Know Thyself through 1980’s POLITICAL satire:
I saw an old SNL Weekend Update from 1988. Dennis Miller was solo at the desk with a banging mullet and making snarky jokes per the upcoming 1988 Presidential election between George Bush (senior) and Michael Dukakis. One particular quip struck me as timely:
‘You know I don’t even think the Presidential system works anymore, I’m advocating a new system, the volleyball-tocracy, we elect six men, one of them serves until he screws up, they rotate, and somebody else takes it for awhile.’
I know this was said in 1988, but not bad….six guys trying to one up each other, probably better checks and balances than we have right now, no? Thoughts?
