Feel The Love

As a general rule, we hate to see anything bad happen to anybody. Of course there are some people, whom we hate to see bad things happen to less than others, but that's another story. Not everyone agrees with this outlook on life: Over at Evolving in Kansas, Mousie Cat demonstrates the superior compassion of the progressive/liberal element with this post about yesterday's fire at the Vice President's office:

Zeus hurls lightning bolt at Cheney, misses.

Yesterday, Zeus drew back and fired off a lightning bolt at Cheney's ceremonial office in the historic Eisenhower office building. The speed of the bolt was clocked at 135,000 m.p.h. Not bad for a southpaw.
...

Better luck next time, old Greek guy.

The entire post, including speculation as to why the head of the ancient Greek pantheon was unable to do harm to Mr. Cheney, lives here.
Pretty tame stuff, if you ask us. Expressing regret that death and destruction failed to end the life of some old guy is pretty cheesy, but Mousie Cat looks like a promising amateur at best.
At least when compared with the more highly evolved specimens who post to the comments section of the Washington Post :

Maybe God is giving Cheney a foretaste of his time to come in Hell.

Dang! I was hoping Cheney's heart caught on fire when he told one too many lie and his Master called him home to Hades ...

I heard the fire started because Cheney forgot to lock up the gates of Hell, after throwing in his daily child sacrifice.

Tons more of same can be found starting here, mostly speculating on the basis of no evidence other than "We don't like him" that Mr. Cheney arranged to set fire to his own office to destroy evidence in criminal prosecutions that have not yet been begun.
