Funny, the CIA briefing memos don&#8217;t seem to mention him being there.  It&#8217;s almost like he&#8217;s hiding something.  I don&#8217;t see how Joe Biden can possibly compete with Cheney&#8217;s legacy.  Those are mighty big shoes to fill.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of big shoes, there&#8217;s a new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2009\/06\/02\/zhao-liang-worlds-tallest_n_210513.html\">world&#8217;s tallest man<\/a>: 27-year-old Zhao Liang, who was measured at 8.1 feet tall.  No word on whether the Denver Nuggets are looking to make him an offer.<\/p>\n<p>I thought the neck was finally on the mend yesterday, after getting a decent night&#8217;s sleep (and, yes, abstaining from the demon alcohol).  Very little sleep last night, though (another dry night, I might add), and it hurts like hell again.  It&#8217;s mostly in one spot, though, as opposed to previous several days, when I ached from the top of my head to my shoulder blades.  Just out of curiosity, anybody (especially you Canadians out there) ever try Robaxin (methocarbamol)?  It appears to be a muscle relaxer with codeine (sounds like that&#8217;d do the trick, relative to getting a good night&#8217;s sleep), and is available OTC in Canada.  They have much better stuff OTC in Canada; I guess since they have universal healthcare, the CMA lobby doesn&#8217;t push to make you go see a doctor for every damn thing.  <\/p>\n<p>What I really need is a few (more than two) days off in a row.  Sitting at work really tightens everything up, and I can really feel it by the end of the day.  But that doesn&#8217;t seem too likely, so, I guess it&#8217;s time to get a move on.  Although I don&#8217;t know what my incentive is anymore; now that I&#8217;ve given up beer, I no longer have anything to live for.  Well, except I just got the full five season set of Six Feet Under off e-bay (brand new, shrink wrapped, for less than half price, and with free shipping, I might add).  Once I get through watching all those though again though&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, former VP, gay marriage supporter, and perhaps the most disgusting person in the United States (though that&#8217;s a really tough contest to judge), Dick Cheney, was not only a torture supporter, but its principal cheerleader (just had the image of Cheney in a cheerleader outfit flash into my brain; quite disturbing).
