In the Senate chamber, VP Cheney tells Leahy to “fuck [him]self”
"According to congressional aides, Leahy said hello to Cheney ... Cheney then ripped into Leahy for the Democratic senator's criticism this week of alleged war profiteering in Iraq by Halliburton, the oil services company that Cheney once ran." I think we've all learned a lesson here: Do not say "Hello" to Cheney.

From North Africa to Leicester, transcribed 60 years later by their son -- a lovely site, to be sure. They were found when Eric passed away in the late 1980's, just a few years after his wife, Olive. A quote from Olive: "Let's hope this war will soon be over for I for one have had just about enough of it. I little thought what it would mean to us. Do you remember that night after Chamberlain had been to Munich and I said then it worried me that there should be a war little knowing that we should be separated by the beastly thing. "
