Cheney Receives Heart Transplant; Bush Still on Waiting List for Brain Halliburton Performs Reconstruction of Former VP FALLS CHURCH, VA (The Borowitz Report) – Former Vice President Dick Cheney received a heart transplant today, but former President George W. Bush remained on a waiting list for a brain, hospital officials confirmed. As part of a government contract signed while he was still Vice President, Halliburton performed the reconstruction work on Mr. Cheney’s circulatory system at a cost to taxpayers of $14.2 billion. The doctor who performed the surgery called the procedure “extremely invasive – just the way the Vice President wanted it.” A hospital spokesman said that Mr. Cheney was expected to make a full recovery, but that he was “somewhat disoriented” coming out of anesthesia: “When we asked him who the President of the United States was, he said, ‘Is it still me?’” Former President Bush made an appearance at the former Vice President’s hospital, hanging a “Mission Accomplished” banner in Mr. Cheney’s room hours before the operation was completed.

the harder law enforcement gets on a particular drug the greater the purity. But also, alternatives come available -- as in the case of the war on cocaine which William Bennett has touted as a "success", he fails to point out that there has been a huge transition to the worse drug methamphetamine. I'm not sure that had anything to do with crack. Crack was a way to sell it to people who couldn't afford powder. And I question whether people were driven to meth from cocaine ... seems to me they are marketed to and by different groups.
