Default Is NASA a US "Defence Agency"?

Because Dan Quayle didn't know the difference between Mars and a
potato!



One time I watched Quayle give a rare interview with a
childrens show, some eleven year old girl
got ten minutes of Q and A with him.

It was astonishing, she chose abortion to quiz Quayle
on, and she just tore him up one side and down
the other.

After several minutes of berating him with all kinds of specific
examples where abortion should be allowed, she finally
cornered him on the issue of banning abortions
even for rape, and his response....

"You're a very strong woman... Though this would be a
traumatic experience that you would never forget, I think
that you would be very successful in life."

Strong woman? I remember thinking he only said that
because of how clearly he lost the debate with the
....little girl.







He even sent his legislative liaison to the Hill to
lobby against it.


And Bush and Quayle let him? Gee, I guess JFK was lucky Webb liked the
Apollo proposal rather than kill IT like Truly killed SEI.

(Yeah, you make about that much sense).
