And boy, do we a.f.d-q'ers know that the True Dan Fans are humor-impaired.

Over on a.f.dave-barry, Mr. Switzer posits that amazing hypothesis that
the Davester voted for Bush.  He used the quote above as his proof.  I
should remind Mr. Switzer what Dave Barry had to say about Our Man Dan.
I don't have the exact quote, but it was long the lines of:

  Republicans are complaining about the media smear campaign that is
  directed against them, in particular towards Vice-President Dan Quayle.
  These dirty tricks consist of reporting what Dan Quayle actually said.

Alright!  Dave Barry is a true a.f.d-q'er!

And anyone who is so humor-impared (like all of Dan's Fans) to think
that when a humorist makes a joke it necessarily reflects her/his
political beliefs does not deserve to be mentioned in the same paragraph
as Dave Barry.

Arrgh!  Deja Vu!

in 1965 or 6 I met Tricky Dick Nixon, who had been "out of politics" since
1962.  Now, Nixon loved sports and became an entirely different person
when sports were being discussed--he became genuinely alive and there
was no sign of the jerky gestures and awkwardnesses that accompanied
his statements about politics.

Anyway, it had just been announced that he was being considered for
commissioner of baseball.  Someone in our group asked if he intended
to accept.  No, he replied, he was very busy with his law practice in
New York (read running for president).  I have always thought that
both Nixon and the Nation would have been a lot happier if he had
accepted.

Since the original post I have been thinking about the proper job for
Dan.  The best I can come up with, in view of the possibility of
GHWB becoming president of Yale, is Dean of the Ringling Brothers'
Clown College.

Should we hope that Dan Quayle runs for president in 1996 because 
we could laugh at him a lot?  Or should we hope that he doesn't run,
because there might be a slim chance that he would win?

If the Republicans continue in 1996 with the agenda so nicely 
expounded by Pat Puke-cannon, should we hope that they nominate Dan
Quayle for president, so that they have the greatest possible
chance of losing?  Or should we hope that they nominate someone
competent, just in case they do win?

Gore would be an extremist if his environmental ideas were in conflict with
private property rights.  I know there's a difference between advocating
clean, efficient cars and saying that we shouldn't drive them.  So far,
his ideas seem sensible.  The extremist minority gets all the media attention,

What are the chances that Dan Quayle will someday be president of the
U.S.? Slim to none if history is any guide, assuming Bush survives until
January 20.

Quayle is the 44th vice president of the U.S. Fourteen veeps, almost
one third, have become president. But nine of those succeeded to the
office on the death or resignation of the former occupant. Only five
(Adams, Jefferson, Van Buren, Nixon, Bush) were elected in their own
right, and only three after the passage of the 12th Amendment in 1804
for all practical purposes relegated the office of vice president to
the level of a political appointment. Only one veep (Nixon) was elected
president subsequent to leaving the office of vice president, and to
date no veep has become president after being on a losing ticket with
an incumbent president.

Gee, is this one of those liberal commie textbooks we keep hearing
so much about? Well, the conflicts and problems of the '60s were
largely reactions to the attempt to force conservative "American"
values on society in the rabidly paranoid McCarthyist Cold War days.
The fact that these values didn't work for large segments of the
population, like blacks, women, and young people, led to a certain
rebellion and friction in society. Even the Vietnam war was caused
by a myopic American Cold War vision that saw a Communist conspiracy
everywhere and failed to distinguish between a nationalistic movement
that could have been co-opted and one that they thought had to be battled
by supporting a series of corrupt right-wing regimes. It wasn't until
middle class boys started dying and middle class parents started
coming out against the war that the government decided that maybe the
war should be brought to an end (you realize that it lasted 10 years?).

Do you see any parallels here? You complain about the '60s. The best
way to get them again is for the right wing to get in power and try to
force their "family values" agenda on a populace that wants no part
of it.

But one thing the '60s did have more of than we've had for a while:
hope for the future and a sense that things would get better. That
was largely inspired by the activist government of the Kennedy and
Johnson administrations, before Vietnam dragged it down. That's one
thing I hope the Clinton administration will leave as a legacy for
the generation that comes to power in 20 to 30 years: the attitude
that things can be made better, and that problems can be solved by
working on them, in contrast to the what seems to be the attitude
of the generation shaped in the Reagan/Bush years, that everything
is screwed, there's no way to fix things so the best thing to do
is to grab all the material wealth one can.

And if Bush signed the "second largest tax increase in history", then can 
you remember who signed the largest tax increase in history? Can you say 
Ronald "Wrinkles" Reagan?  And let us not forget Bush's 1992 suggested 
budget with it's $399 billion dollar Deficit.  This is typical 
Reaganomics.  Spend, spend, spend, spend.  Debts and deficits galore!
This is what Reagan did for eight long years.  And Bush followed in his 
master's footsteps.  Spend, spend, spend, spend!  Really great and wise. 
Amazing that you defend this sort of stupidity!  
  Bush's last budget would have boosted the deficit by $131 billion 
dollars in one year!  Is this what you want? But... But.. This is exactly 
what Reagan did!  Spent, and spent, and spent!  This right here is the 
heart of Reaganomics.  Mad spending, Keynsian economics gone totally mad!
Bush did not abandon Reaganomics in the very least.  He did exactly what 
Reagan did for 8 long years.  Spent us into tremendous debts.

Tell that to the citizens of New York City who take the subway to and from
work each day.  I think that public transit will work if it is more
convenient than driving; this is the key.  If your city suffers from
constant gridlock, you will use a subway or light rail system if such is
available.  Alternative fuels and electric vehicles won't do a thing to
fight traffic congestion.  I don't know what the traffic is like in San
Antonio, but I'm living in LA, and the highways are hell.  I'd gladly use
public transportation if there were a decent system here.

I worked in the Tokyo area over this past summer, and made extensive use of
the rail and subway systems there; there is really nowhere in the city you
can't go by hopping on a subway and walking for maybe ten minutes.  The
roads are much slower.  Most of the Japanese I knew had cars, but they only
used them when neccessary, such as when they had to take a lot of stuff
with them.

Public transportation is really essential for large urban areas like
NYC, LA, or my home town, Seattle.  We just can't afford the space for
everyone to get where they are going by car.  A person sitting on a train
takes much less space than a car.

Hardly sounds like he's urging them to soften their position; more like
he wants them to sweep the issue under the rug.  That's consistent with
the George and Dan campaign style.

The San Jose Mercury News and the San Francisco Examiner independently
reported that the Oregon Republican Party is on the verge of a nasty
internal schism.  The issue is not abortion, but homosexuality.  The
guy who spearheaded Oregon Proposition 9, which would have mandated
that homosexuality is perverted and that gays may be discriminated
against because they deserve it, is trying to take over the Party.
The current head is ready to encourage moderates to form another
Party, because he senses he's going to lose to the Radical Right.
PS the measure failed, but had majorities in 21 of Oregon's 36 counties.

So maybe Dan could not disagree more, but once again, he's living
in an alternate universe.  Either he hasn't noticed the Religious
Right has taken over the Republican Party local groups in a lot
of states, or he doesn't see this as leading to a problem.

Maybe someone can find us a full transcript.
