Walking Dead

It almost sounds like a publicity stunt for the third season of True Blood: news that Dick Cheney has a new contraption implanted to keep him 'alive' that renders him technically a zombie. Says the NYT:

The pumps are partial artificial hearts known as ventricular assist devices, and they come in various models. Mr. Cheney’s kind is about the size of a D battery and leaves most recipients without a pulse.

If the thought of a pulseless Cheny don't give you the heebie jeebies, nothing will.
