Watch Out For Armed And Dozing Dick Upstate

Ah, its that time of year again. The air is getting cool, the leaves are starting to change and by golly, its a huntin season. If you live in Dutchess County be prepared for Darth Vader Dick Cheney to come out with his gun in your woods. Yes, the man who shot his friend is back for more. This time residents are warned to be extra careful, especially if he dozes off while shooting buck shot.

From The Poughkeepsie Journal:

Vice President Dick Cheney is coming to Dutchess County again to go hunting, according to two sources familiar with his plans. Cheney will arrive Sunday night and head to a hunting club in Dutchess Monday morning.

Cheney is expected to arrive Sunday night at Stewart airport and travel to a hotel in Poughkeepsie, sources said.

On Monday morning, he is expected to leave Poughkeepsie and head to the Clove Valley Rod & Gun Club in LaGrangeville.

Motorists can expect road closures and considerable associated delays on Interstate 84 and Route 9 Sunday night, and on Route 55 and again on Interstate 84 on Monday. Depending on what time he travels Monday morning, his trip could disrupt school bus service in affected areas.

Now to be fair to the VP, he did shoot his friend in South Texas, so who knows, maybe he'll be more careful up here in the Northeast. Still, even if I wanted to go to Poughkeepsie, I'd avoid the area Sunday night through Monday.
