Mike: Hmm...doesn't look good for the economy... Mike's brother: What's that you're reading, bro? Mike: A newspaper. Mike's brother: Oh, wow. So that's a newspaper! Woman: What are you and your friends saying about Bush now, dear? Boy: Who? Man: Typical. How pathetic. Mark: Hey, twenty-somethings! Is that you-always uninformed 'cause you don't read the papers? Stop embarassing yourself around your elders! Catch up with my special primer on the big issues of today! Let's start with the Cold War, okay? Here's the deal-it's over, and we won! In South Africa on the other hand, folks still don't get along! Keep an eye on Mandela--he's key! The mid-east crisis-the Jews and Arabs have been killing each other over this godforsaken real estate for centuries! They still are. Domestically, there's the S&L crisis! Hard to grasp, but for those Americans who can still count, it's going to cost about $500 billion! And then there's your president! He had only one conviction-no taxes-but now he has none! With George Bush, you ain't seen nothin' yet-nor will you! Well, that's it! A big-issue roundup! Read 'em again and you'll be ready to hit the dinner table! Good luck! Boy: Hey, dad! I know who Greg Bush is! Man: No, you don't.
