I hope they changed his oil and filter, too

It is, of course, deeply wrong to make light of anyone's health conditions.

That being out of the way, I'd like to point out the poetic implications of the "see also" column on the BBC page:

Profile: Dick Cheney

Cheney fitted with pacemaker

Cheney knee surgery 'a success'

Cheney 'fine' after medical tests

Brief stay in hospital for Cheney

Dick Cheney has blood clot in leg

Cheney pacemaker battery replaced

How Can You Miss Me When I Won't Go Away?

So anyway, there we were, blogging away, when we were hit by a meteor. That's what happened, and I'm not changing my story.

Turns out the Bushies made a simple, common, human error that anyone could make: it wasn't Iraq that had weapons of mass destruction, it was Iran. Boy, were there some red faces over at the TelePrompter crew when they found out they'd transposed one letter and got all those boys killed in the wrong spoke of the axle of evil. Could've happened to any of us, I guess - no real harm done, move along, nothing to see here.

But Iran - they're really bad, and we need to attack them right away. Sorry about that "Iraq" thing.
