The relevant piece on Dick Cheney's obituary is about half way down the page.
Nevertheless, Dick Cheney is not dead yet. He told me so himself.

I love these morons and their "Anti-American Celebrity" Lists.
Jennifer Anniston is quoted as saying, "Bush is a Fucking Idiot". And, this is an example of being "Anti-American". In fact, most of the quotes are liberal in nature and simply criticize President Bush.
Rhetoric such as "Anti-American" is only used as a form of thought control and dissent control in authoritarian-style, totalitarian, repressive regimes. In fact, the only other country that ever really had an equivalent term was the Soviet Union. Noam Chomsky states:
That's a natural usage among people with deeply rooted totalitarian instincts, which identify state policy with the society, the people, the culture. In contrast, people with even the slightest concept of democracy treat such notions with ridicule and contempt. Suppose someone in Italy who criticizes Italian state policy were condemned as "anti-Italian." It would be regarded as too ridiculous even to merit laughter. Maybe under Mussolini, but surely not otherwise. Note to the Right: George W. Bush does not equal America. Those of us on the Left love America and are every bit as Patriotic as you. The reason why we, on the Left, do what we do is out of our
love for America. So, please, take your hate-speech and propaganda elsewhere.

BP posts today's update:
I must engage in a bit of a rant. First, I concur with my fellow
IDCDY? editor on his views of fat people. I mean, come on people,
when is enough, enough? Now, when I refer to fat people, I'm not
talking about people that have love handles or beer bellies. I'm
talking people like the subject of this story:
Yesterday, as I'm freezing my ass off waiting for my bus, another
bus pulls up and opens its doors to ready for about 10 passengers.
The first passenger is so fat that she doesn't have cankles, she has
thankles. What I'm saying is that the tops of her legs were about 3
feet in diameter and slightly tapered to 2 feet in diameter around the
ankles, but there was no noticable break at the knees or ankles.
Anyway, she walks up to the bus and just stares up through the door at
the bus driver. Finally, the bus driver gets it and lowers the
hydralic lift to allow the woman to get on. This whole process takes
about 3 minutes and backs up traffic for several city blocks. Again,
people, I ask, "When is enough, enough?"
My next rant takes me on to my bus, once it finally arrived. The bus
is so packed that I have to stand, sandwiched between two more sorry
excuses for human beings. To my right is a 60 something woman with
dyed, strawberry hair. Well, that doesn't sound so bad, except when
you consider that she had a comb-over and wouldn't stop complaining
about the weather. And I don't mean a left to right or right to left
type of comb-over. I'm talkin' about the back of the neck hair combed
over a giant bald spot on top of her head type of comb-over. Next, to
my right is a very large women with a five o'clock shadow that I
haven't seen the likes of since Don Johnson's heyday on Miami Vice.
Again, not so bad. However, this woman kept telling stories to her
friends about how she beats her kids and then follows up with a
commentary on the Super Bowl Halftime show. She states, and I
quote, "Justin Timberlake ain't cute anymore since he cut off his
curly hair. And, I mean, if Christina Aguilera isn't a slut, then I
don't know what one is." Keep in mind, all of these words came out of
a 300 pound mouth that was surrounded by stubble the length of wheat
grass.
This brings me to my last rant. The Janet Jackson boob scandal. If
this were 10-15 years ago, we would all be left to wonder whether her
bood did, indeed, pop out. The camera was so far away when it
happened and the shot only lasted for 2-4 seconds. Before the
internet, the shot would not have been run again. Now that we can all
type up "Janet Jackson Super Bowl Boob" on a Google search, a small
boob shot becomes a world wide mega-scandel. Come on people grow up.
What is this, 6th grade? Dick Cheney was watching the half-time show,
and the boob shot was so short and far away that it didn't even
register on his heart monitor.
As a good friend of mine recently said: "There's gotta be some rules
in this society. I mean, I can't marry a dog, can I?"
