Administration denies "scurrilous allegations" that Vice President Burr killed Hamilton in duel.
  • Aaron Burr, Dick Cheney and the 12th Amendment

    Aaron Burr is the reason for the 12th Amendment, allowing for political parties and letting two people run separately for President and Vice-President on the same ticket. That amendment states that the two people have to be from different states. Unfortunately for Bush and Cheney, both were claimed Texas as home in 2000. Fortunately for Bush and Cheney, a compliant Supreme Court ruled that Cheney really, honestly truly nice nice with sugar on top was from Wyoming, despite his tax forms and drivers license. Perhaps Cheney has been seethng at his false home of Texas ever since and has been itching to mess with Texas. Shooting a Bush Pioneer in the face seems a bit extreme, but this is a very extreme administration. Both Bush and Cheney are known known for being foolishly stubborn and being very very bad shots.
