And now we come to the Dick Cheney "Goblet of Fire" Award for Courage in 
the Face of Action. And for the sixth successive year, the award goes to 
... the vice-president of the US ... Dick Cheney!

This year the judge (who is, once again, Dick Cheney) cites in 
particular Mr Cheney's fearlessness in speaking with authority on 
military matters despite the fact that he has never served in the 
military. In fact Mr Cheney received no less than five deferments rather 
than serve his country in uniform. Nor has he lost his nerve, despite 
seeing the death rate of American servicemen and women climb above the 
2,000 mark. Those who have already died will be heartened by his 
courageous determination to risk yet more people's lives.

Well done, Dick. The "Goblet of Fire" is yours once again.
