24. That's why,
in spite of how much I despise Bill Gates, I have to admit his reception of a foreign dignitary was first class.

As for these impostors, I'm surprised they managed to get Little Lord Pissypants out of his cowboy costume long enough to pose for pictures...

This photo is just so hilarious I can't stop checking it out...

The "reboot" comments are totally cracking me up....


Unbelievable: Dick Cheney fell asleep during an official visit by China, er...or as the cartoon in the Wash Post had it, by our "repo man"!!!

If there ever were a time that the good Lord needed to bless America, now's about as good as it gets. How we survive the next 3 years without these two clowns getting us all killed is anyone's guess.

Golden Slumbers
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Carry That Weight
Lennon/McCartney

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitation
And in the middle of the celebrations, I break down

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

45. Maybe he wasn't sleeping. It's possible.
It's also irrelevant. The interesting thing is that perceptions have changed so much. People think Cheney is incompetent, and so this picture was worth talking about. People also think he's a liar, so he might as well shut the fuck and just accept the mockery.

...what anyone else thinks. He has a plan that doesn't require any input from anyone else. I think he must have written "the plan" out in the 7th grade, along with his drawings of Tommy Guns and nuclear bombs.
