More Rizzoids?*
If these quotes are accurate, at least we'll have comic relief during the
Presidential campaign. Take your time reading, the quotes can cause mental
meltdown.

Recently, Dan Quayle announced his intentions to run for President of the
U.S. in 2000. Since the average attention span in the U.S. is about as long
as the average sitcom, and since many younger voters may not have been
watching the news when these were said the first time, we provide you with
this list of famous Quayle quotes.
Please spread these to as many people was you can, so that we might stop
this lunacy before it gets out of hand. Thanks, and enjoy.
