Satire: "How to Survive the Reagan/Bush Re/Pression"

Satire: "How to Survive the Reagan/Bush Repression" Part 1   [Originally published in Eastern Connecticut State University's April Fool's edition of  "The Campus Lantern"  April 1, 1992 as 'Snide Remarks'; also part of the unpublished manuscript "In Mediocrity We Trust, In Debt We Die"]

       In 1988, Bruce Springsteen said, during concerts: "Don't you vote for that F#^*in' George Bush". You didn't listen. I apologize for those of you who did not vote for Bush back then, but plenty of folks fooled by Ronald Reagan for eight years were equally fooled by George Bush. Now, it appears possible that Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dim [Bush and Quayle; Reagan was Tweedle Dum] may very well get re-elected... Thus, we all better start preparing for the next  Great Re/Pression (Recession/Depression).

       Keep in mind, there are some exquisite diamonds, gold and gems, among other things, but there are few or no exquisite politicians or leaders, especially in the Reagan/Bush administrations. 

       There are three main rules for surviving the Reagan/Bush Re/Pression:

                     I: If it's free it's for me

                     II: If it costs then get lost!

                   III: If it's cheap it's to keep.     [To be cont'd]
