I'm using my channel-flicker to flick through the channels today, and I see this 100-year-old grouchy guy named "Dick Cheeny" giving a speech at the "American Enzyme Institute" (?), and it looks like his mouth is about to slide off the side of his face and expose his skull, so I stop and watch.

Lo and behold, the guy isn't speaking about enzymes at all.

I can't understand the snarl. It can't be a choice. Some media guru would have told him, Mr. Vice, perhaps you shouldn't snarl at the American people.

I think he had Bell's Palsy -- a partial paralysis of the face. Amy Goodman recently had it. It strikes out of the blue, and no one knows for sure what the cause is. Sometimes it goes away, but if it doesn't there is no cure. But there are no serious side effects either.
