I love you, MG, but this is certainly part of the *politics channel. the description is "The Politics channel is for videos featuring political discussions about government policy or politicians in general." This is certainly a comedic discussion about the politician Cheney in general. No?
It's funny, and I'm somewhat squeamish about hunting, but I think he might be barking up the wrong tree.
Quail hunting is actually one of the more lively and challenging types of hunting (if done reasonably). You're walking a lot, trying to lead and control dogs, trying to find the covey's, and regardless of what Lewis Black thinks it takes pretty good reflexes and aim to shoot wild birds as they scatter. If they're pen-raised or have their wings clipped then yes it's much less sporting.
Deer hunting I would say is less sporting, because you're typically sitting in a stand or a blind for hours just waiting for a deer to wander past. You can take your time, line up a good shot, and blam.
Also most properties will have fencing. That doesn't make it any less sporting with regard to deer or quail because they can both easily go over or through those fences. And the ranch that Cheney was hunting on is insanely huge so a fence around the perimeter could still be miles away.
Helmets fitted with masklike visors were a popular German and Austrian fashion about 1510 to 1540. With their visors forged and embossed as humorous or grotesque human masks, such helmets were often worn in tournaments held during the exuberant pre-Lenten (Shrovetide) festivals, celebrations somewhat akin to the modern Mardi Gras. Substitute visors of more conventional type were often provided for everyday use.
Interestingly, the postulated 1515 date for this helmet would make it contemporary with the “horned helmet” previously posted at Neatorama.

Not really a political discussion.
