NATION: The Student Senate today passed a sweeping I
resolution condemning the U.S. military presence in the United
States. "The president is obviously trying to stir something up
with all these troops in the U.S.," said Sen. Wallace Cleaver.
"Who's he trying to kid? All these troops in the U.S. is
tantamount to a secret invasion, an undeclared war. It must
end."
WASHINGTON: Nothing happened in the capital today. Really.
The Reagans were out of town; no one really noticed if the Bushs
were in; and Capitol Hill exploded taking all Congressmen with
it . . .oh well.
WASHINGTON: Capitot Hill was blown up Thursday by a 1
TP group of outraged viewers of this past year's ABC miniseries
Arnerika. They said the show was so realistic that for art's sake
they had to blow up the dome. Art could not be reached for
comment.
ABROAD: A broad was seen walking down the streets of Paris,
prompting feminist groups in the United States to condcmn her
as a "shameless, old-fashioned hussy who brings the women's
movement back about 2,000 years." A male chauvinist pig who
watched the broad said, "Hey, her movements weren't old
fashioned in any way, if you take my meaning ? and I think you
do." The broad, later reached for comment, was discovered to be

MONEY: Five bucks still gets you into a movie in most places
except New York and Chicago, so the dollar hasn't fluctuated
that much, a Treasury Department spokesman said today.

Noriega took a sniper's bullet to chest area where his heart

doctor said. "And since Noriega said the bullet wound only I

SPORTS: Clemson announced it will not have drug testing for
athletes anymore after its little drug scam, but said it will institute
intelligence testing for coaches. "Those blockheads are punting
on first down in spring practice. This must stop," said Xavier
"The Executor" Sessions, Clemson Board of Trustees chairman.
IRS TROUBLE: Peonle damn well better set their tax returns in I
today, an IRS official says, or they're gonna face severe
penalties. "What's all this garbage about April 15? It says right
here on mine 'April 1.5.' So they have to get those tax forms in by
noon, or their butts'll be audited, and I'm a lawnmower." When
