Looks Like A New Year To Me

“I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I've lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.” ~ John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

Man: Are you armed?

Silence: We have been here since the wheel and the fire, we have no need of weapons

Man: Yeah (Fires gun) Welcome to America.”  ~ The Doctor

Cheney got his heart but...

I don't know why but every time I see this Tin Man I think of Dick Cheney, in fact the whole Wizard of Oz crew kind of reminds me of that Bush era bunch. 

That old evil Wicked Witch of the East swooped down and cursed the Tin Man and left him without a heart.

Our Dick Cheney got a new heart but apparently it still has a malfunction and he remains as evil as always and continues to support enhanced interrogations, er torture. “I would do it again in a minute,” Mr. Cheney said in a recent Meet the Press appearance. 

What an idiot.
