Former Vice President Dick Cheney is recovering from a heart transplant after having five heart attacks in the past twenty-five years. He’s had various medical procedures over the years including a quadruple bypass surgery in 1988. In 2010, he suffered from his fifth heart attack, and doctors placed him on an LVAD (left ventricular assist device) because his heart couldn’t pump strong enough on its own. After being on a waiting list for two years, Dick Cheney finally received a new heart from an unknown donor.

Some are saying that at 71, he’s too old to receive a transplant, but many disagree. Dr. William Zoghbi of Methodist Hospital’s DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center in Houston said ”It is not too old. Age is really not a factor.” According to the United Network for Organ Sharing, 332 people over age 65 had heart transplants last year. Seventy percent of heart transplant recipients live for at least five years, although survival chances are lower over age 65.

Regardless of your political beliefs, I think it’s pretty amazing that Cheney has gone through so many surgeries and issues with his heart. Many people don’t survive one heart attack, much less five. It’s incredible that he’s been strong enough health wise to stay alive. We wish him well in his recovery!

Do you think Cheney is too old for a heart transplant?

So, today is World Nude Day. Yeah, we wish we knew too; this sweater is really itchy, and we are pretty sure our professor would cancel all Friday classes if we’d shown up in our birthday suits. Apparently this “holiday” was started in New Zealand to celebrate the body in its natural state and we applaud that. Everyone should love their body and want to show it off to the world!

At the same time, though, there are plenty people in this world who we’d rather not celebrate with. And we think it’s pretty obvious why. Call us haters if you will, but would you want to bump into a nude Dick Cheney, or have to compare your body to a nude Beyonce? Yeah, we didn’t think so.

Just kidding, Fox Network. You totally suck.

Shit like this, taking Cleveland (of all characters) from Family Guy and giving him his own show, really pisses me off.

Where is the creativity, Fox Network?! Is this what I’m paying $45 a month in cable TV for?!

I hate Fox. I do. I hate Fox and here is why:

(1) Their news is retardedly biased and annoying and their newscasters are wooden and remind me of an old high school boyfriend who could not for the life of him figure out how to unhook a bra.

(2) They continue to let The Simpsons wallow in its own decay. Look, The Simpsons was like the most brilliant show of all time–until it started to very much suck a few years ago. And yet Fox continues to let it sink further and further into geeky mediocrity. I mean, cancel that shit already. It’s embarassing.

(3) American Dad.

(4) American Idol.

(5) Okay, forget listing crappy shows. What I REALLY hate about Fox is their total lack of creativity when it comes to programming. I mean, seriously. A Cleveland spinoff? It’s like taking Laguna Beach and giving a spinoff to the ocean.

It’s like how Dick Cheney is the next in command…we’re all vaguely aware of his existance as a side character in the administration, but if he ever became president, we’d all change the channel faster than you can say “Guantanamo.”
