Absurd Excerpt from Dick Cheney's Memoir

This is one of the most bizarre things I've ever read and is so completely out of left field. From Cheney's new memoir:

"Cheney writes that after undergoing heart surgery in 2010, he was unconscious for weeks. During that period, he wrote, he had a prolonged, vivid dream that he was living in an Italian villa, pacing the stone paths to get coffee and newspapers."

There are so many questions:

--Was he speaking Italian? --Did he think he was dead or know he was dreaming? --Has Dick Cheney been on an inter-dimensional tour?

Seriously, though. How absurd and random is that?

Apparently he urged Bush to bomb Syria in 2007.

And he has a lot of rubbish to say about congress people.

I loved him for owning Wolf Blitzer, but this makes me even more happy. I will most certainly have to read this.
