NO political crap posted or cross posted.

However, I do have a politcal question. For a few weeks several
cartoons (Dunesbury, Mallard Fillmore, Candorville) in the newspaper
have been running story lines about Cheney and the "4th branch" of
gov'ment ie. the vice president's office. Where did this come from?

Cheney's office has refused a request for records from Comgress with a claim
the it isn't part of the executive branch of government.
Since it isn't one of the three branch's the constitution spells out, the
running joke is that Cheney has created a fourth, and unnacountable, branch.
