I won’t buy his book or put a nickel in that motherfucker’s bank account by any other method. I wish he’d just fucking die and am sorry it didn’t happen before he had a chance to cause the deaths of so many. Fuck you, Cheney. ---

> [@drewtwo99](#): > > I didn’t realize that an artificial heart prevented him from having a pulse. Is that really true or just a funny comment on the fact that his heart is augmented. His heart is _augmented?_ What _other_ augmentations does Cheney have? The strength aug… the dermal plating… the Typhoon explosive system? My God… if he has that one upgraded to level 2, he can destroy any enemy within range **including robots.** Our only hope is that he doesn’t have the energy protection aug yet so we can stun him with an EMP grenade.

I wish he’d just fucking die and am sorry it didn’t happen before he had a chance to cause the deaths of so many. Fuck you, Cheney. You reminded me of one of my favorite video clips of all time. Sometime after the Katrina deal Cheney went down there to look at the damage while the cameras were rolling. Some local joe sixpack was cleaning up his wrecked home in the background and speaking very loudly “Go Fuck Yourself, Mr. Cheyney.” ---

The new game is great, isn’t it? That’s what inspired me to use the term augmented, but as I understand it, it really is a bio-mechanical augmentation that Cheney has… his old heart is still there, it’s just getting a boost from the artificial unit. Who knows what he is capable of… ---

Okay, how the hell was I fully unaware that Dick Cheney no longer has a pulse? This is _at the very least_ incontrovertible evidence of the comedic fine-tuning of the universe. Tell ‘em they may as well shut down the umpteen Jesus threads in Great Debates, we all have to be theists now. ---
