Need A Quote From Franken's "Lies"
Greetings,

I need a quote from Al Franken's "Lies." Sadly, I gave my copy to a friend and have no access to it.

Can one of you type the quote--word for word--about the Malawi space programme? I need the whole sentence. It was one of the three funniest lines in the book and I want to start using it!

3. Page 345
Second paragraph:

"This turned out to be about as plausible as the Malawi space program, which consists of a bucket and one man's dreams."

5. What was it referring to?
That line had me cracking up but I forgot what it was in reference to.
