Barack Extends Cheney Protection...

According to the DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU, President Barack Obama has extended Secret Service guard for former VP Dick Cheney -- for at least six months. Normally, ex-VPs only receive six months of protection at taxpayer expense. But Cheney asked for an extension, and President Obama - whom Cheney has criticized in several interviews since leaving office - recently signed off on his request. With all the controversy for Cheney as of late and what he could expect in the near future, this was probably a wise move.

Good luck, Dick!

Water expands 10% when it freezes.
The earth has a 4000 mile radius.
Three quarters of the earth's surface is covered by connected oceans.
