Dick Cheney Does New Thing That Dick Cheney Would Obviously Do
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
So what’s been going on with our greatest Vice President, Richard “Dick” Cheney, since we last spoke? Nothing much, just some new revelations about Cheney bein’ Cheney, hatin’ on the environment and such. In this latest news cycle, we have the tale of that time Cheney’s office once edited out six pages of the CDC director’s testimony to Congress regarding this: “CDC considers climate change a serious public health concern.” Silly egotistical CDC director. She’s obviously one of those people who gets pissed when her editors shake things up a bit — cutting commas, switching grafs, deleting major theses about climate change killing everyone, correcting split infinitives even if they do “sound” better. Any editor has dealt with these twits. We sympathize, Dick. [Washington Post]

Remember how the liberals and environmentalists were freaking out, a few days ago, because the BLM wanted to

New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote a decent book many years ago and has since made a living by promoting the Iraq War, going on sabbatical, and coming up with useless concepts like these: “the world is flat,” “a Lexus is like an olive tree, in that both are on my book cover,” and “I used my NYT corporate Amex credit card to buy a trinket from this Pakistani, which I’ll conflate into a hackneyed worldview cliche.” This modern day soothsayer spoke to some kids at Brown University last night about the environment and got pelted with green pies, which is what happens in the Global Marketplace of Ideas. 
Now this is a creative graphic from America’s Magazine of Record, Time, which will grace the cover for its upcoming green issue. (Hey, wasn’t that Vanity Fair’s gimmick-issue to begin with?) Of course it is a play on the famous Iwo Jima photo/statue from World War II, which was a fake to begin with. Naturally, Iwo Jima veterans are very offended that their fake posing photo is being used to promote something as Communist as saving the environment. 
Hey America, you may have been too busy delighting in the fruits of our thousand-year Mesopotamian adventure and rolling around on piles of strong dollars to notice our nation’s crumbling infrastructure. But thanks to 
The liberal communist League of Conservation Voters yesterday gave special-interest lackey John McCain the worst environmental record rating in the entire Congress. This is not surprising. Despite his early support for global warming (fixing it, that is), John McCain is the biggest corporate sell-out since New York City in the Giuliani years. When WALNUTS! isn’t getting his old man dentures flossed by a GE executive vice president, or cheating on his wife with any number of sexy lobbyist whores, he is finding innocent mango trees and chopping them down for bloodsport, while killing Marxist pandas. Then again, he was tortured in the war!! [
The Post has the Energy Task Force list!!!!! We’ve been waiting six years to figure out who, exactly, sat down with Vice President Cheney to draft our nation’s energy policy! The answer:
