I think that has been a running bad joke for Maryland -
I have Good news and Bad news - the Good news is you are going
to get another House seat; the bad news is that DC comes with it.

I have thought of a way for george Bush to Guarentee to be re-elected:
If you don't vote for me I will resign after the election and
make Dan Quayle President of the United States until Inauguration!

(This is perfectly legal by the way)
