Oh shit! Oh fuck! Damn! My driver's license says "ORGAN

[rzemanfl]

DONOR." I won't be able to leave the house for fear I would get in an accident and Cheney would get my heart! Can I put a sticky note on it?

[KansDem]

1. Your heart?

Can I put a sticky note on it?

[rzemanfl]

8. I thought about that and figured people would understand I

meant the license. It would be really dangerous and messy to put a sticky note on my heart.

[Warpy]

2. Just try not to run into anything out there

and realize if you're driving, the chest contusion will make you unsuitable as a heart donor.

[rzemanfl]

12. That's comforting. I better wear the helmet when I ride my

bike though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Tell your family...

No way in hell it goes to him!

I believe they have the last say in this...

[gateley]

4. Not to worry -- the commentator said NObody gets to move to the front

of the waiting list.

:rofl:

[ThatsMyBarack]

5. I wouldn't worry.

Cheney has never HAD a heart. Why would he need or want one now? :shrug:

[JuniperLea]

6. Put an asterisk on there, pronto!

*HUMAN recipients ONLY!

[rzemanfl]

10. I thought * meant something else at DU. n/t

[PCIntern]

7. check the story years ago in PA with our guv...

remarkable: guv at the time needed heart and lungs...AMAZINGLY, a guy gets bumped who's an exact match in no time at all.

[SunnySong]

9. Does it say you have to be dead to be a donor????

[rzemanfl]

11. It's Florida, so who the hell knows? n/t

[taterguy]

13. Lots of accidents happen in the home

On a less snarktastic note:

I absolutely and totally disagree with everything Cheney stands for politically.

However, I wish no harm on him, nor pain to his loved ones.

Which is why I think this thread is a really bad idea.

[Control-Z]

22. My problem is,

if Cheney were to need a heart, someone already on the list would be forced (without their knowledge) to give up their place in line for him. Or he would arrange to purchase one from a less than ethical source.

I can't think of anyone (with a current heart condition) less deserving of "special" treatment, however, I wish him and his loved ones no ill will with regard to his health.

[taterguy]

25. The problem in the OP was whether or not his heart would go to a 'deserving' source

Even though his post was probably meant in jest, the notion that you shouldn't do what you can to save another life because the life saved might not be one you like is appalling.

[Control-Z]

27. Yeah, I understood that.

I was just commenting on what I'm sure are the realities for a greedy, wealthy, very privileged heart patient and the rest of us.

[rzemanfl]

23. Wait just a minute. You think it is a "really bad idea" that I don't

want to give my heart to Dick Cheney rather than some human being?

[taterguy]

24. My donor card doesn't say I'll get to decide who gets the organs

What do I care?

I'll be dead.

In a perfect world my heart would go to someone who shares my values.

But that wouldn't be very efficient.

They'd have to wait for someone who avoids internal combustion engines to need a heart and in general, people that walk or bike everywhere have decent cardiovascular health.

Yes, Cheney is a human being.

He's a human being with politics that I despise but he's still human.

I'm well aware that based on voter registration figures, the odds are that my organs will end up with some someone who doesn't vote the same way I do.

But I signed up anyway, because, well, I'm a human being who believes in humanity.

Seriously.

[JoeyT]

28. As far as I'm concerned he forfeited his humanity when he caused as many tortures and murders as he

did. So I don't particularly care if he dies a horrible death.

This isn't about not wanting to save the life of someone you disagree with politically. It's about not wanting to save the life of a person that spent their entire life stealing the humanity of others. Of course since the odds are astronomically low and the OP was joking, it's pretty much pointless to worry about it.

[pipi_k]

14. A couple of bucks and a quick trip to the local CVS can fix that...

Buy a black magic marker and write instructions on your chest. Renew as the writing wears off.

In fact, you could diagram all your organs and leave the good ones to family and friends who might want/need them


:7

[rzemanfl]

16. Remember the girl with the "B" on her face? I don't think I can

write in a mirror either. It would make an interesting tattoo though.

[pipi_k]

20. In that case, you have to find a real good friend

willing to do it for you.

Or write it upside down from your perspective. :7

[katsy]

15. LOL

+1

:rofl:

[Donnachaidh]

17. someone will be *disappeared* and we'll hear about his heart transplant after the fact.

The talking heads on msnbc said he wouldn't be kicked to the top of the list but you know that is pure-D baloney. I want to know how we can protest our tax money being wasted on this criminal.

[Spazito]

19. That's because there are TWO lists...

one with only Cheney's name and one with everyone else in need on it. Cheney will not be going to the top of the second list, lol.

[jgraz]

18. Don't worry. Cheney's been breeding clones for years to supply him with body parts.

[pipi_k]

21. Does he ever visit Dubya's ranch?

That would explain the horse's ass stuck to the top of his neck.

[Dr Morbius]

26. Not to worry.

Cheney won't be able to survive with a mere human heart, and Cheney's blood type is (I'm sure) America-negative. If, however, you are a spawn of Satan, your heart would be the perfect match.

[FreeState]

29. Sounds like you don't have a heart either

No matter what we think of the man he's still a person with a family and grand kids. Wishing death on anyone is beyond tacky and stoops to the lowest levels.
