Comeuppance

We were watching the inaugurals this morning and caught a really brief glimpse of Dick Cheney being whisked somewhere in a wheelchair (had to rewind a couple of times to make sure it was him—thanks Tivo). The official explanation was that Cheney had “strained a muscle in his leg/back/posterior,” but of course I didn’t buy that. I made a few phone calls, and my suspicions were confirmed: when Satan came to get the soul Cheney had promised him, some nerve damage occurred as Satan ripped Cheney’s soul out through his spinal cord.
