It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Ghastly for you, I think for most Republicans there are some good and exciting options. Then, most Republicans aren't gay, black and looking forward to living in Europe.

I can't speak for most Republicans, but FWIW, so far I'm not impressed with any of the choices, either.

You are right.  He's such a non-entity I forgot all about him.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Dan Quayle was the stereotypical vice-president.  The only time he appeared in the news was when he was embarassing the administration.  But he was a young gun foisted on Bush by the party, who thought he was some sort of star, and he would represent the conservative wing of the party.  Unfortunately, like most conservative Republicans, he was a bit of a fuckup.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

My understanding is Bush handpicked Quayle because he thought he was a young man who would benefit from his mentoring.

So far I like Walker and Bush well enough but it's early yet and they have lots of time to show more of what they're like. Some of the others may speak well, such as Dr Carson but I don't see him getting anywhere in the rough and tumble of a primary campaign.

Is there supposed to be some kind of scale? $300 doesn't sound very newsworthy.
