Everywhere I look today I see Cheney’s mug. Leering as if to remind me: “You may have been right about Iraq. you may be right about torture. And maybe we did screw the pooch on this Plame thing. But remember: I’m barking dog mad. And, I know where you live.”
It makes me nostalgic for happier times. When Cheney would spend his days holed up in an undisclosed bunker.
Here’s some other little tidbits that might get overlooked on Cheney’s big day out:
- The truth outs ten years too late: “HOUSTON — A decade after Ruben Cantu was executed for capital murder, the only witness to the crime is recanting and his co-defendant says Cantu, then 17, was not even with him that night.”
- Add the National Cancer Institute to the War on Science: “The National Cancer Institute said yesterday that it will cancel its online subscription to a widely read weekly newsletter that has been publishing unflattering articles about the institute and its director, Andrew C. von Eschenbach.”
- Nine oil companies were asked to help subsidize heating oil costs for US poor. Guess which one returned the phone call: “It came from Citgo Petroleum Corp., a company controlled by the Venezuelan government of President Hugo Chavez, a nettlesome adversary of the United States who has accused the Bush administration of plotting to assassinate him and invade his oil-rich country.”
