1. I think the 800 number was passed a week or so ago...

but, of course, this adminstration likes their "fuzzy math" so they redefine what counts as a "death".

3. Meanwhile at an Undisclosed Location

Vice Lord Dick Cheney, sporting a throbbing two-inch erection, sneers into his monitor screen. As the profit-and-loss report from Halliburton (2nd quarter, 2004) scrolls, he takes a long draught from a golden chalice, filled with what appears to be human blood.

He begins to stroke his manhood. "Life is good," says he. "But the real money is in Death."

Laughter echoes for hours through the granite chambers.
