VP Cheney nods off during cabinet meeting on California fires

I'm pretty fed up with Veep Cheney. First, he ruins California with the energy crisis, now he sleeps while decisions are being made about California's fate in the wild fires burning here and that have displaced over 1 million people.

I'm starting to think Cheney's got something against California.

Cheney's apparent battery run-down can be seen in the video below about half way in.

California should secede from the US for the 2001 energy "crisis"

"In retrospect I could see how that happened," Davis said. "There's no question that the energy companies saw me as an adversary when I wouldn't buckle under their demands. I was vulnerable and the [energy companies and the White House] took advantage of it. This crisis took place in the early days of the Bush administration. I figured these guys are too busy picking out furniture for their offices. I didn't think they [the Bush administration] were spending their days in office involved in some full-scale conspiracy. But it turns out they were."

After all, California is still one of the biggest economies, all on its own. We don't need BushCo's help.

Dick Cheney suppressed evidence in California energy crisis -- no way, you say?

Richard Cheney has fully earned his nickname.

Cheney leading effort to bait Iran into war

They call him Darth Vader. Darth Vader at least had some courage. This guy's got no guts and he's much more evil than Vader and Hitler rolled into one.

If we go to war with Iran, I nominate Cheney to lead the effort on the battlefield. See if his 5 deferments were just coincidences.
