For two full terms Dick Cheney served as Vice President, arguably the most influential and powerful VP ever, it may well be that he is not defending the record of President Bush but his own mistakes and inadequacies.
He had eight years to make his mark on this nation, and the results are all round us, an economy in ruins as evidenced by unprecedented increases in unemployment and housing foreclosures.
Perhaps the economy was not the strong point of his administration he claims to have done better on national security, where he engaged in a naked act of aggression against the people of Iraq with contrived justifications which attack killed over a hundred thousand Iraqis, a very, very conservative estimate, made half a million Iraqis refugees, and, destroyed the infrastructure in that country while strengthening the hand of extreme Muslim Fundamentalist factions throughout the region.
Mr Cheney, you were as good at you job as Vice President as I am a great singer, I am tone deaf but love karaoke.
When you were in office you maintained a comparatively low profile, perhaps you did not want to overshadow the President, which would have been very easy considering that he was an unmitigated idiot, now you have a very high profile and I cannot for a moment imagine why you obviously have nothing to contribute or you would have made that contribution when you had the chance.
Perhaps, you have too much time on your hands and you are doing this to stave off boredom and ennui.
If that is your problem I would suggest that you go around the country and find people to shoot accidentally, and, then also find very, very stupid people who will believe your version of these accidents.
I cannot advise you to put up or shut up, because you have already put up to the degree that would make you the most unpopular VP in the history of this nation, so can I prevail upon you to SHUT UP.

Support the Moats Family
It is my view that the Police Officer who pointed a gun at members of the Moats Family should be fired out of hand.
Taking thirteen minutes to write a ticket is one thing and stopping those individuals from being with a dying relative by some stretch of the imagination could be considered bad judgment, drawing and pointing a gun at citizens for running a stop sign is something else.
This Police Officer needs to be terminated and never be again be put in a position of being authorized to carry a firearm and point it at anyone.

I PERSEVERE
I PERSEVERE
Fur Elise, a composition for piano,is and always will be to me,
A piece of transcendent, incalculable, inestimable beauty.
Yet it was composed by someone losing his hearing,
Who, as a consequence, was never permitted to fully appreciate
The artistic immensity, ethereal majesty and awesome symmetry
He had brought into being.
So I dare not flinch from grappling with
The ultimate paradox and consummate irony of human existence,
I must from somewhere garner the will and spiritual resiliency
To persevere.

I CHALLENGE SENATOR OBAMA!
I CHALLENGE SENATOR OBAMA TO STAND BY HIS GUNS AND MAKE THIS ELECTION, FOR THE FIRST TIME AT LAST, ABOUT THE LIVES OF ORDINARY MEN AND WOMEN, AND, ABOUT HOW THESE LIVES CAN BE IMPROVED.
THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS APPROACH, THE ULTIMATE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS APPROACH IS THAT THE NECESSARY PREREQUISITE TO SOLVING ANY PROBLEM AND TO CREATING POSITIVE CHANGE IS AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM.
THE RULING ELITE HOLDS THAT THE USA IS A FUNCTIONING DEMOCRACY AND USE ALL THEIR ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL POWER TO IMPOSE THIS BELIEF ON THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS, SO PERPETUATING A SERE AND MALIGNANT REALITY IN WHICH NINETY PER CENT OF THE WEALTH IS IN THE HANDS OF FIVE PER CENT OF THE POPULACE.
THE TRUTH IS SOMETHING DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO THIS OPPORTUNISTIC PROPAGANDA - THAT THE EXISTENCE OF THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS IS INEVITABLY AND ULTIMATELY TRAGEDY, THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE BODY POLITIC ARE INTERMINABLY LANGUISHED ON A TREADMILL OF DESPAIR.
THIS DEPICABLE CONDITIONING IS AS OLD AS TIME ITSELF, FOR MANY CENTURIES THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH USED THE THREAT OF THE RACK AND OTHER EXQUISITE TORTURES TO CONDITION THE MAJORITY TO BELIEVE THAT THE WORLD WAS FLAT.
MORE RECENTLY THE DIXIE CHICKS, THE FRENCH AND THE GERMANS WERE OSTRACIZED AND DEMONIZED BY THE MINDLESS MAJORITY FOR DARING TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE ACT OF NAKED AGGRESSION THAT WAS THE ATTACK ON IRAQ.
THE TRUTH IS ANATHEMA TO TYRANNY AND THE APOLOGISTS AND SYCOPHANTS OF THE RULING ELITE ARE QUICK TO DENY THAT THERE ARE TWO POWERFUL RESPONSES TO THE EXPLOITATION AND UNBRIDLED CAPITALISM OF THIS UNHOLY CABAL, THE FIRST IS BECOMING ADDICTED TO RELIGON; THE SECOND, IS ENGAGING IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.
ANYONE WHO DARES TO STATE THAT THIS IS SO BECOMES A TARGET FOR THE OPPROBRIUM AND ANIMUS OF THOSE WHO, SELFISHLY AND SELF INTERESTEDLY, SEEK TO PERPETUATE THE STATUS QUO.
IT IS LIKELY THAT SENATOR OBAMA RISKS DEFEAT IF HE DARES TO PUBLICLY EMBRACE THE INCONVENIENT TRUTHS THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF BUT NONE DARE TO UTTER, BUT IF HE CHOOSES TO WALLOW IN THE COMFORTABLE AND CONSOLING LIES, OBFUSCATIONS, ILLUSIONS AND IRRATIIONAL BELIEFS THAT TOGETHER CREATE THE MASSIVE DELUSION THAT HAS CAUSED EXISTENCE TO BE A WAKING NIGHTMARE FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME FOR THE MAJORITY OF HUMAN BEINGS - HE WILL HAVE ABDICATED THE IDEALS AND PRINCIPLES HE HAS ESPOUSED; AND, DESTROYED THE LEGITIMATE HOPES AND ASPIRATIONS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED HIM, NOT FOR PERSONAL GAIN BUT FOR THE COMMON GOOD; NOT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE PORK BARREL BUT SO THAT THE NOTION THAT THERE CAN BE A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT PERISH BUT BECOME THE LIGHT THAT WILL ILLUMINATE THE PATH OF THE HUMAN SPECIES INTO A PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS FUTURE.
