Oh how the hell do you spell that word?
Just saw it at Crooks and Liars.
Thanks to Duke1983, I can now fluff up my diary to a near turgid state, akin to Cheney's notorious trouser snake (from AP, via Breitbart):
Cheney to Have Surgery Next Weekend
Sep 16 5:26 PM US/Eastern
WASHINGTON
Vice President Dick Cheney will undergo an elective surgery next weekend to treat an aneurism in an artery behind his right knee.
The condition, discovered earlier this year during a routine checkup, needs to be treated "as to not become a problem over time," Steve Schmidt, counselor to the vice president, said Friday.
"The procedure will be performed under local anesthetic," Schmidt said. "It will take place next weekend. It will involve a short hospital stay. The vice president will return to work shortly thereafter."
Schmidt said more details will be announced next week.
The aneurysm is behind his knee. So, sorry, there's no explanation for his madman behavior, at least not from this condition.
