Some of the Younger People Here Need a History Lesson

Some of the Younger People Here Need a History Lesson
One of TheOnion's most prescient articles.  Enjoy.... but also learn.

http://www.theonion.com/article/bush-our...d-pros-464



Quote:WASHINGTON, DC–Mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of Bill Clinton, president-elect George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that "our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over."

"My fellow Americans," Bush said, "at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us."

Fuckers are a hell of a lot more accurate than that shitty bible.

LOL! I love The Onion.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Apparently Steven is including the superdelegates too, for some reason.

Though you kind of have to remember that Steven is a satirist. You're not supposed to take what he says seriously.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
