Dick Cheney & his heart pump - The dead walk the earth

[NeonLX]

Can someone please explain to me what this man is doing still "living"?

You probably don't really want to know what he is doing.

Now you know why the repubs fought Obamacare... to prevent the 'death panels' from most justly taking the life of one of their so beloved leaders.

Anyone see any dead alligators with their heart missing lying about?

It's a shame the doctors couldn't have installed a soul to go with the new heart.

Maybe if they had, Cheney might retrospectively unplug himself.

I was under the impression he "just" got a mechanical pump installed. Anyway - pretty much the only thing these rich fucks are good for now - guinea pigs for new medical tech.

Okay, why is that so damn funny??

Okay, why is that so damn funny??

For me, it's funny because those who wear their religion on their sleeve often turn out to be the most vicious among us.

I hate to be vindictive, but it's also funny because he'll be dead soon.

Dead, or more machine than man. Depends which bits go in which order.

Cheney says Canada ‘too dangerous’ for visit

Former Vice President Dick Cheney has foregone a trip to Canada on the grounds that it’s “too dangerous,” according to a report in Canada’s National Post.

Cheney was set to appear at an event in Toronto on April 24, but canceled on grounds that the risk of trouble from protesters was too great.

Cheney’s last Canadian appearance in September of 2011 erupted in violence as protesters swarmed the entrance of the private Vancouver club where the former Bush administration official and Iraq War architect was speaking. The protesters rained down verbal abuse on attendees and, in once instance, choked a security guard.

Vice President Cheney was trapped inside the venue for more than seven hours as police in riot gear attempted to disperse the crowd and quell to the resulting melee.

Ryan Riggins, a spokesperson for the promotions company who booked Cheney for the April 24 appearance said, “He felt that in Canada the risk of violent protest was simply too high.”

Cheney is a very low key Methodist, I don't grok your point about him wearing his religion on his sleeve.

In fact, it's a striking trait of most neo-cons that despite their willingness to play ball with evangelists and do big projects with their big money, few of them speak about religion at all. This is because they view the entire edifice of religion as a Strauss-style "necessary illusion."

[Simulist]

That's a fair point, Wombaticus Rex. Cheney's religion isn't as much a "denomination" (my Freudian fingers started to type "demon" as I began to type "denomination") as it is a civil religion, the "folk religion" of the culture he has helped to pervert and the empire he has served to foster.

And, you're right: he doesn't wear it on his "sleeve," rather his lapel.

[peartreed]

Canadians rejecting Cheney's oratory tend to have a rigorous radar for right wing reptilians who have ironically rendered their righteous religion as really irrelevant to their operating rationale and their regimes - having elected one as our prime minister.

Now THIS is funny. Oh, Canada.

This is funny cuz it's true:

Okay, why is that so damn funny??
