According to Cheney “Canada is Too Dangerous”.

[pgardn]

the SYSTEM won't propose enough progressive candidates like Sherrod Brown, Warren, Grayson, Merkley, Wendy D (slandered already as the Abortion Queen) to give people who care, esp in red states, someone to vote for.

And there will always be the few gerrymandered-safe Repug House reps and red state Senators, all financed by the Kockotpus, VRWC, UCA to block serious change required by America's serious problems. eg: watch the Repugs block hike in minimum wage, filibuster Dem federal judges, etc, etc

How can I understand any of this if I'm " ed up"?
Just put me on ignore.

Cheney Is An Even Bigger Monster Than You Thought


Cheney has no interest in knowing the iden y of his taxpayer-funded heart donor: "It’s my new heart, not someone else’s old heart.”

I was a little startled to hear the former vice president express total indifference to questions about his heart donor in a revealing interview on Politicking with Larry King ( it airs Thursday night; here’s a clip). It’s a window into his utter en lement and self-absorption, and he comes off as an even bigger monster than I’d thought. Most people would at least feign interest in the donor; Cheney can’t manage it.

When King asks if he knows the iden y of the person whose heart keeps him alive, Cheney, who is promoting a book about his transplant experience, says no, and adds, “it hadn’t been a priority for me.” Then he goes on:

When I came out from under the anesthetic after the transplant, I was euphoric. I’d had–I’d been given the gift of additional lives, additional years of life. For the family of the donor, they’d just been [through] some terrible tragedy, they’d lost a family member. Can’t tell why, obviously, when you don’t know the details, but the way I think of it from a psychological standpoint is that it’s my new heart, not someone else’s old heart. And I always thank the donor, generically thank donors for the gift that I’ve been given, but I don’t spend time wondering who had it, what they’d done, what kind of person.

“It’s my new heart, not someone else’s old heart.”

Consider the complete self-centeredness of that statement, and the utter lack of empathy. I shouldn’t be surprised at that — war criminals and torture-promoters aren’t known for their empathy — but I was. Cheney’s so absorbed in his great good luck that he can’t help sharing: “My cardiologist told me at one point, ‘You know, , the transplant is a spiritual experience, not just for the patient, but also for the team.’” What a generous guy, sharing that “spiritual experience” with his cardiology team! So: Cheney is happy to have a new heart, but doesn’t bother to “spend time wondering who had it, what they’d done, what kind of person.”

the mind of a true psychopath

From the article nobody read:
"“He felt that in Canada the risk of violent protest was simply too high,” said Ryan Ruppert, president of promotions company Spectre Live Corp., which had booked Mr. Cheney for an April 24 appearance at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

In September [2011], Mr. Cheney was speaking at a private club in Vancouver when protesters massed outside the front door harassing ticket holders and in one instance, choking a security guard.

The former vice-president was reportedly held inside the building for more than seven hours as Vancouver Police in riot gear dispersed the demonstrators."

No, there was some local official, city attorney or something, that wanted to arrest him for 'war crimes'. Of note, Canada was an ally in the WOT and sent troops to Afghanistan.
