You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future.
-- Thomas Sankara, 1985
Vice President Dick Cheney was caught on tape and caught off guard during a meeting with President Bush today.
A news crew was taping a cabinet meeting at the White House as the president was giving a briefing on the California wildfires, when they caught Cheney as he appeared to be nodding off.
“Wake me up when they’ve blamed it on Iran,” he said.
