He’s been working for 10 weeks as a scab writer for _24_. He thinks Powers Booth’s VP character is a hero and should be President next season. ---

Darkness called, and he got pissed off. So he impounded the phone company records, tracked down Darkness to his house and had him snatched to an undisclosed CIA facility. He`s been busy trying different electrode configurations on Darkness and taunting him "Who`s your daddy, Darkness? ZAAAAPPP!!!" since then. ---

I believe Cheney and Bush both are working on a Mel Brooks tribute together. Here they are doing their version of [_Puttin’ on the Ritz._](http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/21/politics/21letter.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=recent+cheney+activity&oref=slogin) Also, what with the end of their administration looming, word is they’ve taken up [scrapbooking](http://bp0.blogger.com/__ie5nVqKzs0/RyRkKjPM2eI/AAAAAAAAAN4/uYC7V3tjfRc/s400/CHENEY+MONEY+COUNTERS.jpg).

If you’re just missin’ his face, there’s an excellent study of his work to expand executive powers on Frontline now called [_Cheney’s Law_](http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/cheney/view/). It’s quite well done. Same with [_The Dark Side_](http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/darkside/). ---

[QUOTE=NurseCarmen] He’s busy planning the invasion of Iran. [/QUOTE] No, he wrapped that up months ago, right down to the assignment of private contractors. He is most dangerous when he is unseen. He’s a master of the SEP field. Now that he’s the target of an ongoing investigation, it would be improper for anyone in government to comment or tell you where he is. He is officially Somebody Else’s Problem. Can we see Mr. Cheney? “The Vice President isn’t being seen today. He’s very busy.” ---

Actually he was here last week in good ol’ southwest Georgia quail hunting. I know because I got to sit in traffic out in front of our local airport whilst he was arriving, thus making me late for work. Also, we all had to wear orange vests 24/7 the whole time he was here. 😃 ---
