Random Trivia du Jour 

As y'all know already, Dick Cheney shot his buddy Harry Whittington while on a quail hunt back in February. Cheney buddy Katherine Armstrong's 49,300 acre ranch in Texas was home to the most notorious hunting trip in recent times. Now, Katherine Armstrong is the great grand-daughter of famed Texas Ranger, John Barclay Armstrong. And John Barclay Armstrong's claim to fame is that he captured the "meanest man alive," John Wesley Hardin. Yes, the same John Wesley Harding immortalized by Bob Dylan, albeit with an extra G. In fact, the ranch where Cheney shot Whittington was bought with the $4,000 John Barclay Armstrong got as bounty for capturing John Wesley Hardin.
