My Turn, Again

by Dick Cheney
I can't help smiling whenever I pass one of these tree huggers installing solar panels on his roof. Actually, I can't help smiling ever since I got that thirty mil golden parachute from Halliburton. But if you want to save the world, here's a green technology that really works: back yard nuclear reactors. Set one of these babies on "glow" and you'll be running your fridge, dishwasher, Jacuzzi and artificial waterfall with plenty of power left for the wave runner or snowmobile! And you didn't hear this from me, but I'm told there's quite an aftermarket for spent fuel!
