I've been reading in the Washington Post about the Dick (you know, as in "the" Donald), our vice president, who really runs the country, and it made me sick. Whatever jokes Cheney affords entertainers such as Jon Stewart ("Waa!") and Keith Olbermann ("Thanks a lot, Dick"), Almighty Number Two Dick is, lamentably, the most powerful man in the world. He does have a brain, like it or not, and he is extremely effective at getting the America he wants. And, like it or not, he is not encumbered by a heart that considers what Americans (the tired, poor, defenseless) really need as well as want.
The good news: I liked this story about a small town newspaper's exposing a pedophile scandal in a Boy Scout troop. I'd like to see it made into a movie.
