As Emil T. Chuck, (previous post) has commented on, Bush did a compromise 
deal with Congress in 1990, the Budget Compromise that gave us deficit 
reductions of $500 billion over 5 years. On october 5 1990, when the 
budget compromise came up for a vote and it looked like many Congressmen 
were nervous about voting for it, Bush did one of the only great things 
he has done in office.  He said, "blame me."  If you are concerned that 
you constituents will not accept this, tell them I say this is neccasary. 
Blame me.  the Budget took 20 more days to finally pass.  And then the 
bottom caved in.  There were so many people angry that Bush broke his 
"Read my lips, no new taxes" promise that Bush cut and ran.  His spine 
gave out and the knees went.  It was back to the old "blame Congress" 
game.  Congress forced me, Congress made me, blame Congress.  He has been 
in that mode ever since late October 1990, and at the behest of the 
Neo-consevative loud mouths has burnt every bridge and poisoned every 
well between him and Congress.  If he had only decided to show a little 
backbone in October 1990!  We could have gone a long way towards solving 
our problems.  But it is too late now.  When his spine collapsed gridlock 
was the only possible result.   On January 30th, 1992 he came out with 
his suggested budget, $1.52 trillion, which gave us a $399 billion 
deficit for 1993, (as estimated by Dick Darman of the OMB). This is $131 
billion more than 1992's deficit of $268 Billion.  Which is $524 for 
every man women and child in America.  Bush is useless, and he has proven 
that ever since October 1990, when he made the decision that he couldn't 
take the heat and that he was going to make Congress his whipping boy.
Early October was the last time George did anything even faintly useful 
or good as regards our economic problems.

Well, it was January... not exactly golfing weather.  The consensus in
the crew around here is someone offered to teach him cross-country
skiing, and he missed the meetings while he was trying to figure out
the bindings.

(For the fortunate- er, uninitiated:  The sole in the front of
cross-country ski boots is sqared off, with small holes in the bottom.
You put these holes over the pegs on the ski binding, and pull a clamp
down over your toes.  In other words, the above is intended as a
joke.)

If you'll recall, in the original "Murphy Brown" speech, he also
castigated those "sitting in faculty lounges" for being a part of the
cultural elite. I would surmise that most of my former teachers and

Has anybody else noticed Marilyn's lips?  They seem to be permanently glued open. 
It doesn't matter whether she is smiling or not smiling, the lips are in the same,
open, ugly teeth poking out positon.  For instance, when Dufus made reference to 
her during his speech and everybody cheered, I would have expected a big smile from
her.  But no, her expresion didn't change.  Just those big ugly teeth.  And then
after the cheer died down, her expresion still didn't change.  Just those big ugly
teeth.  This is a serious question (kind of) -- are her lips really stuck open?
I mean, this woman is dog ugly.

Subject: Bush on Abortion: In My Own Words

Please, let The Man express his own deep-seated commitment to the life
of the unborn:

    Bush refuses to answer questions about his change of heart on
    abortion, citing "my right as an American to remain silent."
                                  -George "The Man" Bush, 09/10/84.

    "There are an awful lot of things I don't remember."

                                   his previous support for abortion
                                   poses a credibility problem.

    "My position is like Ronald Reagan's.  Put that down, mark that

And just as a bonus (not related):

     George Bush denies that he ever used the phrase "voodoo economics"
     and challenges "anybody to find it."  NBC's Ken Bode promptly
     broadcasts the 1980 tape.

Yeah, like *I* wasn't. Figure Bush, who's already approaching life expectancy
for white males in the U.S and with non-trivial health problems and
you-know-who as a backup. I really savour the thought...

I heard there was Indiana bashing going on here and to my dismay, it is 
true.  Not only Indiana, but my own beloved adopted hometown, South Bend,
has been portrayed in a less than flattering manner!

Okay, so we are flat and overfarmed, and yes South Bend does feature 
a peculiar odor when the winds turn to the southwest, but you can't 
blame S.B. for Danny! We are the Indiana stronghold of old-time union 
Democrats.  And if you don't believe me, visit us next spring, the 
Monday after Easter, known to those of Polish extraction as Dyngus Day. 
Come to the West-Side Democratic Club for kielbasa and beer and good ole-

Date: 18 Aug 92 17:38:04 GMT
Organization: Clark University

Just sitting here watching some convention BS, when Bernie Shaw did a 15 
minute interview with our friend Danny.  I wish I taped it.  I was typing in 
notes while watching it; here are a couple of great highlights.  Mildly 
paraphrased, but as I said, I was taking notes so it's close...

[HOLY SHIT!  CNN still on...Larry Bird is retiring!!!  live press conference
                                                                 ACK!!!!!!!!]

Bernie asked "How many of the President's [political] problems are your 
fault?"  Danny refused to answer, but Bernie pressed it.  "I'd rather think in 
the positive.  I'd like to take credit for all the positive things."

Bernie brought up the possibility of a VP debate on September 29th.  Danny 
said Jim Baker is responsible for confirming the debate, but "I'm ready and 
I'm biting my tongue."

Danny said one of his mistakes in the 1988 campaign was not relying on his own 
political instincts.  He says he's doing that now, and promises to continue 
doing that.  [Great!  More Quaylisms ahead I'm sure!]

Bernie asked that if Danny wins in November, will he be "Heir to the 
throne"?  Danny's response: "Let's get through this election, then we'll talk 
about 1994"  1996 Dan, not 94!

The rest of it was normal political stuff.

Not necessarily, even if you're among those who distrusts 
Governor Clinton. Let me tell you about my day yesterday...

It started, as do many lately, with a leisurely stroll through
a.f.d-q, accompanied by a few chuckles, a posting or two, and
occasional outrage at some of our less enlightened colleagues'
postings. The Republican convention seemed to permeate the entire
day, even here in the wilds of Silicon Valley. In my car at lunch,
Molly Ivens on NPR considerably brightened n=my day with a few 
pithy observations (some already reported here), then the program
was taken over by a few of the foaming-mouth variety Republicans
who would have you believe that either Clinton is the Anti-Christ.
So, some disquiet from that.

In the evening, with the convention in full swing, my radio kept
spewing out more and more rightist agitprop, and my blood pressure
began to rise again. So, I took a detour and dropped in on
Future Fantasy, the Palo Alto science fiction and fantasy bookstore.
There, in the window, was just what I needed to see - 
a poster saying:

"Why Settle For The Lesser Evil? Chthulhu For President!" 

Back in the car, Marilyn's speech was in full stride. Somehow,
that didn't matter anymore. A strange and eerie calm began
to settle over me...
