On Tuesday, former Vice President (and unindicted co-conspirator) Dick Cheney will publish his autobiography In My Time. One of the revelations made in the book is that in March 2001, Cheney wrote a letter of resignation and instructed his aides to deliver it to the President if he ever became “incapacitated.” The Idiotical has obtained a copy of this letter.

Yesterday, Libyan rebels stormed Muammar el-Qaddafi’s stronghold, and took TONS of mementos — including the fallen dictator’s gold-plated rifle, his clothes, even his golf cart! But that was just a fraction of the looting! Here's what else they found...
• An obviously Photoshopped picture of Qaddafi shaking hands with Elvis
• A defiant statement from Qaddafi, vehemently denying that his home is being ransacked
• An amazing collection of silly hats
• Thank you notes from Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham for the hospitality he showed them when they visited 2 years ago
• A gold club membership card to the Tripoli Sunglass Hut
• “Ruler for Life” sashes that he and Mubarak both wore last New Year’s Eve
