T won’t last, of course, but for the moment I’m in a wonderful mood. In fact, I’m happy, and if you want to credit (or blame) somebody for this unusual state of affairs you need look no further than Dick Cheney.
It has nothing to do with politics per se. Although I like his controversial congressional voting record, my reaction to him is a matter of what psychologists call “free association.” He has become my personal, walking Rorschach test and would have the same positive images of him whatever his politics were. They’re the kind of deep-down personal reactions that campaign operatives try to dig out in focus groups, but since I’ll never be chosen for a focus group (people who pick juries never want me either), I will bare my soul here for the purpose of showing why Cheney is the only good reason to vote in November.
