Local Dick Cheney enjoys VIP ratings at disclosed location
By LUKE SHOCKMAN
BLADE STAFF WRITER
Dick Cheney's wife would like you to know that his approval rating is doing just fine, thank you very much.
"I'm doing OK," he confirmed, though he admitted he hasn't checked the latest polls.
No, not that Dick Cheney, our nation's vice president and a sometime quail and lawyer hunter.
This Dick Cheney lives in Maumee.
Readers who saw yesterday's letters to the editor in The Blade may have done a double take after reading a letter from Maumee's Mr. Cheney criticizing President Bush.
"It's my name, and I had it before he did," said the 74-year-old. "I'm not changing it just because it's associated with that dweeb."

President commits crimes against peace
Having grown up during World War II and having followed the subsequent Nuremberg Trials, I'm curious as to why President Bush and his administration have not been indicted by the International War Crimes Tribunal. Probably, the answer lies in the age-old fact that "might makes right."
Reading over the principles of the Nuremberg Tribunal (1950), I would think the President and others could be indicted for crimes against peace (i.e. planning, preparation, initiation, or waging of a war of aggression or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements, or assurances).
To see the results of their unnecessary war: a country devastated; thousands of American soldiers (and innocent Iraqi women and children) killed or maimed; billions of dollars wasted (to be paid by our children and grandchildren), I do not believe that their actions deserve impunity.
