The gods cut down another arrogant human

Dick Cheney, the vice president of the United States, has been guilty of many crimes over the years: creating false information about WMDs in Iraq; releasing the name of undercover CIA agents; convincing the president that the NSA should wiretap American citizens without warrants from FISA; killing and eating Lassie-style dogs in secret satanic rituals... the list is endless.

Well, the gods have had enough. Hubris is now in effect. For all his arrogance and his crimes, the gods have inflicted Dick Cheney with Gout.

Let this be a lesson to all everywhere...
