Spooky goings-on at Dick Cheney’s pad.
So, what do you guys think? He’s building a bomb shelter? A secret command bunker? Wine cellar? Poltergeists?
Strange…
what the hell would take 8 months to build? and warrent 2 explosions per day?
my family just ripped the roof off my sisters house, and added two floors to an existing 1 story ranch style house.
That took less than 8 months!!!
I would assume a bomb shelter…
I like the digging tunnels to spy on nearby embassies… that one was funny…
WAG: Some kind of bomb/nuclear fall out shelter. Although if it is, it doesn’t bode to well for our future.
Lentils?
He’s making moonshine much like Homer Simpson.
Sounds like construction of a torture/interrogation room for anti-petroleum activists and peaceniks.
It’s an echo chamber.
New tile covered bathroom…and we now know how regular he is 
“It’s an echo chamber.”
Let’s hope he doesn’t have a duck - it’ll be a waste of money.
I’ve got a funny feeling that Big Dick may be carrying out the Babalon Working…a Ceremonial Magick attempt to create Aleister Crowley’s Homunculus.

Have there been any reports of a naked pregnant woman jumping nine times through fire in the Naval Observatory backyard?
Oh, yeah—that was the new Conceptual Art installation at MoMA.
A deep nuke-proof bomb shelter. Like Amp, not a good sign.
For a while I lived a new development in Herndon VA, and while they were blasting to dig out basments for the new homes it sound and felt like how this is described. They’re probably blasting very deep into the bedrock.
He’s digging to China!
What? He’s just practicing his bassoon!

Bomb shelters are passive defensive measures, dangerous to no one. I can’t see that it is in any way a bad sign.
Actually, it would be a GOOD sign, if that’s what’s going on. (I’d say the odds are better than even that it is some sort of hardening of the facility.) And because an attacker’s calculation of probable success is going to be much less certain, he may not initiate any action at all.
Unless I read you as suggesting that the US, and the Vice President himself, may be planning to start a nuclear war, but HE plans on living through it.
As a resident of the general neighborhood, I am all for strengthening as many government facilities as we can. Even if my house doesn’t get a bomb shelter, I’m still a helluva lot safer when the possible payoff to our attacker is that much less. You follow?
I was going to make a rude remark about someone eating Mexican food, but that would be tasteless, and I refuse to lower the tone of this thread.
Funny, I read Eve’s “lentils” to be the exact kind of post you are “avoiding”, FCM!
Bluesman, I think it was more along the lines of, “Does he know something we don’t?” Cheney is very fortunate in being able to afford to build a bomb shelter, don’t you think?
[Dave Barry]There was limited space in the shelters, so the government sent out forms to all federal employees to determine which ones were actually essential to the operation of the government. Surprisingly, it turned out that every employee considered himself essential …[/Dave Barry]
Yeah, I was thinking along the “what the hell does he know that I don’t” lines.
Who’s behind the Administration’s energy policy, for one thing.
