Recently, there have been too many downer stories.

The auto-quote today came from Hubert Humphrey: "Never give in and never give up."

Which of course triggered my memories of the movie Galaxy Quest:

Sir Alexander Dane (Alan Rickman): "By Grabthar's hammer, by the sons of Worvan, you shall be avenged."

Gwen DeMarco (Sigourney): "Fred, you had a part people loved. I mean, my TV Guide interview was six paragraphs about my BOOBS and how they fit into my suit. No one bothered to ask me what I do on the show."

- Fred Kawn (Tony Shalhoub, "Monk" on TV) : "You were... umm, wait... "

- Gwen: "I repeated the computer, Fred."
