Cha Ching Cheney
In August 2004, the Securities and Exchange
Commission brought charges against the energy-services company,
Halliburton, its former CFO Gary Morris, and its onetime controller Robert
Muchmore Jr. for failure to disclose a change in the company's accounting
practice related to cost overruns.
The
change was made during Vice President Cheney's tenure as Halliburton's
chief executive. The SEC had alleged that Morris and Muchmore were
responsible for hiding a 1998 accounting change that should have been
reported in Halliburton's public filings.

"He was a natural crusader and political
activist, with great sympathy for our un-represented Commonwealth,"
Marianas Gov. Benigno R. Fitial wrote, using official government
stationery.
The Marianas, known for their low-paying garment factories, hired Abramoff
to keep the islands' workers exempt from U.S. laws like the minimum wage.
Air Force Capt. Andrew Cohen, a chaplain, wrote the court about Abramoff's generosity in taking in Cohen's family of seven for several weeks last year
when the military family couldn't find housing.
“Remember last week when Jessica Simpson declined to meet President Bush at that Republican fundraiser? That was a big story about ten days ago? Well, she now says they have plans to sit down together and talk face to face. President Bush talking with Jessica Simpson, wow. That should be a real no-brainer, huh?” -- Jay Leno

Ann Coulter Would Look Lovely In Black and White Stripes
This time, claiming she doesn't even live here —
as GOP pundit Ann Coulter has been doing on this spring's college speaking
tour when she's questioned about her February election meltdown on Palm
Beach — isn't going to cut it.
Palm Beach County's elections supervisor has given the right wing's
unofficial mouthpiece 30 days to explain why she voted in the wrong
precinct.
"We want to give her a chance," Anderson said. "She needs to tell us where
she really lives."
Or else? He could refer the case
to State Attorney Barry Krischer for criminal charges, Anderson said
