College students learn to deal with Bush reelection

Recent college graduates Andrew McMeel and Sarah Devers are not happy about the recent reelection of George W. Bush. Instead of moping through the next four years and pinning their hopes on, say, Hillary Rodham Clinton or John Edwards, McMeel and Devers have developed a coping plan.

"Sarah and I knew that the next four years would be utter hell," said McMeel, "So we decided that we're just going to get completely fucked up."

"We're hoping that if we drink enough and smoke enough pot that we won't be able to remember these next four years," said Devers. "I mean, in a drunken stupor is it really going to matter if the US revokes the statehood of Massachusetts because they let gays marry?"

Both McMeel and Devers insist that their plan won't lead to alcoholism or more addictive drugs. "It's only four years," said Devers.

McMeel concurred, "Yeah, we'll can quit anytime that Bush is impeached."

Devers began to giggle uncontrollably while McMeel reached for the potato chips.
