That is right, the VP is the "puppet master", for the CFR, (Council on Foreign Relations).

Branch 'Dicky'
Ministry of Truth
Wars 'R Us

How about: Ministry of Truth (Big Brother is watching you...)

How about office of the dark master for the branch of government?

How about the ministry of Dicked Truth.

This line of "logic" is proof positive that one should never trust a man who talks out of the side of his mouth!

Department of Other Priorities

Cheney's real title: The Uber Reichsfuhrer of Death or T.U.R.D.

...heading the Department of Extermination, Assassination, Torture and Hatred - D.E.A.T.H

Ministry of Fascist Dictatorship.

Cheney's comment to Senator Patrick Leahy on the Senate floor was "Go F#$% yourself!" This has been his response to any attempt at oversight. Thus, his branch should be called GFY.

Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

"Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda."

I like that one as well however, if that doesn't work he can always go to what he is most well known for and represent as the Minister of Wildlife and Gaming Accidents.

The Department of Face Peppering

I know you guys are trying to make light of the situation, but a Canadian friend of mine wanted to know why we aren't "pouring into the streets, demanding his resignation". My response was, who are we to demand said resignation from? Dubya? Will anything be done? Is there anything we can do?

The Undisclosed Branch

That's what they meant all along when they said Cheney was being kept at an undisclosed location.

"Unilateral Vice President"

or

"Unitary (Ex-Haliburton)Executive"

Re: Anne's post: Bush will never have him resign, so we'd have to push for impeachment...which would be tough as there's no guarantee enough Repubs. would jump on the bandwagon and proving it in the Senate would be just as tough...

Remember that you need to be insisting your representatives sponsor Kucinich bill HR 333 to impeach Dick Cheney--he took an oath of office, and he has violated it. Impeace Dick first! Go to www.kucinich.us to learn more, his plans for health care for all, how to bring about peace, education...

In order to avoid overly confusing moments for Dubya, I think it should be called the Excrement Branch.

"That is why they call me DICK department"

"When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school", I've been trying to unlearn as much as possible, what I inadvertently picked up in public so-called "education", but Mother Jones keeps reminding me of just how bad it was.

ThomasMc got nailed it. Cheney is the first Dick-tator. The mission statement for this branch is clear--
"Relentlessly promote
Government of the People
By the Corporations
For the Corporations."
That's not Democracy folks, it's Fascism. You can look it up in your dictionary.

How about the Special office of the Need to Know , They just tell us the people, what they think we need to know,

In the 60's I, a foreigner, did a Civics course at the main US base in southern German, prepatory to university entrance. It was clear, concise and unambiguous and my understanding at the time, from my American friends of similar vintage was that they'd had similar courses in high school. The question thus arises, WTF happened to your country into amerika, no principle left unsullied, no ethic left unviolated and no rational public discourse possible?
I despair for your country. I loathe 'compulsory voting' in principle but, given the dismally low turnouts at Prez. elections, something is seriously wrong.

Here I was, thinking that Bush was trying to make himself Emperor, and it turns out that Cheney already had the job all along. Is my face red!

Looks like the history books in civics will have to be rewritten or disclaimed by the publishers. Also, the Cheney History will now be the starting point for American History from now on and anything written before Cheney will be made history.

I was taught, "If you have nothing to hide, then you have no secrets. And if you have secrets, then you have lies."

Pray for Peace, God Bless Each of You.

The branch previously had a title, it was called the Office of Special Plans. Once they got got making an end run around the CIA and others actually tasked with coming up with intelligence on Iraq, they dropped that name. With their war in Iraq in full drive, the name has switched to Office on Iranian Affairs or some such name. Since the name changes with each new agenda, lets just call the fourth branch what it is, Halliburton, Inc.

Daniel Schorr on NPR suggested Cheney for a new cabinet post: Secretary of Secrecy...

Special
Corrupt SCREW U
Republican
Entitlement
White house

The man needs to be arrested, tried and hung for treason and murder

I agree with ALL suggestions and comments thus far.

I'd call it the "What, me worry?" department, or, "Dick's Tricks".

Is any of this a surprise? As our eloquent prez once said, "fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again"...
Ok, ladies & gents, can you PLEASE stop the online echo chamber and gather your collective intelligence to figure out some way to enact our collective disappointment and disapproval beyond what our spineless Congress is willing to do?
Really, is any of this NEWS? We knew we were dealing with deceitful and powerhungry "folks" from square one. Honestly, is our collective response to "wait it out" until the 2008 elections, allowing Pelosi and Reed to slither their way out of their commitments to their constituents (read: setting legally-binding timelines for Iraq, halting the clearly-documented cases of Executive overreaching, etc)?
Is the strategy to wait it out, in the hopes that the constitution is strong enough to survive a potential attack on Iran and further trespasses to our civil liberties? Because if it is, call a spade a spade and go back to your day jobs, cuz as I said, none of this is news, and the echo chamber is getting REALLY OLD.
Seriously, do we have to create a general fund to hire lobbyists just so we can get our point across in a way that Congress will understand? Do we need to purchase air time on competing networks to reach out to the 41% and growing who still believe Iraq had something to do with 9-11? Do we need to hire consultants to make sure the truth will play in Peoria? Cuz frankly, this echo chamber stuff ain't working, and the special interests running the show are not (contrary to some opinions) stupid people.... just mostly amoral, with a dash (ok, a barrel) of will to power at any cost to boot.

- A frustrated patriot.

Dick Cheney brings to my mind Phalaris, the Tyrant of Agrigentum in ancient Greece who built an Ox of Bronze which was used as a means of executing criminals. It was designed so that as the clouds of smoke rose up from the burning body they were mixed with incense to give a rosy smell while tubing was used inside the Ox's bronze belly in such a way that it muted and altered the screams into a musical harmony so that nothing would disturb the tyrant while he feasted with his guests during the executions and to ease digestion.

the shadow branch, obviously, where dick cheney's official title is minister of world domination

The Frustrated Patriot has hit is right on the head. Also, consider the following mathematical formula: B + D = S which is applicable now more than ever. It simply means: Bush + Dick = Screwed.

If you think we operate in a constitutional democracy, you don't know Dick.

In a recently found addendum to a hidden codice of the constitution--written on the back of a signing statement: Congress shall make no law respecting Dick Cheney's free exercise of absolute power.
