Cheney - Photos of him - his behavior today - and my dark theory
I think Cheney is possibly sick with cancer.

His behavior as they were cleaning up the records in the last weeks of the administration was a devil may care, dangerously self- incriminating lack of concern about what he disclosed and how it affected him legally. Disturbing.

His renewed call to scare and terrorize us today is awfully quick into the new administration, self-serving, not country serving. It is only done to make his past untenable positions look appropriate, and seems to indicate he is completely nuts in his judgment of timing, unless he is dying.
We, his audience, either laugh or are newly terrorized. He, to some, looks vindicated should something new happen through terrorist attacks.

I think people with a heart and a soul would come out and do a kind and good life clean up if they were staring a soon to come death in the face.

Cheney's character judgment is the exact opposite of that, since he is the most evil and vile SOB to come down the pike into our collective horizon in a long time. So it would follow, since he is unrepentent and probably unaware, that he needs to go out with just the opposite of kind and good.

I think Cheney, newly having lost his powerful position in government, is shortly going to lose his life and he knows it.

I hope they build a large hearse so that loads of the ill-gotten blood money can go with him.

I must say, I feel funny to post this, but I must.

1. Either that or he is batshit crazy!
I think he is pissed because he saw the rise of the 4th Reich under * and his leadership.

That's what I think...

6. You are correct to catch that, I pasted the words in and lost the first sentence.
Was in the process of seeing if it made sense without it, and obviously it does not.
I said he looked gaunt, pale, with a previously drawn look to his chin that to my has suggested cancer in others, on reflection, after they died.
OK, so I did not say all of that then, and I'm saying it to you now, since you questioned it.

12. He was just pissed
that he had to give up power.

A friend of mine had a theory that Cheney used the wheelchair at the Inauguration because he couldn't bring himself to stand for a black man.

41. Actually when I heard about it on the nightly news shows, the photos accompanying
them gave me that feeling. His look reminded me of the previous times I saw what I call the cancer mask on people's faces.

3. Mira, don't toy with me
You go getting my hopes up with a post like that.

Don't you just love, though, that he did this via a phone call? He's once again a disembodied voice, sort of like "I am your father, Luke."

Vile coward. I have heard that Republicans are FURIOUS with him for pulling this stunt, though.

You got the check, by the way?

bush isn't even close. This guy is genuinely evil. I wait every day for him to die and be gone forever.

59 years, and I have only ever felt deep, genuine seething hatred for just this one person. I guess that's a pretty good record.

Who embodies the personification of pure unadulterated evil that that despicable piece of shit. I am looking forward to the day he finally kicks it. I'm sure it will be much like when Jesse Helms died, no one on either side wanted to say anything about him. He'll just disappear with no fanfare.

17. Tangerine: here are your answers and a question
Yes - I think his doing this in a phone call is slimey and doubly scary.

Yes - I got the check - thanks - and did you get my message the USPS re-embursed my money?

How did you post the vile photos so quickly?

And just between us, I believe what I'm saying. I think he has a cancer mask.

She wanted me to make sure you received it, and yes, we were both relieved that USPS coughed up a refund so quickly.

I'm that good with pictures. It's all about the google and making up goofy phrases.

I hope you're right. I really do.

4. I think he is taking the money he stole from us
and is going to use it to terrorize us with it and get us distracted so that they can do other evil deeds to us.
His office is near the CIA. Why would a dead man have an office? Why would a dead man carry boxes?
Seriously?
I think they are planning a coup in THIS country to overthrow our current government.
I've seen their evil. I don't put anything past them.

50. Are you psychic?
The year was 1980. I was in a plane crash, got a back injury, declined the surgery (which turned out to be the right thing to do), and was in a private room in a hospital in the DC area that's not even there anymore. 1980 was a long time ago.

But, I was put in traction and it was all bed rest. I was in a private room (my boss, who was a Washington star, made some phone calls on my behalf), and the TV channels in the hospital were strange.

There was one channel that would show one more twenty-four hours a day. The same movie for a whole day, and then, another movie, another day.

There I was, stoned on Tylenol #4 and Norflex, laid out and wondering what was going to happen.

One day, the movie was "Blazing Saddles." Unbleeped.

I was awake for the whole twenty-four hours, just watching and laughing. The drugs made the movie even funnier.

My healing began then, and I was out of the hospital in a couple of weeks. I have no doubt that the laughfest I experienced because of that movie - remember, this was in the days before videos or DVDs and a movie like "Blazing Saddles" was never gonna be shown on network TV - started my recovery.

What was great was meeting Mel Brooks and telling him the story. He got tears in his eyes and hugged me hard.

57. What a great story!!! And you got to meet Mel Brooks!!! Wow!
The funny thing about your asking that question is that for the past 3-4 days some funny coincidences have been happening.
I think we all are prone to periods of that kind of thing, especially if we are open to it.

I think it is wonderful that laughing was able to speed up your recovery. I am sure Mel Brooks was very touched and complimented by your story.

59. I think
it's about awareness, what you call being "open to it." It's about opening that third eye. When we see the overlaps and the points of contact, we understand, maybe, a bit more about how it's all connected, how, like it or not, we are all one.

The late, great Bill Hicks understood that so well.

My encounter with Brooks was wonderful. I stepped off an elevator in the HarperCollins building in Manhattan, to go visit my editor/publisher office staff. HC was putting out my first book. There was Mel Brooks and some other people. I was so startled, I froze. The elevator closed behind me, and this group of people just looked at me while I stared at Mel Brooks - who is a diminutive man with a huge head and an even bigger smile.

My editor said, "Have you met Mr. Brooks? We're publishing his book right after yours," and she made the introductions. He and I shook hands and Mel said, "Does your book have any hot sex scenes in it?" I said, "Just one, but the goat runs away."

He started laughing, he grabbed me and hugged me and - I rather expected this - grabbed my ass. Just a quick grab. Then he announced to everyone, "She's got a great ass. Can we use her in the next movie?" They laughed and I said, "Speaking of movies," and then told him my "'Blazing Saddles' in the hospital" story.

This time, when he hugged me, he didn't grab my ass. A few months later, via my editor, I received a signed copy of the book he and Carl Reiner had written, "The 2000 Year Old Man In The Year 2000." It read, "To ******* and her nice ass. Say hello to the goat for me. Mel Brooks."

Laughter. It keeps us all going.

Nice that he remembered you and signed the book.

That 2000 year old man routine with Mel and Carl Reiner was one of the funniest things I have ever heard...

67. Now I have to start stalking your posts.
Your life gets more interesting every time I read one. I still have an interesting life, just in a depressing, psychotic, "oh, my God, what else could possibly happen to you" kind of way. My jet setting, star meeting life seems so far away that when I do speak about it, it seems like I'm lying.

Laughter does keep us going. I feel so sorry for people who don't "get it". Love the Mel. Any of my students that hang out with me for any length of time are forced to watch the original "Producers". That and "Arsenic and Old Lace" and "Some Like it Hot"

My friends and I have been experiencing some of the strangest of sychronistic moments recently. We have concurred that it IS all about being open to it.

Do we ever get to know about your books?

20. One appearance during the elections got my attention....
It was Cheney, of course, but I was shocked at his loss of weight and that he coughed throughout the part of the speech they televised. I thought at the time that he was not well. And a second thought: do you really think he hurt his back before the inauguration packing and moving boxes???? I don't think so....he is a sick man, in more ways than one.

All my many many joking posts about him over the years I have enjoyed-dark humour- but DAMN! is he threatening/warning us if anything comes down (notice Holder was just confirmed and Cheney speaks!) against the those that did evil shit in the Bush admin that it will be quid pro quo.

I am not only half serious that he let 9.11 happen. I don't think Bush was in on anything but Cheney was behind the curtain.

52. "My God, he actually did it. Now what?"
That's EXACTLY, exactly what I've always felt about Bush's look/immediate reaction when 9/11 attacks occurred. It's a mix of shock and fear, shock that his cohorts actually pulled it off and weren't blowing hot air and fear that one, he's gonna have to face the country with a straight face and two, if Cheney et al, pulled off 9/11 what's stopping them from taking me out?

62. I'm not completely sure about Mihop 9/11, but I DO feel threatened almost every time the man speaks.
I think they protect their plausible deniability in EVERY way.

BUT I do think there could be plans that consist of decision trees something like:

In situation such-and-so I will decide whether I will do A, B, or C:
When/if I do A, person(s) such-and-so will decide whether to do D, E, or F and persons X, Y, and Z will each make their decisions from their own sets of pre-defined options, depending upon what previous persons in the decision tree did.
When/if I do B, person(s) such-and-so will decide whether to do G, H, or I and persons U, V, and W will each make their decisions from their own sets of pre-defined options, depending upon what previous persons in the decision tree did.
When/if I do C, person(s) such-and-so will decide whether to do J, K, or L and persons R, S, and T will each make their decisions from their own sets of pre-defined options, depending upon what previous persons in the decision tree did.

In situation such-and-so-other-things, I will decide which of M, N, or O etc. etc. etc.

Each person in the chain would have no need to know anything other than "If I see situation ________, I make a decision about and implement ______, or ______, or ______." The whole thing could be quite huge, but triggered by a single catalyst who makes a very powerful choice at a certain time and All of which COULD look completely reasonable up to some point at which airplanes are hijacked or whatever.

This is why I am

AFRAID

of Dick Cheney.

And To me, this explains Bush's intentional looking behaviors on 9/11 AND the surprised look on his face.

45. It's wrong to wish he would die. He should live as long as possible so that
Edited on Wed Feb-04-09 10:56 PM by peacetalksforall
we can get at some truth - testimony by jury, judge, depostion, whatever.

If he dies, all truth will be twisted to blame everything on him.

We need him alive to refute the blame which will unravel the truth to people who can put it all togeteher.

Hope that he leaves - we might forget him too fast. The crimes haven't been investigated or prosecuted.

Whether hurt his back or not, he may hate that he's in a wheelchair or he may be putting on an act to leave the impression that he's a grand old man who needs a little sympanty.

Did I hear right - he has an office at a mall? A shopping mall? Can that be?

With his billions, he could buy a grand house and have an office in his home.

At least he is in Virginia, not Dubai or Texas - close the those who will want to question him.

Please don't wish him dead. We need justice - with the truth of the court.

54. I would like it to sing like a bird and tell ALL, like what really happened to
the flight crew of that bomber that made the unauthorised trip from Minot to Louisiana loaded with live nukes and where all of those nukes are not.
Every one of those guys that were on that plane met with fluke accidents with in 2 weeks after. A B52 can carry 6 on hard points on the wings and 6 more in the bombay.
If it were a practice run it would have been carrying a full load.
Where are the other 6? The 6 on the wings were supposedly accounted for, where are they now? Israel? Somewhere in the Mid east or our own midwest? near WashDC? Are they armed and were they then. Are / were they being used to hold Congress hostage is that why Pelosi has given in?
Paranoid but inquiring minds wanna know.

63. I agree with you. He is dying and he knows it
Recent pictures show him markedly thinner than he has been. That wheelchair because he was 'lifting boxes' is so plainly incredible; he has people to do that.

Either he is in the final stages of cardiac disease or it is cancer.

I wish him what he wishes me.

68. I think you're right.
The wheelchair is a tell all. I don't consider myself an arrogant person, but the times in my life that I've HAD to use a wheelchair after being diagnosed with MS were only as a last resort. It is a whole different world from the viewpoint of a wheelchair.

It took a long time for me to get over my pride and use a cane when I needed it...so I cannot imagine a man as arrogant as Cheney, who's self worth is identified by his need for power, would appear on the world stage in a wheelchair unless there was no alternative.
