2. The Onion- Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over
Thu Apr 2, 2026, 10:24 AM
Thursday



Bush swore to do “everything in [his] power” to undo the damage wrought by Clinton’s two terms in office, including selling off the national parks to developers, going into massive debt to develop expensive and impractical weapons technologies, and passing sweeping budget cuts that drive the mentally ill out of hospitals and onto the street.

During the 40-minute speech, 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.

I recall seeing this in the print edition and I still think of it from time to time.
