... Jesus Christ, I can't catch a break these days, can I? Well, I've got some...news that'll ring very different notes for a lot of people. Yesterday, former Vice President Dick Cheney passed away at the age of 84 from complications with pneumonia and heart disease. Cheney served as the 46th Vice President of the United States during George W. Bush's presidency from 2001 to 2009, and was the main architect of the War on Terror, particularly the Iraq War. He previously served as Secretary of Defense and as Wyoming's at-large Representative in Congress. I didn't agree with him on much, particularly his excuses for starting the Iraq War, but I'd still like to extend my condolences to his family; Richard lived a full life, and though it may not have been filled with the best actions, we must still bear some respect for our fellow man, as, in the religious community's words, we are all God's children. I'd also like to repeat what I said about Charlie Kirk's death; celebrating anybody's death, no matter how bad he or she may have been, is not okay in the slightest. I made it clear when Charlie died, and I'm making it clear now. Please maintain at least SOME human decency when you talk about people you disagree with, even if you despised everything they stood for. So, I'd like to be among those to send Vice President Cheney's family my regards and hopefully maintain the last bit of human decency this nation may have left.

Rest in peace, Mr. Vice President.
