Dick Cheney: Too busy to do his job
According to the Senate Rules Committee hearings on the governance of the Smithsonian, Dick Cheney has attended a total of 0 meetings of the Smithsonian Board of Regents. Now, I know Dick Cheney was in a secret location for a long time, but surely he could have made it to one of the 4 meetings a year they hold. The Chief Justice chairs that Board, and Rehnquist made it to all the meetings except when prevented by illness, as has Roberts.
I know Cheney has been busy exposing our nation’s secret agents, secretly meeting oil executives to set national policy, and drumming up war with Iraq and now Iran, but surely he could have found a little bit of time to fulfill one of the few obligations attached to the Vice-Presidency.

It always shocks me to see his name on the inside of my Smithsonian magazine every month. I didn’t realize it was part of his office, though.
It’s probably better if Darth stays away.
