Fact of the Day: Dick Cheney has no pulse

From the Wikipedia entry on Dick Cheney:
In early July 2010, Cheney was outfitted with a left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) at Inova Fairfax Heart and Vascular Institute to compensate for worsening congestive heart failure. The device pumps blood continuously through his body. He was released from Inova on August 9, 2010, and will have to decide whether to seek a full heart transplant. This pump is centrifugal and as a result he is alive without a pulse.
Insert joke about him being the living dead and/or a heartless bastard here.

Reminiscent of the 1980s joke about Reagan not having an asshole (or, as a variation, being rejected by the said orifice after surgery) which nearly got me punched by a group of Republican lawyers visiting the Middle Temple at the time...
