    Cheney International Center (Indeed!)

    When Dick Cheney was appointed by the Supreme Court, he placed his investments in a trust with part of the income going to the University of Wyoming. In return, the Trustees have voted to name a new International Center after Mr. Cheney, whose name is already chiselled above the door.



    This goes beyond irony— Has any single individual done more, with full cognisance and intent, to damage the international standing of the U.S. than Mr. Cheney?

    A petition against this rash mistake, which I signed, has been delivered to the Trustees who replied that, in esse, Mr. Cheney has paid in advance for this honour and they are duty bound to offer it up.

    What next? The Milosevic Center for Human Rights? The Mugabe School of Economics?

    When they open this thing, I'll be there with the sign I hold high whenever Dick Cheney shows up: SHAME!

    If you'd like to register your opinion, the address of the UW president and ex-officio Trustee, Tom Buchanan, is: <[email protected]>.

    Thanks for your thoughts—

        The Cheney International Public Toilet?

        That sounds about right to me. . .

          Well, suit yerselves.

          I imagine the next thing for U Wyo will be "The Pol Pot Chair in Human Interactions", or "The Werner Eiselen School of Race Relations" ?


          Disgusting. You honour a man who has dishonoured his Country, his Party and the concept of Democracy.

            Actually, yes. Although as VP, Cheney had a hand in executing the president's agenda, President Bush, The Great Decider, did far more damage.
            There is no rational, logical, or physical description of how free will could exist. It therefore makes no sense to praise or condemn anyone on the grounds they are a free willed self that made one choice but could have chosen something else. There is no evidence that such a situation is possible in our Universe. Demonstrate otherwise and I will be thrilled.

              G.W.Bush was but a mere puppet (figurehead) chenney was the brains behind the throne. And he took his orders from old man Bush, ex pres. and ex head of the C.I.A.

                Looks like he's adapting well to his new life.

                  Good 'ol Onion. Funny.

                  But they're misinformed: travel crate or otherwise, Mr. Cheney won't spend much time in grotty industrial Casper. He's got a big posh bunker in Jackson, where the power brokers established an enclave.

                  They call it Planet Jackson— Definitely not a part of Wyoming, nor p'raps of the United States.

                    I wish he could live the rest of his days half-paralyzed in an aluminum trailer in Green River, Wyo. Maybe with a meth-head caregiver. That'd be appropriate.
