My pal, Dick Cheney

I never thought I would say this -- but, tomorrow, I'm pulling for the Prince of Darkness, Vice President Dick Cheney.

Don't get me wrong. I still have a minimum of high regard for the guy. I dislike him intensely. However, I have great respect for the office he holds.

I also have a pacemaker/defibrillator. Cheney does, too. And his battery is running low so tomorrow, the doctors will replace his entire device. I'm not clear why they have to junk the old machine just to replace a battery but what do I know?

Every time the medical electricians go through this kind of drill, they learn something that will help the rest of us. So I'm pulling for Cheney and his medical team.

Get well soon, Mr.Vader.
