In the 2 1/2 hours Dick Cheney reigned as king he could have: started a preemptive war, re-written the Constitution, appointed no-nothings to the Supreme Court, called up all the national guards and reservists, handed the military-industrial complex and big oil 100 billion or so, wiped out years of conservation legislation, made the vice-president a fourth branch of government, and told the Congress to buzz out of his business. Since he had already accomplished all of these acts he probably went hunting.
