    Lots of precedent. It’s long known that bloodsuckers hate to be seen in the light.

    “I think I should warn you all, when a vampire bites it, it’s never a pretty sight. No two bloodsuckers go the same way. Some yell and scream, some go quietly, some explode, some implode, but all will try to take you with them.”

    Did you see this one too?

    Vice President Cheney’s invitation to address wounded combat veterans next month has been yanked because the group felt his security demands were Draconian and unreasonable.

    The veep had planned to speak to the Disabled American Veterans at 8:30 a.m. at its August convention in Las Vegas.

    His staff insisted the sick vets be sequestered for two hours before Cheney’s arrival and couldn’t leave until he’d finished talking, officials confirmed.

    Draconian. To wounded vets. Nice. Why does Dick Cheney hate the troops?

    Why does Dick Cheney hate the troops?

    That scene where the Joker is telling Two-face it was ‘nothing personal’ comes to mind…

    One doesn’t often see the word ‘draconian’ dropped in a news story. I thought they typically try to keep it about fourth-grade level, in semantics and narrative.
