Never fear.

Reagan and Bush left us a rich legacy.

You are correct.  I, of all people, totally missed the sarcasm.
This was a stroke of the most blantant idiocy on my part, for
which I (and not the Democratic-controlled Congress) take
full responsibility.  The only possible explanation is that
I heard so much blather during the RepubliCon convention
that sounded like subtle sarcasm, but was really meant to
be taken seriously.

A few more mistakes like this and I will be qualified
to run for national political office.  I never
could spell very well ...

Now, back to you, Dan ...

dangerous a fool as you will find in the Congress.  Watch this guy.  He 
is creepy in a special way that only old time Phil Gramm watchers can

  Old Washington joke.  What's the most dangerous place in Washington D.

  He will be running in 96.  He is an expert at gathering huge amounts of 
money.  He is shameless. He may be the Reagan of the late 90's.

Just remember, if George and Dano can take credit for toppling communism in
Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, disregarding the efforts of the folks who
live in those countries, then they should accept the responsibility for the
screw-ups of the federal agencies handling the relief effort.

But, then, we really don't expect Bush to assume responsibility for a screw-up,
do we?  Maybe he can blame it on Dano.  Or maybe Dano can get Marilyn to
explain it to me...

Much as I hate to add to the overblown 'potatoe' fury, I couldnt help

is a bin for donations of canned and dry goods to the local food bank.

One of the things they suggest you donate is "Tomatoe sauce"

"Canned Vegitables" is another suggested donation.

I guess these guys qualify for the 1000 pts of light on two counts: not 
only do they help feed the poor, they also make dq look normal.....

Dan can't even spell potato. 

The news teams had a field day when they found out about that one.

A lot of satirical comedy shows send him up as being useless, and

I just find it funny that they talk about family values when the

Wait a second, I thought bovine encephelitus was a disease specific to
Republicans and caused by a brain tumor caused by inbreeding within a
multi-millionaire circle. But I hear it is a particular danger to mosquitoes,
since the disease makes the blood unsuitable for consumption.

But who in the Republican party has a more nationally-known name than ....

 ..... Our man Dan !!!!

There may be hope for this group yet: imagine, Dan Quayle, the perennial
losing politician. First, he gets creamed in the 1996 Republican presidential
primaries. Then he gets picked as a VP, loses again. Runs for Senate in 1998
or 2000, loses again. We here among the "cultural elite" (I guess that's who
we must be, since we mock Quayle so much) will watch the increasingly
publicized failures with increasing jollity, as Dan spirals downwards,
eventually failing even to get his old job back as an assistant attorney
general in Indiana and has to settle for some kind of completely non-
functional position in the Pulliam newspaper chain. Even then, the press
will still follow his various failed attempts to strike out in new
directions. His gaffes will adorn the "People" pages of major newspapers
and the covers of supermarket tabloids even into the second and third decades
of the 21st century.

I agree that attacking the family of the candidate is infantile.  It is a sign
that you have nothing of any substance to talk about -- so attack the 
family instead.  Ahhhhh, the strategy of the RePUKE-icans exactly.  When your
