J.Tupesis (pie frakcijām nepiederošs deputāts; LR 5. Saeimas ārkārtas sēdē 1995.gada 22.februārī).
– Mēs visi zinām, ka Latvijā mēs varam braukt uz kuru katru debespusi, un es jums atradīšu, ja jūs paši nevarat, vēlētājus, kuri tāpat nav lietas kursā, politiskā lietas kursā, par to, kas notiek Latvijā. Tātad ir Latvijā tādi, kas zina un kas nezina, un arī ārzemēs ir tādi, kas zina un kas nezina.
diezgan precīzi 7 gadus vēlāk, ārzemēs, biedrs Ramsfelds nāk klajā ar slaveno neōgnostiķa neōliberālo grēksūdzi:
Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.
ko es šodien brīvvalstī uzzināju no pēdējā Džōharija loga:
U.S. President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld may not all get a library, airport or highway named after them. But each has a slime-mold beetle named in his honor. Bush thanks entomologist.
Two former Cornell University entomologists who recently had the job of naming 65 new species of slime-mold beetles named three species that are new to science in the genus Agathidium for members of the U.S. administration. They are A. bush, A. cheneyi and A. rumsfeldi.
The entomologists also named some of the new species after their wives and a former wife, Pocahontas, Hernan Cortez, the Aztecs, the fictional "Star Wars" villain Darth Vader ("who shares with A. vaderi a broad, shiny, helmetlike head"), Frances Fawcett (their scientific illustrator) and the Greek words for "ugly" and "having prominent teeth" and the Latin word for "strange."

Slime-mold beetle. hmm, latviski tas nav pat sūdbambelcebuls. Gļotainā pelējuma vabuļs kaukāds. bet tak jau zvēriņš. diezgan amizants.
