Some Things, You Just Can't Make Up

VP-for-a-few-more-hours-Dick Cheney, who broadened the scope of Vice Presidential power in fantastic and unprecedented ways, and who repeatedly asserted that the Vice President is not part of the Executive branch, will leave a legacy that is either formidable or feeble.  Time will tell, but while we wait I can't resist pointing out that he will be confined to a wheelchair at today's ceremony.

Apparently he injured his back while moving boxes yesterday

A man asserts that he has incredible and unprecedented power, and then disables himself while moving out of his office. It's called "irony."

Symbolic, maybe. Seems like the proper transfer of power, no? Maybe Biden just gained Arnold-esque biceps.
