Dan Quayle ..... how infrequently someone quotes him! I'm impressed that you are even aware of him. :-) http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/9788 I live 40 miles from his hometown where he went to high school and the museum that is named after him ( see link ). I never never been to the museum, probably never will, and I can spell potato without an "e" at the end. :-) For some reason that I cannot explain; Many people in Huntington are quite sure that they are superior to everyone else on the planet. So Dan Quayle went to school in the proper location to learn the fine art of grandstanding. Ironically, Huntington is in the middle of nowhere Indiana. Even the major local state road (9) bypasses the city and the city population has dropped over the last 10 years. Dan Quayle no longer lives there. I drive by Huntington a couple of times per month via the bypass. :-) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
