- I'm saying that the likelyhood of Dan Quayle's being a
- deserving and competent holder of the second-highest
- executive office in the United States Government is
- lower than the probability that you will renounce God
- and kiss me on the Mystery Leptons.
-
- Dan Quayle's faith in a wet Mars is on par with your faith
- in a benevolent diety; it's mythical, and not deserving of
- a slot on the "Why We Fly A Man To Mars" decisionmaking
- checklist.
-
- I bet Dan thinks Ben Franklin discovered electricity.
