Quantum Politics

Seems Dick Cheney has achieved the impossible; being in two political states at the same time whereby he is not part of the executive branch yet claims executive privilege regarding secret documents that are his and his alone even though he is already refusing to comply with a national security directive issued by President Bush. Are we missing something here?

In Quantum Physics, this phenomenon is called Superposition, an arcane concept that explains how sub atomic particles like electrons and photons can be in two or more states at the same time. (Spin-Left/Right/Up/Down etc., etc.) Note: Superposition exists for all atoms in our universe but decoherence prevents this "weird" differing state effect from happening in the "real" world in which we live.

To verify Cheney's astounding feat of political duality, an experiment along the lines of Schrodinger's Cat may be necessary in order to determine if Dick is, in fact, alive and dead at the same time because he, as author of political duality, should have the same superposition capability as his notion of executive status and how it applies to ownership of secret government documents.
