You don't spell it right, it's spelled "aluminium"

Now if you picked on why on earth "lieutenant" is supposedly pronounced "leftenant", I'd have to agree with you

"...then scrap that law!"

--- allegedly stated by a former president of our republic when told that the reason for the then current economic downfall was due to the Law of Supply and Demand.

...and you thought that Mr. Qu@yle is a smart guy, eh?

I've got a bunch of Quayle quotes on another one of those quote pages, here.

I think one of my favorites, which I never posted before, was his reaction to Machiavelli's The Prince, as reported in an Esquire article:

"I've tried to figure out where I am. I know I'm not the first because I don't think I have the creativeness that Machiavelli talks about. If I go back and reread it I might figure it out exactly where I put myself. I'm somewhere between two and one."

Naturally the common people don't want war ... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along ... All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

Hermann Goering, 1936

While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.
