Exactly.  Which only makes me wonder why people like George and Dannikins
want so much to occupy the White House in the first place.  Perhaps they
think their role is ornamental?

Actually, bushita is the past tense.  Bushsuru is the present tense.
Literally, it means, "to do a Bush."

This is all starting to get very reminiscent of what the Japanese press
was having a heyday with after Bush bushed on the prime minister.

(first, "to bush" became synonymous with "to vomit." Pretty soon, some guy
had a monkey on TV that would make this really loud, realistic wretching

   Sure, when he says (my paraphrase) "In spite of the constitution, you
guys go over there and completely sabotage that congressionaly mandated and
presidentially signed legislation because my political cronies told me it might
impede their competativeness by half a sintilla" the council on competativeness
goes and does it.  Hardly "laughter".

   Finally, on a lighter note, the whole Murphy Brown/Dan Quayle controvery is
sort of nice.  I feel the same way about it that Ronald Regan would have felt
about, say, a sino-soviet war.  Candice Bergen has decided to support PETA, a
group who is too ignorant to tie their own shoes (I say this aside from any
opinions about the worth of their cause, I mean these people are _dumb_).  We
know about JDQ's level of sentience.  I see it as a win-win situation if they

Methinks you should read the cover story in this month's issue of Harper's. 
It's an excellent analysis of Bush's real second term agenda and "vision thing."
Basically, bringing the cozy low-wage, lax-regulation, be-thankful-you-make-

I hate to jump to DQ's defense, BUT:

1. This was in an interview, not his speech

2. This quote actually makes sense. What he said was (paraphrased due to
poor memory) "Im not worried about 1996. First, we want to get Bush re-
elected. Then we have to wrry about 1994".

What he means here is first things first. First, the fascists want to win
the presidency. Then, in  1994, the fascists (oops, republicans) want
to regain the Congress. Then they can worry about the 1996 election.

It really did make sense, especially for quayle. I even understand his
position; when youre up against the ropes in 1992, and with a major
mid-term congressional season coming up in 1994, who cares about 1996?

In a sense, this is rather macabre. It is very sad that 10% of our
population can't spell 'tomato' or 'vegetable', but that isn't
nearly the point. The point is *why*. *Why* do we let people slip through
the cracks. *Why* don't we care?

I just want to bush this little tidbit: I lived in Indianapolis for 3 years.
Hoosier mentality made Deep South Mentality look like cultural elitism.

The state motto was (perhaps still is) : Wander.  

The single most important thing in this state is the High School basketball 
tournament.

The universities (oddly there are several) are pockets of culture and
enlightenment (with the possible exception of Purdue but only because
of the sheer quantity of engineers) that one visits like one would visit a
Zoo.

This is also the state that sent Dan to the Senate. 

I rest my case.
