Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over

by ·

RobotWisdom pointed out that this Onion piece from wayback was weirdly prophetic:

George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that “our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.” … Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years … Once again, we will enjoy mounting debt, jingoism, nuclear paranoia, mass deficit, and a massive military build-up.”
