Mondale died in 2021; Cheney died this week in 2025 -- what are their major differences?
After losing in re-election on Carter-Mondale
ticket in 1984, Mondale next ran for his party's nomination
and chose a woman on the ticket as his nominated VP.
Cheney accepted the VP slot after helping George W.
Bush narrow his VP selections down to one potential
successor : himself.
Who served as an Ambassador to Japan? Mondale did.
Whose spouse outlived him? Lynne Cheney did.
Who was from the Midwest? Mondale hailed from MN
Who was from the West? Cheney born in Lincoln, NB but called
WYOMING home and served as Congress Repr.-at-large.
Mondale enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1951; Cheney got
a draft-deferment having a wife and 2 daughters to support
out of college / grad. school.
The Mondales had a daughter who died, Eleanor, in 2011.
Seven Vice-Presidents who died in office (two during James Madison presidency)
George Clinton
Elbridge Gerry
William Rufus De Vane King
Henry Wilson
Thomas Hendricks
Garrett Hobart
James Sherman (20th century VP - under Taft)
The 2nd most "Powerful" Vice President in American History -- TR
After Dick Cheney, arguably the most "Powerful" Vice
President of the United States --
Theodore Roosevelt, who
succeeded the assassinated
Wm McKinley in 1901 -
into only 6 mos. of his
second term; elected on
his own campaign in 1904
and ran as candidate of the
Progressive
Bull Moose party in 1912.
TR (as some nickname him)
won the Nobel Peace Prize
by resolving the Russo-
Japanese war. Some might
argue that LBJ was more
"powerful" than TR but
I disagree.
Do historians agree that certain Vice Presidents were rogues? ne'er-do-wells? should have gone to prison?
Aaron Burr (VP - Jefferson 1st term)
Andrew Johnson (succeeded A. Lincoln after
April 1865 assassination)
Richard Nixon
Spiro Agnew
but who knows ? ? ?
Did two vice-presidents ever die on the same date? YES
John Adams (VP for George Washington)
and
Thomas Jefferson (VP for John Adams)
both died on
July 4, 1826

Indifference to evil
from Essay "God Demands Justice"
Abraham Joshua Heschel
There is an evil which most
of us condone and are even
guilty of: indifference to evil.
We remain neutral, impartial,
and not easily moved by the
wrongs done unto other people.
Indifference to evil is more
insidious than evil itself;
it is more universal, more
contagious, more dangerous.
A silent justification, it makes
possible an evil erupting as an
exception becoming the rule and
being in turn accepted. The prophets'
great contribution to humanity was the
discovery of the evil of indifference.
One may be decent and sinister, pious
and sinful. The prophet is a person
who suffers the harms done to others.
Wherever a crime is committed, it is
as if the prophet were the victim
and the prey. The prophet's angry
words cry. The wrath of God is
a lamentation. All prophecy is one
great exclamation: God is not
indifferent to evil! He is always
concerned. He is personally
affected by what man does to man.
He is a God of pathos!

Heschel
from Thunder in the Soul (2021)
Plough Spiritual Guide SERIES
The beginning of faith is not a feeling
for the mystery of living or a sense
of awe, wonder, or fear. The root of
religion is the question of what to do
with the feeling for the mystery of living,
what to do with awe, wonder, or fear.
Religion, the end of isolation, begins
with a consciousness that something is
asked of us. It is in that tense,
eternal asking in which the soul is
caught and in which man's answer is
elicited.
Wonder is not a state of esthetic
enjoyment. Endless wonder is
endless tension, a situation in
which we are shocked at the inadequacy
of our awe, at the weakness of our
shock, as well as the State of being
asked the ultimate question.
Endless wonder unlocks an innate sense
of indebtedness. Within our awe there
is no place for self-assertion. Within
our awe we only know that all we own
we owe. The world consists, not of
things, but of tasks. Wonder is
the state our being asked. The
ineffable is a question addressed
to us.
All that is left to us is a choice ---
to answer or to refuse to answer. Yet
the more deeply we listen, the more
we become stripped of the arrogance
and callousness which alone would
enable us to refuse. We carry a
load of marvel, wishing to exchange
it for the simplicity of knowing
what to live for, a load which we
can never lay down nor continue to
carry not knowing where!

The Ecstasy of Owen Muir
What kind of book was
Ring Lardner's "great American" novel?
"It originally appeared during the darkest
days of the McCarthy era (1950s America).
Lardner was a blacklisted screenwriter
who had served a year in prison for
defying the House Un-American Activities
committee. The book was greeted with
near-deafening silence by the American
literary establishment, received virtually
no commercial distribution, and seemingly
sank into obscurity with a ripple.
Yet this extraordinary work -- perhaps
the finest satiric novel since those of
Nathaniel West -- refused to vanish. Its
reputation grew by word of mouth, rare
copies passed from hand to hand, and now
October 1972 it has re-surfaced in its NEW
American (SIGNET press) printing
to be recognized as the masterpiece it
most surely is.
A slashing commentary on such diverse
phenomena as
war
political repressing,
penal servitude,
racism,
organized religion,
big business,
liberalism,
sex,
and other familiar features of our age.
