Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite. Dan Quayle, US VP, head of the Space Council (at the time of the quote).

Does the quote for today make you shake your head and wonder how we got to this point? Well, how about these from George W. Bush:

"I think we agree, the past is over." On his meeting with John McCain, Dallas Morning News, May 10, 2000

"Laura and I really don't realize how bright our children is sometimes until we get an objective analysis." Meet the Press, April 15, 2000

"The senator has got to understand if he's going to have--he can't have it both ways. He can't take the high horse and then claim the low road." To reporters in Florence, S.C., Feb. 17, 2000

"If you're sick and tired of the politics of cynicism and polls and principles, come and join this campaign." Hilton Head, S.C., Feb. 16, 2000

"How do you know if you don't measure if you have a system that simply suckles kids through?" Explaining the need for educational accountability in Beaufort, S.C., Feb. 16, 2000

"We ought to make the pie higher." South Carolina Republican Debate, Feb. 15, 2000

"Will the highways on the Internet become more few?" Concord, N.H., Jan. 29, 2000

"This is Preservation Month. I appreciate preservation. It's what you do when you run for president. You gotta preserve." Speaking during "Perseverance Month" at Fairgrounds Elementary School in Nashua, N.H. As quoted in the Los Angeles Times, Jan. 28, 2000

Had enough yet? Vice President Dan Quayle was like the son George Bush already had.

Don't you dare call me e-Roger. Why I'm resisting the very idea of e-books and taking a stand for real pages, by Roger Ebert.

I got an email from Dr. Kathleen de la Peña McCook, professor and director at the School of Library and Information Science, University of South Florida. The email is a one line link to a paper she prepared for the Professional Concerns Committee of the Congress on Professional Education entitled, Using Ockham's Razor: Cutting to the Center. It is an insightful paper on the future of education for librarianship. In the paper she offers her list of possible candidates for "Patron Saint" of Information Science. The "Patron Saint" might be considered the iconographic symbol of the historical significance and roll of the field of librarianship as it looks to the digital future. The list is arranged chronologically and interestingly the last name on the list is Saint Leibowitz, canonized 3174 AD in the fictional work, A Canticle for Leibowitz. Thanks Dr. McCook.
