again last week we had to confront the approaching inevitability of a future with no dick.
were dick cheney able to devise a workaround for evading mortality, i'm positive he'd keep kickin it here til the galaxy's final light was extinguished. absent that, he--like each of us--continues moving forward into the past.
immediately after he's no longer around, we'll find ourselves amidst an emotional maelstrom far more intense than last week's. overwhelmed by sturm und drang mit scheisse, will not hysterical blathering totally trump considered opinion and rational analysis depriving us one and all of at least one unintended benefit arising from cheney's demise.
it's my hope we can have another sorta dick conversation. in this one, we all come away better informed and, possibly even somewhat a tiny bit less aggressively contentious overall.
in that spirit i invite anyone and everyone willing to offer insight or provide answers to one or more of the following
does dick cheney qualify as an outstanding conservative...an outstanding republican...and human being? If so, why? .
