No, the blog isn't going political, but I couldn't resist sharing with you all this charming image accompanying the AP's report on Cheney and Miller's speeches at the Republican convention this evening. The AP's title is even better: "Cheney, Miller Unleash Rage Against Kerry." Perhaps not "better" for Cheney given the picture, of course, and you can bet there'll be virtual hell to pay tomorrow once conspiracy theorists of the Liberal Media™ see it. RAAAAAAGE!!!!! Still, this is generally how I imagine the man, when he's not smirking at all of us lowly average citizens. He's always seemed to me to be saying "all this hoohah about 'freedom' and 'democracy' and 'noble leadership' and whatnot are really just a nice fiction for you all. It doesn't matter whether I'm Veep or not -- I have been, I am, and I will always be part of the inner circle of extra-governmental power in the world and you. simply. don't. matter." Charming, indeed.
