It's a Boy!
Mary Cheney had a baby...

Congratulations are at hand for Mary Cheney and her partner, Heather Poe, for the birth of their first baby son, Samuel David Cheney.
Under Virginia law, Mary’s partner of 15 years “will have no legal relationship with the child, can not adopt as a second parent, and her name will not be anywhere on the birth certificate."
Sheesh. Harsh.
The question now is this: Will Dick Cheney continue to support homophobic legislature, denying the same rights from homosexual families that "normal" families enjoy ... when it's his own grandson?
I guess we'll see.
