Satire: "Surviving the Reagan/Bush Repression", Part 2

Satire: "How to Survive the Reagan/Bush Re/Pression", Part 2

       Mint your lint: Save, buy, sell, beg, borrow or steal all the multi-purpose lint you can get your hands on. That's right, lowly but versatile lint, the residue that remains when your laundry is done or that sometimes clings to one's belly button. Lint can be woven into blankets, clothing, tents, textiles, etc. It can even conceivably be used to trap small oft overlooked game, such as squirrels, essential to the diet of anyone whose unemployment benefits have been severed by overpaid Congressmen. Lint can also be used as tinder, or while ablaze can conceivably keep one warm on cold nights, while the government does the same with their uncleared checks after they foreclose on public housing. Finally, lint can perhaps be sewn into a noose for all the fallen politicians.
                                             How do you like your Roadkill?
       Start thinking up recipes for roadkill. Up to now, freshly killed Street Pizza has been largely overlooked for its tangible nutritional value. With George Herbert Walker Bush still in office beyond 1992, look forward to BBQ'd roadkill, roadkill soup, roadkill stew, and even roadkill pie a la mode. Perhaps the next big business will be Freeze-dried Roadkill. I'm also sure that Street Pizza could be very marketable on the Black Market. Man am I getting hungry. If you say yes to George Bush in November, you may be saying yes to years of eating roadkill, or perhaps for your neighbors and friends having to eat Street Pizza for the length of his time in office. After all, with his policies your pretty much on your own... (to be cont'd)
