Inspired by the shotgun shooting of an old man by Vice President Dick Cheney, an enterprising entrepreneur in Texas has recently opened the Circle C shooting ranch, where elderly men “rounded up” from the state’s old people’s homes will be let loose and hunted by paying customers. But don’t worry, the men sign waivers allowing themselves to be hunted, and the hunters themselves use harmless paint pellet rifles that merely leave red welts on the “prey”.
The ranch has proved immensely popular among Republicans, who have flocked to the Circle C for long weekends of shooting, drinking and complaining about liberals.
