been
brisk and it is believed it will generate annual revenues in excess of
$3 billion the first year.
Other states are considering similar hunting stamps.
