    [The cover of] Dick Cheney's book pictures him in the same suit, and the same shirt, and the same tie, and the same flag pin, and the exact same placement of the flag pin, standing in the exact same place where President Barack Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden...Dick Cheney's new book pictorially makes him the guy who killed bin Laden.

Never had a tax course in my background, never had a desire for it, but by faith, I was going to be faithful to what I thought God was calling me to do through my husband.
