Good vs. Evil

Sort of in a bit of a birthday mode today, so with that in mind, here’s to a happy 124th to FDR (link to the presidential library here).

Our vice president is also celebrating a birthday today, so let me say as forcefully as I can, “happy birthday…Dick.” To commemorate, links are here (regarding the 2004 vice presidential debate), here (on Iraq), and here (on Cheney and Iraq before the war) to some of the veep’s most outrageous lies (and no word on whatever happened to that green parka he wore at the Auschwitz remembrance a year ago when everyone else dressed appropriately for the occasion).

Also, here is more information on the company Cheney once ran and their illegal activity.

I’d like to think that Cheney will get a birthday cake with a hacksaw planted inside of it, which would be appropriate. We can only hope that he’ll need it one day.

Another thing: even though it would be appropriate to drop an "F" bomb or two on Cheney in light of his use of language at Sen. Pat Leahy, I try to avoid that word at this site unless I have no other choice but to use it (which I've done in the case of a direct quote). However, if I were going to make an exception for anyone, Cheney would definitely qualify.

Update 2/1: Somehow I overlooked this unbelievable lie from Cheney and Gen. Michael Hayden (hat tip to Atrios - Dubya dutifully mentioned it again during the State of the Union last night even though it has been disproven...and how funny is it that he got a standing "O" in reverse for mentioning that Congress hadn't done anything about his Social Security scheme?).
