- No, Jen. Both you and dan quayle are light-weights who hold politically
- outmoded opinions and justify those opinions with "That's just the way it
- is." Obviously a throwback to the religious "faith" arguements.
- As for taking things out of context... there is no need when dan quayle speaks.
- "...ah but don't you believe them"

- Another FreeFact: All the rest of the people in the world polled agreed that
- anyone seeking the office of President (or Vice-President) or responds
- to lame radio polls have no life, no brain and needn't be heeded as anything
- they say will invariably be greeted by a groan and taken with a grain of salt.

- resting firmly on the eyelid and having to deal with 20/100 vision through that
- eye for most of the day.
