->''"[I]f you went by what they said this week, here's how the history of America went down. Okay, [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution first the Founding Fathers]] -- you know, the original [[AtrociousAlias "teabaggers"]] -- they got the Constitution directly from Jesus. Then the first Republican president, UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln, freed the slaves. [[SarcasmMode And the Republican Party, to this very day, has never stopped fighting for the black man.]]''

->''[[EpicFail Except that Romney and Ryan are now polling at zero. Zero percent among blacks.]] They couldn't get a black guy to vote for them if they gave him a Lincoln. And Mitt Romney may yet try that.''

->''And then came, of course, [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Saint Reagan]]. Who was the innovator of the Republican Party's greatest power, [[EasyAmnesia the ability to completely forget]].''

->''So, I'm just asking, how can we trust Republicans with the future when, as far as I can tell from Tampa, the world ended the year Reagan left office. Like, in 1988, we just all fell into a deep sleep listening to [[Music/DefLeppard "Pour Some Sugar on Me"]] and we woke up on Monday morning, [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Obama]] and his Negro army had wrecked the joint."''

->What if my bones were in a museum,\\
Where aliens paid good money to see em?\\
And suppose that they'd put me together all wrong,\\
Sticking bones on to bones where they didn't belong!\\
\\
Imagine phalanges, pelvis, and spine\\
Welded to mandibles that once had been mine!\\
With each misassembled, the error compounded,\\
The aliens would draw back in terror astounded!\\
\\
Their textbooks would show me in grim illustration,\\
The most hideous thing ever seen in creation!\\
The museum would commission a model in plaster\\
Of ME, to be called, "Evolution's Disaster"!\\
\\
And paleontologists there would debate\\
Dozens of theories to help postulate.\\
How man survived for those thousands of years\\
With teeth covered arms growing out of his ears!\\
\\
Oh, I hope that I'm never in such manner displayed,\\
No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.
-->-[[CalvinAndHobbes Bill Waterson]].
