EVEN IN DAYLIGHT, CHENEY BRINGS THE DARK

It's nice to see a dude happy in his job, even if it is "hard work," as he continually reminded us during Herr Rove's 2004 Campaign to Steal America, Phase III.

Toward the end of the interview, Cheney was queried as to his feelings about having poll numbers lower than the 33% enjoyed by George.

With typical hubris the Dick responded that the King and he would be done with politics after this term, so they didn't pay attention to the polls.

Said he, we're doing what we think is best for the Country.

Damn what the people want!

They refuse to pull our troops out of Iraq because that will cause terrorists to attack U.S. targets at home.

He's talking with callous disregard about your sons and daughters, husbands and wives, partners and parents; somebody's brothers, sisters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins; everyone's friends and neighbors.

Realize that not one person in the White House Fascist Regime has a direct link to anyone serving in the military - or even getting smashed nightly in Alabama on an Air National Guard flight lieutenant's paycheck.

Mr. Five Deferment Cheney quit school in the middle of his doctorate program as soon as the draft would no longer affect him.

Doing what's best for the Country, my 100% Italian-American posterior!

The longer we stay in Iraq, the more money Halliburton and other Rove/Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rice Charities make off U.S. taxpayers and dead brown people.

These people don't believe in traditional charities, such as the United Way and Jerry Lewis' MDA Telethons. They feel an entitlement to line their own pockets is a grand charity, the best and only one - and all the lesser beings of the World must contribute.

On the recent anniversary of the Columbine shootings, Bill Clinton was present to turn a shovel of dirt, finally starting the long-awaited memorial, which he worked hard to make a reality. I couldn't begin to imagine a member of the Royal Bush's or Dark Lord Cheney's participating in any such event.

The memorial fund had raised something like $1.2 Million, but as of that day was still about $350,000.00 short. One speaker mentioned that the golf club across the road offered to match the next $50,000.00 in contributions that came in.

From the back of the dais, Mr. Clinton said tell them to write the check, because he was taking care of the first $50 thousand.

Now, this isn't something the former President did for a photo op. He wasn't looking for glory. This wasn't on any network news show that I know of; rather I came across a relatively small article in a Colorado newspaper.
