Kill the Wabbit. Kill the Wabbit.

Now that the Rhino has corrected an oversight by posting about college basketball, I think we should hit some of the other sports we've neglected, like hunting. It's a huge sport. Wikipedia says that, in 2001, over 13 million hunters spent 18 days hunting and spent $20.5 Billion on the sport.


To baby boomers, Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett and Elmer Fudd may be the most memorable hunters of the generation. They've now been eclipsed.

It's not every day that hunting gets covered in feature news. Usually Darcy Egan handles that on page 8 of the sports section. But when the Vice President of the United States shoots an attorney, that's news. The last time that happened is when Aaron Burr gunned down Alexander Hamilton, another attorney.

It's no secret that the Prez and VP have utter disdain for attorneys. That's why it surprised me when Uncle Dick didn't take a trophy, or at least notify the media to brag about it.

Maybe, like some other hunters, Uncle Dick was too liquored up to do either. I'm sure that the breathalyzer test they took on the scene will dispel that nasty rumor. Oh yeah. The secret service didn't let the local authorities speak to the Vice Prez, let alone have him blow. Well, we can just take his word that "alcohol wasn't involved." I'm satisfied.
