I'll agree that knocking MQ for her looks is getting old, but there's 
more to being married to someone that just looks.  Your point about 
Charles and Di is a good example of that.  It's not MQ's looks so much 
that would turn me off, but her attitudes and religious beliefs.  Hell, 
there are women and men in this world who look a lot worse than her.  I 
just can't see how a fundamentalist whacko could possibly be fun in the 
sack.  Can you imagine her correcting Our Boy in bed like she does at 
joint press conferences?  <shudder>

this is totally off-topic, but the way i found out richards had won
was really cool and summarizes her appeal nicely. i had just gotten
off work, about 11 pm, on election night. i was waiting for a bus in
downtown austin, and a car with cheering people was stopped at a light
across the street. someone at that bus stop went up to the passenger
window of the car, then went back to the stop. a few seconds later,
people across the street were cheering "she won!!!"

it's the only time i've seen people at a bus stop cheering a

Short thoughts, none of them worth a separate post:

1)  Can we move this Rush Lymphnode stuff out of a.f.d-q?  Yes, I
    "get it," and I think that guy is about as funny as a case of
    leukemia.  If you write vile bile, and put a smiley in it, you
    simply have vile bile with a smile.


2)  DQ's spiritual cousin has been posting to CHI.TEST, a Chicago local
    test group.  This is the entire content of the post:

    > This is a new post
    >  * SLMR 2.1 * Nothing is so smiple that it can't get screwed up.

    At first I simply chuckled.  Then I saw this same post for the sixth
    (yes, sixth) time in one day, and I knew that I was witnessing Dan-
    class greatness.


3)  I had never understood the "liberal media" obsession until a
    campaign appearance DQ made in the Chicago area about two months ago.
    The Chicago Tribune had recommended (this before the convention)
    dropping DQ from the ticket.  Dan's response?  The Tribune is "not
    a conservative newspaper!"

    "Not a conservative newspaper."  He really told THEM where to get off!

    If the Chicago Tribune is "not a conservative newspaper," then the
    country really does have a liberal media.


4)  I become uncomfortable when MQ-bashing takes the form of generic
    female-bashing or wife-bashing, such as in posts of the form "if YOU
    had to look at MQ every day, then you, too, would spend all your time 
    golfing."   Am I the only one who feels this way?

   Well, it's not in the best of taste, but then if alt.fan.d-q
   were restricted to tasteful posts, it would be empty.  So...
   
   It seems to me that the Quayles are not the closest of mated
   pairs.  What are the chances that Our Boy and His Consort  
   will remain wedlocked if MQ's chances for First Lady status
   go out the window this fall?  Will MQ pursue her own
   career, having aborted - oops, uh I mean postponed? -
   her career for the joy of raising little Quayluudes?
   Will Danny pursue his own Gennifer Flowers?  And as
   for the Quayle name...just whose name is it, anyway?

   Stay tuned...

I noticed that the shuttle got into orbit OK, so 
the Dandroid could not have been too close to the launch.

If being in the proximity of Our Boy does this to an otherwise
coherent person, this explains Marilyn pretty well.

BTW, isn't one of Dan-o's many duties (busy, busy, busy...)
is to be on some sort of Space Advisory Council or some
other science-related committee?

An important similarity, one that is interesting to note, is that
both of these men failed to do *anything* when the first stirrings of
the [rec/depr]ession started, and denied the existance of it until it
was obvious to everyone.  Hoover assured the people first that there was
no recession, then that there was only a small recession, but no
depression, then that there was a worldwide depression, but that we were
coming out of it.  Then he said that soon there would be "a turkey in
every pot" for Thanksgiving, etc., etc.  Sound familliar?

h is a limited, positive number.
IQ -> 0+ => Dan has an infinite shoe size.

Infinite shoe size is impossible, so either the equation is wrong, 
or h -> 0+.

In that case, it is necessary to know more about h and IQ to 
prove the equation.

	Johan

Hmmm... I have rather small feet, and rather big hat size.
That should mean a large IQ. The equation seems to be correct.

Card-carrying cultural elitist, thank you. Subscription to Harper's, even.
I also write for a decidedly liberal student newspaper ... not quite a
media "elite", but I'm working on it.

This Friday, of course, I'm meeting with the trial lawyers, where we will
be discussing how best to coordinate our corruption of upstanding family
values, under the direction of our leaders in Hollywood.

Of course, most of the bilge-culture tripe we cultural elitists spend so
much time groaning about is the product of these very same people from
Hollywood. It's purely a marriage of necessity.

Yep, it's true. But you have to know the whole story. KTLA Channel 5 morning 
news is rather a unique news broadcast. It's been described as a cross between
a regular local news show and Saturday Night live. They do all kinds of wacky
and irreverent things, what comes to mind is that recently they "invaded" 
another station's morning news broadcast (Channel 2 - CBS), with no warning, 
cameras running. And they've run their share of Quayle jokes on the air. 

Anyway, what they did was invite Bush, Quayle, Clinton and Gore each to sit
in for a morning and field questions live from the "man on the street". The
only taker (so far) was Quayle. They advertised it all week so I watched
for a few minutes before rushing off to work. Before Quayle went on, he 
was trying to edge his way around the cameras to see the show in action --
and got soundly "shushed" by the show's producer. Then he went on, and the
amazing thing was that he fit right in with the news crew. Even the L.A. Times
review commented that it looked as though he was auditioning for a job on the
show. I don't know if he was given advance warning that this was not your 
regular news show -- but he blended right in and looked to be having a lot of 
fun. He took a number of viewer questions (including the one where he 
explained that his comments about "Murphey Brown" were really an attack on 
deadbeat dads) after an opening comment about being warned that this was the
heart of Hollywood. The news crew kept up running patter about the Secret 
Service agents under the news desk, etc.

From last night's news, after the show, one of the staff at KTLA (which airs
Murphey Brown reruns) decided to go for it and asked him if he'd do a promo
for Murphey Brown. He decided to be a good sport and do it (after all, he was
having sooooo much fun!) The spot consists of a newperson "interviewer" asking
him what his favorite show is. He says "Murphey Brown ..... NOT!". An amazing
command of contemporary slang, if you ask me.

The really fun thing was watching KTLA this morning covering other stations
around the country covering their Tuesday morning show when this all happened.
