It is called no health insurance.

I sincerely doubt if mother Mary ever faced much hardship. There is a country mile between mother Mary and her forebears. I sincerely doubt if mother Mary ever faced much hardship.

But he wasn't the star. That distinction belonged to Lynne Vincent, Cheney's girlfriend and future wife. A straight-A scholar, Lynne was elected Mustang Queen, the equivalent of most popular girl. She was also a state-champion baton twirler, a big deal in 1950s Wyoming. To begin her routine, Lynne would set both ends of a baton on fire and throw it in the air while her boyfriend stood inconspicuously off to the side holding a coffee can filled with water. When Lynne was finished with her pyrotechnic act, she would pass her flaming baton to Cheney, who, while the audience applauded and Lynne curtsied, would quietly douse the fires by sticking each end of the baton in the coffee can. Kind of like his current role, except the baton is the world, and the coffee can might be filled with fuel oil. http://www.rotten.com/library/bio/usa/dick-cheney/ A recent Time Magazine profile of Vice President Dick Cheney opened with the following anecdote:
