So Cheney is admitted to the cardiac unit...

[Not Me]

(under a false name...but deceit is their way) and NONE of the MSM websites even note it...not CNN.com, MSNBC.com, not even FOXNEWS.com

Seems they are following orders well.

[Warpy]

1. Do you suppose he has one of those recalled

pacer/defibrillators? Wouldn't that be just too delicious?

Reduce regulation! Increase profit! Kill a few people, just budget for the payoffs to make the suits go away!

[Hugin]

2. Ahh... Do you have a link?

I'd think they would want a diversion right about now.

[Flammable Materials]

3. You act as if you are surprised.

I feel a lot like the Iraqis did when the Abu Ghraib pictures were published. I know that I live in a fascist state where all the media is state-controlled. When I see evidence of it, I just sigh and shrug my shoulders.

4. Cardiac unit: Cheney is welcome to yammer about "last throes".

Why would he go to cardiac unit?

Kinda like sending the chimp to a brain surgeon.

7. we can only send hate vibes

he'll need a tinfoil tent by the time we are done. (BTW This is exactly opposite of my personal philosophy, beliefs and values...to be hateful and wish harm on someone...I think it's counterproductive to ones own health and well-being) But damn-it, I do think we can cause his heart to explode if we all concentrate real hard and let God know he is ready for the hottest place in hells' fire and brimstone.....God is sending him with his own special hood, meat hook and water board...so when he cries for water in hell the can have Satan give him the near drowning technique. Yes, God and Satan will cooperate on his punishment in hell. So come on now...all visualize Dick's heart valves popping out all at once

...Now at midnight all the agents
And the superhuman crew
Come out and round up everyone
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
Where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped across their shoulders
And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles
By insurance men who go
Check to see that nobody is escaping
To Desolation Row...

23. Here's another - Dead man, dead man

Dead man, dead man

Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind,
Clinging to strange promises, dying on the vine,
Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
It's makin' me feel so sad.

Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.

Satan got you by the heel, there's a bird's nest in your hair.
Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share?
The way that you hold your head, cursin' God with every move,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
What are you tryin' to prove?

Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.

The glamour and the bright lights and the politics of sin,
The ghetto that you build for me is the one you end up in,
The race of the engine that overrules your heart,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
Pretending that you're so smart.

Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.

What are you tryin' to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun?
My back is already to the wall, where can I run?
The tuxedo that you're wearin', the flower in your lapel,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
You wanna take me down to hell.

Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost worth a quick grin.
You like the feel of steel,
You're hot stuff with a hatpin,
And good fun with a hand gun.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Hey you, Whitehouse,
Ha ha charade you are.
You house proud town mouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street.
You're nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
.....! .....! .....! .....!
You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside.
Mary you're nearly a treat,
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.

Cheney visits doctor in Vail for old knee injury


VAIL, Colo. - Vice President Dick Cheney visited a renowned orthopedist Friday while in town for a forum held by a conservative think tank, his spokeswoman said.

Cheney met with Dr. Richard Steadman to evaluate an old football injury to his knee, Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride said.

Steadman focuses primarily on sports medicine, and his Steadman Hawkins Clinic has treated a number of famous athletes. In 2003, Los Angeles Lakers player Kobe Bryant was in Vail for knee surgery at the clinic when he was accused of raping a hotel worker.

Cheney was scheduled to attend the American Enterprise Institute World Forum, which was started in 1982 by former President Gerald Ford.

I read somewhere that he is actually being treated for heart problems. Are you guys investigating that? or the White House have you gagged?

...but at least it went down heroically!

Last Words of Dick Cheney's Dying Heart!



I am Dick Cheney's Heart.
Once, a very long time ago, I had two functions: the purely physical job of pumping blood throughout Dick Cheney's body so as to provide oxygen, nutrients and abundant energy to all his organs and muscles and tissues--to every single cell in his entire body, in fact--and the second, more metaphysical aspect of giving Dick Cheney a sense of joy, both in simply being alive and also in sharing that joy with others through love, empathy, compassion and good works, each of these being a higher expression of this natural joy de vivre available to most members of humanity... for people are social creatures, on more levels than they dream--and they communicate constantly with their communities and environment, whether they wish such connection or not. This is the wisdom of the human heart: It knows that all life is one, we are all interdependent and interconnected in a magnificent and joyous dance of life... and this celebratory dance is the only essential reason for being here at all.

But just try telling this to Dick Cheney's Brain.

I have to deal with that big lazy gray mass of fat everyday, and I'm telling you, it's killin' me. No matter how much blood I pump to it, it's of little use--it's already made up its mind, you see...

68. I Spoke To A Friend Who Lives in Denver

yesterday and she told me that the story about Cheney was on the front page of the Denver Post. He did go to the orthopedic surgeon for a knee injury but something which occurred during the exam had him checking Cheney into the heart unit of a Denver Hospital. As of yesterday, he had been there 3 days. I was stunned when I watched the news to find not one program mentioned that the USVP, who has a history of heart problems, had been in the hospital for 3 days.

Don't have any links but the story was Saturday's Denver Post.

[ailsagirl]

62. Just checked the news. Nothing. WHY are they hiding this???

Maybe they don't want to worry us unnecessarily?

63. How goes the death watch?

I've been away for 16 hours, is he dead yet?

64. It wouldn't have made sense that

they "rushed" him to an orthopedist for eval of his old "knee" injury. There will be a day when they can't put "Dumpty Chumpty" back together again.
