Just got home from shopping and heard the news about VP Cheney. FoxNews is reporting that an EKG is completely normal and the check on his pacemaker (or whatever it is) shows nothing unusual. He has been suffering from a cold and the most likely cause of the shortness of breath seems to be from that.

Given his position and his medical history, I'm guessing that he gets things checked out that most of us would just brush off. Prayers continue for his health, though.

Agree with your Cheney take, kayak.

Last word before back to the grind: one of the financial gurus on the radio is now saying he believes that the '05 economy will defy the experts and be quite a bit better than the '04 economy. For what it is worth, I agree with him on this - o'course I'm a perennial optimist and supply side believer, as is he.
