I found it slightly amusing that I share the last name with the man who was recently shot by Dick Cheney. http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/12/cheney/index.html

So, have you ever seen your name or someone you know's name in the news? Has it been you or them or just a coinicidence?

Gosh.. I read about the Cheney thing last night. Isn't that wonderful, go out for a nice day of hunting and get sprayed with birdshot in the face and chest. But he's doing okay now, I guess.

Closest thing in regards to the news thing.. When my family was taking in foster children, we saw a news story about a family of four children. The parents had basically deserted them and the oldest, an 8-year-old girl, was raising and feeding the other three. When DHS came and found them, the youngest one was eating cereal off the bathroom floor and the entire house was covered in cat feces.

That night around 2am, we got a call from our agency and we got the two youngest siblings.

oh, ouch, poor dude. but, no, there's never been anything like that happening to anyone with the same last name as mine.

What a d**k. :) That's so silly that he would accidentally shoot someone in the face. Hope he gets charged with something.
Anyways, no, nothing like that with the news has ever happened with me.

thank goodness it wasn't a random person who got shot...that would've been 100x worse.

CHENEY'S GOT A GUN...

here's another..

its funny how his name is starred out.

Really really, yeah, just really..

found out in US history that me and someone prominent in the Confederacy have the same last name. Mildly uncommon form of a last name, our's is. made me wonder about my very southern family.

If he had been a democrat, he wouldn't have gotten shot.
That's all I'm saying.

thats my friends last name too who knew??

ouch, i saw that on the news.
i know LB's last name. :> lol.
and to your question, no, i don't think so.

REALLY?!?! That's very interesting. My name isn't very common, lots of Whittinghams not a lot of Whittingtons.




OH NO! Don't stalk me Lana please!!!!

Guns don't kill people, d**k Cheney kills people.

Wait wait, is the old guy dead?

...can that be my new slogan or are you saving it?

Go for it.

No, he was doing okay but now he's had a heart attack. It was just a play off of the saying "guns don't kill people, people kill people".

i share my last nae with the battle of hastings, 1066.

hastings, not battle, just to clarify

What a f**king idiot. Haha.
