Washington, DC -
The White House announced today that due to surgery to replace Vice President Cheney's pacemaker battery scheduled for Saturday, July 28th, President Bush will be named the Interim Vice President in his absence.
"We cannot allow the Executive Branch to be compromised," Bush said at a press conference earlier today. "This is simply a matter of keeping checks and balances strong."

Murderess, This is 85% of Your Life
A nurse who dismembered her husband has just been sentenced to life in prison:

The best part isn't the conciliatory added sentences of 10 and 5 years for "minor" offenses like desecrating human remains. It's the end: "McGuire will be eligible for parole after serving 85 percent of her sentence."
I know she killed a dude, but come on, isn't just giving her that sentence cruel and unusual? She'll go nuts racking her brain for the rest of her life trying to figure out when she's actually eligible for parole. How do you figure for 85% of X when X is always X?
What if she says "I'm going to kill myself in six months"? Then they'd have to make her eligible in 5. Genius.
