For readers in other countries: Dick Cheney was the scariest Vice President we ever had. I still remember watching his speech in which he personally "announced" that we were going to war with Iraq in a completely dead voice as if we were sending soldiers off to a picnic. Cold as a zombie, that man, with a voice like Voldemort. Which explains why so many dark jokes came to mind this weekend when Cheney received a heart transplant.
Confused by news of Dick Cheney's heart "transplant." That implies he had one before.

During the transplant the surgeon's hands were briefly transformed into black leathery claws while fumes of sulphur swirled through the operating theater. You don't often see that.
