He doesn't go back as much as he used to, but he used to visit Kish often in the days when the Halliburton House was still in Cheney's name. The island even used to keep a register ranking its residence in order of wealth (Cheney was #76, if you're up for some useless trivia). He even once gave me a local newspaper with this info in it, although since I can't read Farsi, I can just stare at it and say, "uh-huh."
