Dick Cheney

In this eagerly anticipated memoir, former Vice President Dick Cheney delivers an unyielding portrait of American politics over nearly forty years and shares personal reflections on his role as one of the most steadfast and influential statesmen in the history of our country.The public perception of Dick Cheney has long been something of a contradiction. He has been viewed as one of the most powerful vice presidents-secretive, even mysterious, and at the same time opinionated and unflinchingly outspoken. He has been both praised and attacked by his peers, the press, and the public. Through it all, courting only the ideals that define him, he has remained true to himself, his principles, his family, and his country. Now in an enlightening an [More..] | |

Addressing Dick Cheney's life experiences from his own perspective, this book is both hilariously funny and incredibly informative. Chock full of facts, it starts with Dick Cheney's birth (again, from his own perspective) and then quickly moves into his years as Chief of Staff, U.S. Representative, CEO of Halliburton, and Vice President of the United States. But this isn't a biography; it's better. You'll be right there in the room as Cheney interviews for the top spot at Halliburton; you'll see Cheney's reaction throughout the unprecedented and unbelievable 2000 Presidential Election; you'll experience Bush and Cheney's moving adventure to Washington D.C.; you'll hear Cheney's conversation with Justice Scalia during their controversial [More..] | |

Dick Cheney is a man who has been reviled by many, but bested by few. Blazing a trail across the pages of modern history, he shrugs off the negatives and soldiers on, with a pacemaker to keep him on the beat, and a ready sneer for the opposition. Still, even seasoned political reporters were surprised at the aplomb with which he weathered the bad publicity after he blasted the Texas Funeral Service Commissioner, Harry Whittington, smack in the face with load of birdshot. This biting, satirical piece is nevertheless chocked full of tasty facts for Democrats, Republicans and Paulists alike. A White-Hat Lawyer Investigative Report, riginally published as the cover article of the March 2006 issue of the Ashland Free Press. [More..] | |

With insight, humor, and a bit of 'I don't know what,' Ryan Forsythe turns the modern political satire on its head in this alternative historical novel exploring why Dick Cheney has done the things he's done. We first meet a young Richard Bruce 'Dick' Cheney in the year 2791 as he endures another of his Dad's lectures on the terrible no good Gore presidency, the source of all suffering in the world after a series of freak time travel accidents vaporized our dearest celebrities. Soon Cheney is on a joyride through time with his buddy Kimo. Unfortunately, their time machine stalls out on the Interyear and Dick finds he is stuck in the Nixon administration. Recalling his father's rants, Cheney realizes he has the opportunity to change history. [More..] | |

The indispensable portrait of the man who still runs the world.Here is the definitive portrait of the ultimate power broker by "the toughest, most in-your-face investigative reporter in the U.S.A." (Greg Palast). Dick Cheney sets energy policy. He guided the nation into war with Iraq. And, working closely with Karl Rove, he oversees the political infrastructure that allows corporate interests and the religious right to control lawmaking, regulation, the selection of judges, and the development of foreign policy. As John Dean put it, "This page-turner closes the case: Cheney is our de facto president."With an emboldened administration that has turned a thin victory into a renewed mandate—rewarding ideologues and purging dissenters—John N [More..] | |

Audits reveal that Halliburton & KBR failed to document and justify 42 percent of all invoices submitted to the government for payment services.

A bestselling, Harvard-bred humorist plans to knock out a slapdash, quick-buck parody of a wildly successful, head-spinning, clue-laden thriller in a flagrant attempt to cash in on the publishing sensation of the decade, but the tousle-haired satirist's sleazy scheme goes awry when his two heroes -- beautiful, brilliant Sandra Damsel and brawny, brainy Professor William Franklin -- stumble on an explosive and frankly preposterous centuries-old secret that plunges them into a puzzle-packed, plot-crammed, prose-swollen Washington intrigue whose flabbergasting finale will determine the outcome of the 2004 presidential election. Cryptic praise for The Dick Cheney Code "1, 1!" (highest rating) -- The Fibonacci Report "Hysterical! Lacey shirt! [More..] | |
