The Good Life
Things are looking up all over: Unemployment and the trade deficit continue to decline; our allies are assuming more of NATO’s defense costs; the national debt can safely be paid off with the Social Security fund merely by raising the retirement age to 71; there’s perestroika in Petrograd; AIDS immunization shows promise; student drug use declines; my Padres win 9 of their last 12; and now that I’m 87 they’re going to put expiration dates on condoms! Who could ask for anything more?
