Quote of the Day~The Cheney

Following up on the Dick's proclamation to the American people that he and his office are not part of the executive branch of government (you know, even though the President and his office are) we get this analysis from Jon Carroll:

Soon, civics classes will be taught a revised version of our precious system of checks and balances. There's the administrative, the legislative, the judicial and the cheney. The exact function and duties of the cheney are unknown. The cheney does not report to the president because that would be a violation of the separation of powers. The cheney just does what it does because it is what it is.

I think that pretty much sums it up nicely. I just have to add a random observation about this new thing called "the cheney." The name does have a nice ring to it, "the cheney," and brings to my mind the names of past national dance crazes such as "the twist" or "the macarena" (however that's spelled). However, despite how easily the name could lend itself to being the title of such a passing fad, I fear instead that "the cheney" may one day inspire a newly "enhanced interrogation technique" of some sort or, at the very least, be given to an already existing one as a new and catchy nickname.
