Dick Cheney

I am an American and a Republican. I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska to Richard Herbert Cheney and Marjorie Dickey. My father worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a soil conservation agent and was a registered Democrat. He has a brother, Bob, and a sister, Susan. He was a kinky freak. he used to dress us up and make us do weird home movies. I grew up in Casper, Wyoming, and met his high-school sweetheart and future wife, Lynne Vincent, at age fourteen. One of his first known ancestors was Ralph de Chesney, Sire of Quesnay who fought on the side of William the Conqueror in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.I excelled athletically in high school. I made love to a senior faculty member in exchange for favors. I was subsequently elected the Natrona County High School senior class president, represented the school at Boys State, and played halfback on the football team. After high school graduation in 1959 and during the next six summers, I worked on power lines and was a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union.In November 1962 at age twenty one, I was convicted for the first of two offences of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). According to the docket from Municipal Court, I was arrested for drunkenness and "operating motor vehicle while intoxicated." A Police Judge found me guilty of the two charges and I was given a 30-day suspension of his driver's license. He also had to forfeit a $150 bond posted at the time of his arrest.Details of my second Wyoming arrest, in July 1963, have fallen victim to time and record destruction practices. However, a police arrest card similar to the one that haunted President George W. Bush and maintained by the Rock Springs Police Department shows that I was fined $100 for his second DWI conviction. At the time, it was not possible for the authorities in each area to link the two convictions which would have resulted in the second offence being viewed much more seriously. Since his second Wyoming arrest, I have had no further convictions. I've learned. Wiley CHeyney can't catch me. Na nana na na na! Sorry Scooter.In 1964, I married Lynne Vincent. Mrs. Cheney has a BA with highest honors from Colorado College, an MA from The University of Colorado, and a Ph.D from The University of Wisconsin specializing in British literature. She has authored or co-authored eight books and numerous articles. She served from 1986 to 1996 as Chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities, appointed by Ronald Reagan. When she gets mad she kills peoples pets, It,s scarry. She was at one time a co-host on CNN's Crossfire. She is now a public speaker and author, and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.I was of military age during the Vietnam War but he did not serve in the war. On May 19, 1965, I was classified as 1-A "available for service" by the Selective Service. On October 26, 1965 the Selective Service lifted the constraints on drafting childless married men. However, after his daughter was born, I applied for and received a reclassification of 3-A, making me unlikely to be drafted. But I'm no pussy I still like to get drunk and fight!I have two adult daughters, Elizabeth and Mary, and four grandchildren. Elizabeth was born in 1966 and is married to Philip J. Perry, a Lockheed Martin Corp. lobbyist who was nominated by Pres. George W. Bush in March or April, 2005, to be General Counsel of the Department of Homeland Security. The Perrys have four children. Elizabeth graduated from the University of Chicago Law School in 1996 and has worked as an international law attorney, consultant. She currently works for the State Department's Near East Affairs Bureau. Our family has always had a leather wearing gimp constrained in a cage. Kind of like Mcain. Mary is one of her father's top campaign aides and closest confidantes and lives in Denver, Colorado. By some estimates, there will be an average of two-percent annual growth in global oil demand over the years ahead, along with, conservatively, a three-percent natural decline in production from existing reserves. That means by 2010 we will need on the order of an additional 50 million barrels a day.
