I think Cheney just really wants to defend the actions of his administration from the chorus of criticism.

Some have suggested he keeps on making pro-torture arguments to help keep his ass out of jail.

I'm convinced he's trying to indictment-proof himself. If he just re-slunk away he'd look guilty. Now his defenders can say "They're just going after him because he's giving them trouble!"

And probably because he's a prick.

Since this quote seems apt -- from Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish blog last week:

And as history slowly accepts that this man disgraced his office more profoundly than any before him, as it sinks in that this man did not merely make mistakes, as all flawed politicians do, but committed war crimes, with pre-meditation and elaborate subterfuge, he slowly realizes what's happening to him. He can feel it. And so he resists the way he always resists - by lashing out, attacking, smearing, snearing, and grabbing every inch of the limelight he can.

Creation Astronomy

Hah, I knew it had to happen. Phil Plait is now obsolete — he hasn't been keeping up with Creation Astronomy!

We live in a Universe of breathtaking size and grandeur-but where did it come from?

Secular astronomers tell us it formed without a Creator about 14 billion years ago. The Bible tells us it was created by God only thousands of years ago. Which model does the evidence support?

The answer to this question might surprise you!

Recent discoveries have plunged the evolutionary model into a crisis. This site is dedicated to documenting this unfolding drama, and exposing the bankrupt evolutionist model for what it truly is.

That's right: astronomy is a theory in crisis! Go ahead, watch the videos that will make Phil tremble in fear and doubt. And he thought the moon-landing-was-fake loons were crazy enough.

Yep. God created stars millions of light-years away - when he created the universe five thousand years ago. He then created the light from those stars in transit all the way to Earth, in order to trick us into thinking the stars are millions or billions of years old.

eta: Yeah, the "God is Fucking With Us" theory makes more sense than established astronomy. Right.

However, I am sorely tempted right now to found a religion based on the premise that God exists solely to fuck with Phil Plait. Think of the hilarity that would ensue!

God exists solely to fuck with Phil Plait.

So that's why God faked the moon landings.

This is kind of cool

After all, he put fossils in the ground to tempt us to unbelief.

I've never understood the appeal of a god who built the equivalent of whoopie cushions and hand buzzers into the universe.

I like the idea of an Almighty who's messing with us for the fun of it better than one who is installing "tests of faith" in the earth's crust.
