"The Right to Arm Bears" by Steve Payne
 Author
says: in which we amuse ourselves by envisioning a rather different
hunting incident for the former Vice President? Please note that the
opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the
author(s).
In 2006, the conservative
political commentator Rush Limbaugh was accidentally peppered in the face
with birdshot pellets by Vice President Dick Cheney during a hunt in the
north-western United States.
Cheney had turned to shoot what he thought was a fat grizzly bear but
fortunately Limbaugh escaped unscathed as the majority of the bird-shot
lodged in his jowls.
When asked for a comment in his hospital bed, Rush chirped that it was an
honor to be shot by such a great American.

Imagine what would be, if history had occurred a bit
differently. Who says it didn't, somewhere? These fictional news items
explore that possibility. Possibilities such as America becoming a Marxist
superpower, aliens influencing human history in the 18th century and Teddy
Roosevelt winning his 3rd term as president abound in this interesting
fictional blog.
