|Shortly after the November election, there was a rather drawn out discussion
|of Vice-President Elect Dan Qualye's stand on the civilian space program.
|Unfortunately, no one seemed to have any concrete information on Qualye's
|position.  I recently came across an article which makes him look like a 
|promising chairman of the National Space Council.

[... excerpt deleted ...]

|Of course, Quayle cannot be judged on one article, but he looks very promising.
|I suggest those who have criticized Quayle read this article before sounding
|off again.

Better yet, find out which member(s) of his staff actually wrote the article,
and whether or not they followed him into his new job.

I mean, you can't actually believe this doofus could have strung that many
words together consecutively to form a coherent >paragraph<, much less a whole
article.

Or are you really that unaware of how these things are produced?

Now, if those staffers have influence upon the output of the Council, (and the
COuncil actually manages to obtain the President's ear, and he manages to 
convince Congress, etcetera, etcetera, down to the last flea) there
may be some hope...
