Did you realize that accidental shootings–like the one by Vice President Dick Cheney of a hunting companion back in 2006, which prompted hilarious comparisons to Elmer Fudd–is actually the least of the exposures facing insurers covering the risks of the sport? That was news to me, but it made for some great reading in this week's NU cover story report by Phil Gusman.

I realize my choice of art may get me in some hot water with Republican fans of the Veep, but I just couldn't help myself, not after recalling how the New York Post (no friend of Democrats) made hay with the story when it first happened by sporting a shot of Vice President Cheney's face photo-shopped onto cartoon hunter Elmer Fudd's body on its front page.
