I'd love it to be Cheney

Condi Rice would move up to Veep, wouldn't she? Or would Bush get to decide? Or try to decide and trigger the very Constitutional crisis we're dreading/hoping for?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Condi Rice would move up to Veep, wouldn't she?

If both Bush and Cheney went, isn't Pelosi the next in line for the presidency?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've gotten three compliments on my dress so far today, one from a stranger in the street who wound down her window to ask me where I got it.

Pity I told her the wrong store name. Brain fart. Still, it's last year's dress, so she wasn't going to find it anyway.

Women within heart beats of "ultimate" power . . . I wonder how many whackaloons are saying, "Yes, Bush is evil, and Cheney is Sauron in disguise, but we can't let a woman be in charge! Hold off till the election, don't get rid of anybody now!"

I resent the current administration for making me think, "Go Team Cancer!"

Really, Cheney's got a dicky (heh) heart anyway . . . I know how tricksy those things can be . . . it doesn't have to be that debilitating, just enough for his docs to say, "OK, Darth Cheney, your power or your life. The stress of world domination or living long enough to convince your gay daughter's kid that you're not the anti-Christ--ok, trick question, long enough for her to learn how to pronounce Grandpa."

Is this the black with white emboidery? I remember thinking last night that it sounded pretty.
