As for Quayle, he made the mistake of overriding his own strong instincts and trusting the wrong spelling as printed on a flashcard given to him as part of an event hosted by a public school. He made the mistake of assuming that a place of learning would have gotten this right, and what’s more, gone the extra mile to get every detail right for a visit from the Vice President, and thus set aside his own strong doubts. I find it fascinating that in the torrent of orchestrated derision that was unleashed on him immediately afterward and to this day, ZERO mention is ever made of the scandal that is such woeful ineptitude from the school.

Hey, two days out of the year we can give it a rest.

Happy Thanksgiving.

The country with one of the biggest overeating / overweight problem gets ready to sit on their duffs all day to watch their electricity pigs of 50″ HDTV’s and stuff themselves with hormone injected turkey, potato chips (Potatoe chips if you are in Dan Quayle’s house to wathc the games) and weak beer while watching the epitome of socialism (revenue sharing / salary caps), the NFL games.

And then this is followed up on the 2nd day with a journey to WalMart to max out your credit cards, buying Chinese made stuff that you do not need nor can your afford.

Way to go USA! Help out China all that you can.
