Doctors stop Cheney's heart

If you don't believe me, how about the AP?
Doctors administered an electrical shock to Vice President Dick Cheney's heart and restored it to a normal rhythm during a 2 1/2 hour hospital visit Monday. The procedure was described as a low-risk, standard practice. Cheney, 66, went home from George Washington University Hospital and was expected back at work on Tuesday.

Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, was discovered to have an irregular heartbeat around 7 a.m. when he was seen by doctors at the White House for a lingering cough from a cold. He remained at work throughout the day, joining President Bush in meetings with Mideast leaders.
Damn thing just won't stay still. And can you believe that Dickwahd doesn't have the clout to make the medicos take it out and throw it way?

Comments:
A CALL FOR THEM TO BE HUNG

Not death to the US but death
To Halliburton, please,
Cheating like you or I draw breath,
Its profits for to seize.

Cutting expenses any means
It can, though at expense
Of human life: behind the scenes
What moral decadence.

The "cost plus" method so to earn
(You earn for what you spend),
Is fun for an employee--durn,
Been there, done that, my friend.

But as official policy
It seems nonsensical--
Like driving empty flatbeds, say,
To risk while paying well.

Yet, the abuses were well-known,
Well-known have they become,
Yet Congress in its twilight zone
But hems and haws--plays dumb--

At least a group significant
Proposals for to block,
So citizens get war they want
By going into hock.

It was no good of "blood and treasure"
This usage, as would say
Hagel perhaps--by any measure
Huge waste from day to day.

No, until Halliburton be
Dismantled, I will not
Rest satisfied; but let us see
The ringleaders get shot.

Unto the highest reaches of
The government, be strung
The men behind the war, as prove
Deserving to be hung.

No, as in retrospect revealed
The depth hypocrisy
Promoted this, not ever healed
So war will prove to be.
