An exercise in DETENTE...
...and, truly, history was in the making!

Evidently, a great encounter took place fairly recently between Vice President Cheney, and Dave Oliveria, erstwhile leader of a gang of bloggers at www.spokesmanreview.com/blogs/hbo, otherwise known as "Huckleberries Online". By all accounts, Oliveria graciously turned down Cheney's offer to go quail hunting. Later, it was found that the Spokesman-Review, who employs Oliveria, doesn't include hunting accidents in its employee-insurance program.

How could I let this occasion slip by without documenting it in best commemorative style? Answer; I didn't. Here, for all to see, is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, frozen for posterity:

And you can bet that if Mr. Oliveria has after-dinner-cocktails with Prezzident Bush anytime soon, I'll be around to document that, too. Never fear!
