It’s pretty hot for September! Up in Vancouver, a kick-ass bunch of Canadian protesters rushed the doors of some private industrialists club/Satanic Secret Society and had a battle with the riot cops. A 51-year-old protester reportedly strangled a cop, in an apparent effort to get through the doors and strangle Dick Cheney — Cheney was inside on a “book tour,” wearing a black hood and humping on the carcass of a bloodied lamb.
Protesters clashed with police Monday night outside a private club in downtown Vancouver where former U.S. vice-president Dick Cheney was promoting his new book.
As a crowd of about 200 chanted, “Shame. Shame on you” at guests entering the Vancouver Club, a line of police pushed back protesters who tried to surge against the club’s front door.
It would be fun if this happened in Virginia, at Cheney’s house, every day. [CBC]

Cheney actually left the US? Does The Hague know about this?
If we act fast, maybe we can get him on a watch list and bar him from reentry.
They'll just give him another deferment.
Jad Abumrad would have reported on this but his sound effects synthesizer is in the shop.

It's Canada…that was a baby seal brought in so Dick could club it to death before said humping.

No, it has to human blood for Cheney to survive.
"No, it has to human blood for Cheney to survive."
I figure, with no heart, probably 90 weight gear oil… which would completely explain the whole "Iran for Oil" thing.
"Cheney was speaking at the sold-out $500 per seat event." Well, they were Canadian dollars, so it's not so bad.
Canadian dollars are worth more than American these days as I found out in a Tim Horton's in Toronto last summer.
Actually, today's exchange rate says CDN $1 only gets you USD $.98
YEW-ESS- AAY!! YEW-ESS- AAY!! YEW-ESS- AAY!!
You forget, since Bush, the Canadians have real money compared to ours.
There's a real easy joke about loonies in there.
Harper is working to fix that.
Sorry, guys, I keep partying like it's 1999.
It was a good time to be 19.
Not if you were 39, again.
Like most of us without a pulse, Cheney's favorite luncheon is a Bilderburger with cheese.
Isn't it high time Dick get on board w/ SNL for a guest spot playing himself, to offset his cankerimonious reputation, and for laffs? The walking dead among us can only benefit from keeping in each others' company; plus parades of wide-awake corpses limping their way among the throng are fashionable this time of year.
"So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, have some taste
(woo woo)
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah"
And didn't someone try to 'citizens arrest' Rumsfeld yesterday? I'd love these warlocks to fear each time they leave their lairs they might face public justice (or just a mob lynching).
It's a great day in Wonkette!
Cheney has no heart and is technically already dead. So what is the point of strangling him?
Maybe they weren't trying to strangle him? Perhaps they were just trying to sever the head from the corpse with a piece of piano wire.
Why, why, why am I so bad that I laughed at this?
It's the only way to guarantee that his soul will rest quietly in its grave instead of attempting to possess another human body, or eat a few million more innocent infants. (He's already et any guilty infants.)
Exactly. Cheney's even deader than "Headless Spiro Agnew". GRRRRRR.
I think you'd need Holy Water and the priest from The Exorcist to put that MOF down.
How could anyone possibly strange a Canadian Officer of Her Royal Most Majestey's Law Enforcement and Kennel Club?
You couldn't get your hands past that Hapsburg jaw.
500 years of inbreeding can't be wrong.
That would be "STRANGLE." Stupid alphabet always trying to keep me down…
"We just wanna type our words without bein' hassled by The Man."
I wonder if strangling hurts worse than waterboarding.
Like Cheney wouldn't enjoy being strangled, especially if he has his ball gag on.
Stephen King invented Dick Cheney, in what became a self -fulfilling prophecy. But he called him Randall Flagg, the Walkin' Dude.
So you're saying that Cheney will get taken down like a punk, getting killed by a baby half-human/half-demon-spider just to set up the new villain after tons of buildup suggesting an eventual showdown between him the Gunslinger that never actually occurs?
I never read them books. I was referring to the guy in The Stand.
It's the same guy, though.
Lamest villain take down ever.
So, it takes Canadians to protest our ex-veep? Americans are such sheep…..they will line-up outside of Walmart at 4am to get "bargains", but won't get out and protest Wallstreet in any real numbers. We will probably all stay home for the 2012 election because it is too cold, or we were too lazy to get IDs, or we can only tivo 2 shows and we need to see dancing with the stars and then we will have Perry, or Romney, or the NJ barge as president. WE SUCK.
"Attention please! Can I have everyone's attention, please. If you look directly above, you'll see a fine example of Spinozasgodian righteous anger…"
Know what else sucks? The fact that you're right.
and the fact that over 30% of real Mericans are "right"………
"But Leah Costello, who heads up the Bon Mot Book Club that organized the event, said it's disappointing anybody would want to prevent Cheney from speaking."
My sense was that people don't so much want him muted, they want him arrested. I'm sure the ICC will let him speak.
You can't choke the Devil… You gotta go with some big firepower… try that next time.
Club Dick Cheney before he clubs you at the Club Dick Cheney Book Club Club.
Too perfect. I shall have to steal that.
Well, at least the Vancouver police managed to finally arrest someone. When the drunken hockey fans practically tore the place down earlier this year, millions of $ damage, not one arrest. But protesters against torture and war criminals? Get 'em! Canadians are finally getting their priorities in line with us 'merikans.
"You can't choke the Devil."
Awesome song title, sir.
They should have brought garlic and crucifixes to bring him down.
It's the gravy on the fries that makes them all feisty.
Other coast.
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone. "
Dang. Need to schedule Cheney's next visit to coincide with the Canucks losing the Stanley Cup.
May I suggest silver bullets?
WAR WITHIN A BREATH
Reasons to riot in Vancouver:
1. The Canucks lose
2. Dick Cheney visits
What a town.
Reasons to riot in Seattle:
1. WTO meeting
2. Barista out of soy milk
Dear Canadian Fans of Darth Cheney,
You are so fucking lame. You should know better. Shame on you.
Oh yeah, "shame shame shame" is really going to have an effect on the black hole of greed and self-interest that Cheney has in place of a conscience….
New York-based Human Rights Watch said Saturday that Canadian law provides for prosecution of an individual for torture and other crimes, even for offences committed outside of Canada.
OK, Canada, we'll give you Montana in exchange…
"What is important is that he is able to speak and free to speak and people are free to hear him," said Costello.
Free to speak and free to hear at $500 a head, that is.
I love Canadians.
Every day….leftwingers prove that they are truly SUBHUMAN !!
There are fewer and fewer countries that would even allow Cheney to enter, and everyone has a right to protest a government's abhorrent policies, sorry, no snark today …
I wonder if the war criminals Obama and Biden will receive the same scorn
When informed of the ruckus, Cheney smirked and characteristically replied: "So?"
Too bad that Canada has had a tea bagging sympathetic government for quite a few years now, or his ass would have been in cuffs the moment he landed at Vancouver International.
Still, Vancouverites sure love to riot, no? It's become a popular pasttime with these folks. They riot like we used to in the States.
Jokes on the protestors. Everyone knows that when in danger, Cheney has the ability to turn into a bat.
Throw some mustard seeds down and strings in knots.
You know who else humped bloody lambs on book tours?
His getaway wheelchair is always standing by.
This? http://tinyurl.com/6kpwvvm
