No Jokes, Please: That Would Be Heartless


Former Vice-President Dick Cheney was fitted with a new device by heart surgeons earlier in July as his heart condition continues to deteriorate.

I'll go right to the amusing bit: the ventricular assist device is a pump which pushes blood continuously instead of "mimicking the heart’s own pulsatile beat." So Cheney, like other recipients of this type of pump, now has no pulse!

They say vampires have no breath, and no reflection. That's hardly news when it comes to Cheney and his ilk; do you imagine Cheney ever reflects upon his bad deeds?
