Yes, they did. And Safire was frequently to blame. Another famous

Naw, I'm just an Ordinary Average Guy, like Cousin Joe.  We're all related
too!  :-)

In all fairness, it's hard to tell who started the big Wilder-Robb feud.
They probably deserve each other.  I'll say this much:  it all makes great
soap opera.  Now there's also a Wilder-Terry feud going on; apparently the
Governor of Virginia is suing the Attorney General of Virginia.

(For non-Virginians, a word of explanation:  this is all a source of great
 comfort to the Virginia GOP since all of these feuding folks are Democrats.
 It probably won't make much difference who wins the governorship in '93, but
 what worries me is the possibility that Republican Oliver North (yes, THAT
 Ollie North) will end up capturing Robb's U.S. Senate seat.)

    The song is called "(What A) Wonderful World" and is by the late Sam
Cooke (or Cook, as Danoe would probably spell it).  You're right, this is a
natural for a Quayle anthem.  "Don't know much about a science book/Don't

Safire and Buchanan were not speechwriters for Wallce; who
was at least nominally a Democrat.  If Wallace said it,
Safire and Buchanan didn't write it.

Well, don't feel too bad, Ralph.  I've quayled pretty badly here myself.  I

misattributed the "nattering nabobs" speech to Buchanan once before in this

Well, now that the Bushman has pardoned all the crooks and sent a clear
message that it is OK to break the law, as long as you have and rich and
powerful friends, the focus is now on the Bushman himself.

As far as I can tell he is not allowed to pardon himself. Since I wouldn't
expect BC to do it, there is only one possibility. The Quaylemeister is
going to to president for a day! Yep. Watch George 'resign' for some reason
and DQ take over to pardon his boss! Nixon did it, so will George.

Marilyn may get her wish, after all she said she will do everything
in her power to make sure that Dan becomes president.

If this does in fact transpire it will put an interesting end to this

Summary: Rambling theory of R.E.M., Iran-Contra, and Dan Quayle

  Ok, so I know I shouldn't be looking for meaning in the lyrics of
R.E.M.'s songs, but for several weeks now, I have been resisting the
urge to release my theory (which is mine) that their latest hit
single, "Drive", is a tribute to the Iran-Contra thing.

  I got the CD for Christmas and immediately popped it in.  I listened
to the song several times while thumbing through my collection of
Iran-Contra trading cards.  I offer here three phrases which support my 
theory:

   Snap, crack, Bush whack,
   Tie another one to your rack, baby.
	(Reference to George Bush)

   Ollie, .... Ollie, Ollie, in come free
   Hey, kids, where are you,
   Nobody tells you what to do
	(Reference to Ollie North, mastermind of Iran-Contra.  
	 Currently planning his rise as Dictator of the Americas)

   Snap, crack, Shackalack,
   Tie another one to your back
	(Reference to Theodore Shackley, involved in CIA covert
	 operations since 1960.  Commander of Covert operations
	 in 1976-77 under George Bush.  Member of the Reagan
	 presidency transition team in 1980-81).

The evidence pretty much speaks for itself.  I wish I had more time to
pursue this, but I'm currently finishing up research on my theory that
Elvis was an undercover agent for the FBI during the Nixon
administration.


ObQuayle:  From Iran-Contra trading card #14:
    "Robert Owen, former legislative aide to Indiana Senator Dan
   Quayle, was recruited by NSC staffer Oliver North, CIA hand John
   Hull, (whom he had first met in Quayle's office in 1983), and
   contra leader Adolpho Calero for the crucial role as liaison
   between individuals who were aiding the contras."

It's tempting to beleive that this could explain why Bush was 
obligated to choose Danny as his running mate.  Sure, it's a long 
shot, but weigh that against the theory that Bush actually beleived 
that Dan was qualified to be vice president.

I don't think the QuayleDikshunerry(tm) should be solely confined to
Our Boy.  There are many other politicians who deserve an included
definition or two.  Maybe even some non-politicians.  (Marilyn, for
instance.)

I would suggest some a.f.d-q poster whose wit surpasses mine own
(that's pretty much *any* of you guys...but especially Maddi :-)
formulate definitions for:

Lloyd Bensen (sp?)
George Bush (of course!)
Ronald Reagan
Nancy Reagan ("Jesus Christ!  What are you, a nancy?  You believe in that
	stuff?")

Hell, include Clinton and Gore.  (Personally, any definitions I'd come up
with for these two would be positive, but that's my liberal bias showing...)

Clarence Thomas (!) ("So?  Did you at least clarence her last night?")

The possibilities are endless...

I wonder about the size and content of it. Will it be closet size?
Will it be the first library that deals exclusively with comic books?
	And if it a statue, what pose might he strike?

Bye Don.  You willbe back I am sure.  How can you not find a way back to 
A.F.D.Q.?

I agree 90% with your post about the press and the republican Liars.
  But I note that uncovering their lies is not enough.  Because it was 
done many times.  I remember about 1982 there were numerous articles and 
commentaries about how even tho' reagan lied and was caught that the 
America public simply did not care.  And it was true.  And during the 
elections, Bush lied and the press did indeed point out his lies. "128 
tax raises", for instance.  Probably helped a little in his defeat.
And I did notice others.  But you are right, not enough.  I am always 
amazed how our NeoConservative fools can swallow these lies and clamber 
for more.  And as long as they do, somebody will give 'em happy, 
whopping, lies.  
  And let's face it. doesn't look like things are going to get better on 
this front for some time.  But I wll say that the press has finally 
gotten good at debunking election frauds despite the fact that many still 
ignore this if it is THEIR candidate that lies.  I noticed for instance 
that for three days after Dan's "debate" with Al Gore, the press had a 
good jolly time debunking Dan's little frauds to the nth detail.
  I was also impressed with the way that the claims of Marijuana found in 
Jerry Browns residence, ect were handled.  So I have not given up hope 
with the press totally yet.
  Actually, this election seemed the best in two decades as far as the 
press goes.  I think there may even have been a little bit of rivalry 
between pundits and newspapers and TV organizations to have the best and 
most thourough debunkings brought to us the fastest.  The move to debunk 
Negative Ads is encouraging too.

So I say cheer up, it aint ALL bad.  Just make sure next election, that 
if you see a good choice debunking performed, you write the organization 
responsible and thank 'em, and demand more of the same.  And if everybody 
did that occasionally, we would have a better press and a hopefully 
better and more truthful elections.

Pope Charles   SubGenius Pope Of Houston.   We demand more debunkimgs.

Why, there's only one possible choice, and the photo on which the artwork
must be based already exists!  It's the famous photo, recently discussed in
this group, of Dan in danger of blowing off his own elbow with a missile
launcher (or grenade launcher or whatever the bloody thing was) because he's
holding it backward.  And, just as the original V-shaped wall of the Vietnam
memorial in Washington was eventually supplemented by a statue of three
soldiers, the Dan statue too must be supplemented by figures of the two South
American officials looking on in amusement.  Finally, over one of the
officials there must be a bronze thought balloon bearing the words "What a
dope!", preferably in both Spanish and English.
