Put a mirror under his nose, if it doen’t fog and he rouses, we’ll know why he spends so much time in an undisclosed bunker of a crypt.  As for his denial, yeah, right… I believe it as much as everything he ever lied about Iraq.

World Domination is exhausting work.

Maybe some day a photo like this will be titled “this is how the Vice President was found dead in his office after he was reported missing by his wife.”

Ahhhh… Isn’t he just the cutest thing!  Probably dreaming about sending more young Americans off to war so he and his cronies can continue to cash in.  Hey, it’s all good!

Hmmm.  Looks like a nap to me.  He even removed his glasses so he’d be more comfortable.  I bet he’d perk up if Hu had an orange hunting vest on.
