Although just a week removed from his heart transplant, it was revealed minutes ago that former Vice President Dick Cheney will be visiting the Elk Grove area today.
Cheney has selected Elk Grove to announce the launch of his newest endeavor, dubbed the Quad F or "Fracking For Freedom Foundation." Sources said Elk Grove was selected because it coincides with a previously planned fun-raiser for Congressman Dan Lungren at the Alta Mesa Gun Club in nearby Wilton.
"After his transplant, the Vice President had an epiphany of sorts," press aid Scotter Libby said. "Mr. Cheney wants to dispel the notion that he has no heart and what better way to do this than start a foundation espousing the virtues of fracking."
Cheney, a lighting rod during his tenure was often derided by critics for his hardheartedness and speaking vulgarities to opposing politicians. Cheney famously told Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy on the senate floor to "Go f*ck yourself."
Libby said that the exact location of the announcement will not be revealed until later this morning citing security concerns. After the announcement, Cheney will to the Alta Mesa Gun Club in Wilton for a private fun-raiser for Republican Congressman Dan Lungren who faces a fierce battle with Democrat Dr. Ami Berra.
"The Vice President feels vigorous and is ready for the challenges of this election year," Libby said. "But he is under strict orders from his doctor not to shoot any shotguns or drink beer while in Wilton."
"That ought to allay any fears his friends might have about his appearance at the gun club," Libby noted.

Well, Whoop de doo.......
Well....Whoop de doo!
The last person I would want to see at a gun range is Cheney lest your want your face blasted with shotgun pellets. Way to go Dick!
The story's inclusion of former Vice-President Dick Cheney's shortcomings instead of giving him props for his public service is telling...don't mention his service as Secretary of Defense and architect of the Iraq invasion. Under his direction tens of thousands of american lives were saved because of it's brilliant tactical strategy. Oh..but it was all about the oil wasn't it? So is Ahghanistan all about the Opium?
Yeah, he was so giving of himself that he took several student deferments to avoid "serving" his country during the Vietnam era.
In his own words: "I had other priorities in the '60s than military service."
So much for "serving" his country when they called on him.
There is a word for guys like Cheney - Chickenhawk. Way to go Dick!
This was obviously an april fools joke tat was in bad taste.
Why was it in bad taste Anon?
Wasn't it Cheney who blasted his friend in the face with a shotgun while they were 'hunting' and drinking beers (I don't think the NRA would give their seal of approval for this combination) with women who were not their wives? Then for good measure failed to report it for several hours. Anyone else would have had the book thrown at him.
So no, this doesn't appear to be in bad taste. It is called satire in case you missed that lesson in school.
