Making It Official
Yesterday the House of Representatives and the Senate met in joint session to tally the votes of the Electoral College and confirm Barack Obama and Joseph Biden as President and Vice President.
Acting in his capacity as President of the Senate, current Vice President Dick "So What?" Cheney had to state what clearly made him hurt inside:
In fact, apart from acting as a tie-breaker, what Cheney did yesterday is his only other legislative duty as Vice President.
If we lived in a just and sane universe he and the rest would be rounded up, arrested and tucked away in a cozy brig somewhere safe starting about 12:01 PM on January 20th.
But we live in a universe where nothing has any business being perfect, so it most likely won't happen.
Still, the moment must be recorded for posterity.
