Cheneyhenge
Best. Gothamist post. Ever. By John Del Signore:
Dick Cheney Visit to Neutralize Tonight’s Manhattanhenge
Manhattanhenge, the visually stunning phenomenon that occurs twice a year when the sun sets in perfect alignment with Manhattan’s street grid, is happening tonight. It’s just too bad that Vice President Dick Cheney has arranged to be in town at the exact moment of the sunset, to speak at the New York Republican State Committee Dinner and simultaneously smother the golden light under his all-encompassing shroud of darkness.
Of course it’s no coincidence that the famously secretive Cheney would time his visit to Manhattan to coincide with Manhattanhenge – he’s long been devoted to ensuring the triumph of darkness over light; as he once told Tim Russert, “We also have to work, though, sort of the dark side, if you will.” So don’t be alarmed when tonight’s sunset is suddenly eclipsed by a frigid black miasma – that’s just Cheney taking the podium . . .
The hour approacheth. I’m scared.

you should see what he does to Texas.
He’s one of the horsemen of the Apocalypse. With the sun behind him–a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi.
is that karma too?
