Just heard on CNN that the Quayle Quarterly, presumably to the sorrow of its 
roughly 12000 subscribers, plans to disband. The editors reportedly expressed 
some relief over the Republican defeat; one said that
years of thinking about Dan Quayle had started to "atrophy her brain".
Just wish I'd ever gotten around to subscribing.  :-(

George & Bar still live there, I believe they have better minds then quayle,

You got that right. Wilson will practically have to pull off a political
miracle to keep the governorship in '94. He suffered a number of big
setbacks in this election - his hand-picked successor in the Senate,
John Seymour, was trounced by Dianne Feinstein; his personally sponsored
referendum that would have given the governor wide emergency powers
in budget "crises" (which can be created by the governor disagreeing
with the state legislature over the budget) was soundly defeated; California
went for a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time in 28
years, after Wilson insisted on being Bush's state campaign chairman;
and the Republicans failed to pick up ground in the state legislature
even after 1990 reapportionment that was very favorable to them. Wilson
will now have to deal with the right wing of the California GOP, which
is very upset with him, as well as an increasingly hostile Democratic
legislature.

Remember also that it really took 20 years from McGovern's defeat before
the Democrats effectively moved to capture the center vote in a presidential
race. (Carter's win really doesn't count; just about any Democrat off
the street could have won after Watergate, and one did.) I don't see
the Republicans recovering by '96; there's going to be a lot of infighting
in the GOP, they have no clear leaders and no clear vision for the country's
future.

	Just thought I might post this for amusement. I saw U2 in 
concert last weekend and they used our hero giving a speech for a 
backdrop to one of their songs.

	I don't remember the name of the song (I was rather intoxicated at 
the time), but on their HUGE TV screens they ran a tampered with recording
of Dannikins giving some rediculous speech on family values and Murphy Brown.
	U2 cut and spliced the video (it was obvious. They didn't try to
hide it.) to make the Danster say (in a rap style) "Watch..Watch..Watch
more TV. Television...Television...Television is doing the job."
 	They then panned the video to show the president shrub and 
all the other Republicans applauding.
	(To give you an idea of what U2 was trying to get across with
this message, their tour is called "Zoo TV".

This looks like an appropriate place to inject a bit of word origins:

Politics: from the Greek:  "Poly"  = many
                           "ticks" = blood-sucking parasites. 

(I don't remember the source of this.  Sounds like Dave Barry.)

Or like the Republicans this year, investigating Clinton, and Clinton's
mother. Also, Dan might want to comment on why the federal prisoner
who claimed he sold Dan marijuana was held incommunicado by the Feds
before the 1988 election.

This is the first time I am posting to the net, and let me say right away that
I am a loyal democrat. Still, because Gore and Quayle are friends, and because
I feel kinda bad for Dan, I am posting this story  for all of those who are
sick of defending of all things, his spelling.


The following is from "In the Days of my Father, General Grant" by Jessie
Grant, the youngest son of the general (and later REPUBLICAN President).

	When U.S. Grant became the general-in-chief of all armies in the field,
during the civil war, he sent his family to live on the east coast, so as to be
near him. His youngest son was sent to accompany his older sister to school one
day, and they had a spelling bee that day. The teacher allowed Jessie to
participate, and she asked him the spell the word boy, and he answered "b-o-y,"
and then she asked him to spell the word moon, and he answered "m-u-n-e." The
teacher then asked him to sit down. 

	Whether Jessie, who was seven at the time, didn't know what was going 
on, or he felt he had spelt the word correctly, I don't know. He went to his
father that night and told him everything. And then his father smiled and said,
"You are a democrat. Your spelling proves it."

	I hope you all got the joke. Most of my friends didn't. If you didn't
get the joke, but would like to get the story straight from the book
I'll send it to you. By the way, the quotes below are also by US Grant

Nah.  I'm just old.  His editorials on the local TV station were
the funniest parts of my days in the early '70s *before* he got
elected.  The man, seriously, was a proponent of a nationwide 45
MPH speed limit.  I have vivid recollections of the first how I
learned that he had won his first election (it hadn't been called
when I went to bed).  I stepped into the elevator going to my office.
The person traveling up with me opened his newspaper, snapped it to
attention, and groaned 'omigod, Jesse Helms'.  It was a very bad day.

Uh, Sunil, I think you mistook my questioning for sarcasm. Because Ben
*is* well acquainted with the nuances of a parliamentary system and I'm
not, I was simply asking, because I don't know the answer, whether or
not in Britain people vote directly for the Prime Minister. The above
quote seemed to indicate that they did, and I was confused because I
didn't think that was case. So I assume that what was meant was that
they were sorry they voted for the Conservatives. True?

  Thank you, Todd, for bringing up William Howard Taft.  I compared George
  Bush not to such notable losers as Taft and Landon, but to two men
  who have had the misfortune to become synonomous with losing:  Herbert
  Hoover and Barry Goldwater.  I once saw someone win a game of Boticelli
  on the first question, "If you were a bird, what kind on bird would you
  be?" by correctly guessing "Herbert Hoover" on the response of, "An
  albatross."  The reason that George Bush's 37.5% finish is a GOP Personal
  Best is that he took the Reagan Coalition, responsible for two presidential
  wins, one of them massive, and managed to reduce it to the size of Barry 
  Goldwater's base.
  
  This is quite an achievement.

Omigod, you're right!  I never thought of it that way.  I've talked
with voters over 45 who had a good opinion of Mondale based upon
his Humphrey associations, but these folks are few and far between.
Putting Mondale up against Reagan was sheer folly ... comparable
to Quayle vs. Clinton.  In each case the underdog assumes that they
are more competent than their predecessor (Mondale/Carter, and OBD/Bush).

Now this is a sign of _real_ change.  When was the last time we had
a cat in the White House?  Usually they just have friendly, snuffly ol'
dogs like Millie and Liberty.  Maybe this could be the basis for the
Republican comeback: restoring the traditional pets to the Oval Office.
So the logical ticket is ...

Quayle/Millie '96!

Millie could write the speeches.

Yes, and spending $25,000 of the taxpayers' money to have a putting
green installed at the Veep's residence.

There was also the time that Bush told reporters that there was no recession
and the country was doing pretty well in his opinion, at a golfcourse.

That is an outright lie.  Clinton had 43%, Bush 38%.  

It seems that Robert Davis is as dishonest as the rest of the republican
party.  Or maybe that's not it... maybe he's just stupid, and can't count.
