He ain't got no pulse

Our former VP, Darth Cheney, has suffered a 5th heart attack. Make your own Borg jokes. Predictably, some media sources have excoriated others for even mentioning cost: "..war hero..", "..outpouring of venom..." Below are a few cost estimates, arrived at by old-fashoned averaging of multiple sources.

  • $ 100 K - Cost of Device
  • $ Half Million - Estimated current bill
  • $ 55 K - Previous mild heart attack
  • Lifetime bill - Top Secret, National Security, eyes only
  • $ 34 Million + amenities - Estimated current worth
  • Tapayer (you) - Footing the bills

In a related development, Congress is working to balance the military budget with caps on VA healthcare expenses. The anything goes lifetime medical plan for themselves and their families remains untouched.
