WASHINGTON — Vice President Dick Cheney exercised his executive iPod privileges on a recent Air Force Two flight where electrical plugs were at a premium because of a power fritz.

On the long haul back from a four-day trip to the Middle East highlighted by a surprise trip to Iraq, Cheney made it a priority to get his iPod a little juice — commandeering use of one of the few power outlets on the jet.

I think they were just sore because he was listening to
"Uncle John's band" by the Dead.

their motto is "Don't tread on me!"...."

Exactly I've had it with this administration and their flagrant abuse of power outlets. I want congressional hearings on this. headed by Democrats, in the dark, so that they can show the American people that they are not outlet abusers like the Cheney's of this world.

Who will sign my petition.

When it comes to a choice between listening to Johnny Cash or letting some lamestream reporters charge their laptops so they can email their editors a bunch of the same old recycled, canned crap to put in their papers, I know what I'd choose. I'd take the Man in Black anyday.

By the way, Merry Christmas to all of you.
