Silly, silly me...

It was always my understanding that Article 2 of the US Constitution clearly showed that the Vice-President is a member of the Executive Branch. Apparently, because VP Cheney casts the deciding vote in the Senate, he thinks he's not a member of the Executive Branch, and therefore doesn't have to give up information that's required of members of the EB.

And when questioned by the Senate, he's answered that it's inappropriate of the Legislative Branch to ask questions about secrecy of anyone in the Executive Branch.

What? Did I miss something? So, apparently, Cheney is in both branches, and in neither...does that make him like an electron? So, if he's like an electron, does that mean that if we don't measure him, he doesn't exist? Could we possibly ignore him out of existence?

It's ridiculous that this administration thinks it can say and do whatever it wants without any repercussions...but even more ridiculous is the fact that basically nobody is willing to do anything about it. The Dems in Congress just seem to be happy to have some power, and don't want to risk losing it.

Maybe it's time for a revolution...not the violent military type, but maybe it's time we as Americans let our government know that we want change, and we want accountability...

But, there's probably a reality show on TV tonight, so maybe we should just try to ignore him out of existence...but acknowledging that we're ignoring him will probably mean that he continues to exist...

Guess I don't have the answers...
