I looked up his ancestry (http://www.wargs.com/political/cheney.html) and statistics indicate that he has six years left in his despoilment of our planet. The fact that he is bald and graying (whitening?) is indicative of his accelerated aging. I still have a full head of hair with only a few gray spikes and none of my forebears have died before 96 except through war or accident since 1328. Running my statistics through the actuary machine yields a end time of 2039. An aunt just passed away at 102. Dick is two months my elder.

Comment by whiteyfresh Why Japan? Its current Prime Minister, Abe, is very rightwing and the grandson of another former PM (Kishi), who for a while had been banned from politics as a war criminal. Abe's poll ratings are about as low as Dumbya's, however his party still holds a majority in Parliament. In any case, I think Rahm's idea is great, and I hope the Dems don't back down.
