Removing Where's Dick Post

Uggh... How will this foster a discussion any different than the other "Where's Dick" threads we have had without having any linked supporting evidence.

It's gone. Wow.

*poof* Wow. That was quick.

In case people are wondering, and because it's probably important in the long run:

A front-page post whose only link is to a file photo in JPEG format can only be an attempt to cover up for what would otherwise be a linkless post.

Also, I think we've had a few of these threads in the past. If you really need to know if Dick is alive or not, go to Cheney Heart Watch.

I think I can explain the speedy exit of the post. We all remember the We Need Dick! campaign of the supposedly anti-gay Landover Baptist Church. Read the reasons why they needed Dick("he'll give us any weapons we want!")back in the year 2000 and you'll find ample grounds for deletion.

Let the man die with dignity, I say. Or never mind. This constant harrassment by noble old Postroad, forcing Dick to make costly public appearances for the benefit of us MeFis, will be the death of him anyway. ;)

Oh look: here's an interesting Russ Smith/"Mugger" rant from The New York Press on the Cheney disappearance.
