6 November 2000 - campaign slogans

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Mighty herds of campaign slogans once stampeded across the vast American election season. Today, this majestic species is in danger of extinction. Even Clinton’s “It’s the techno-bio-astrogeophysico-socioeconomic system, stupid!” wasn’t an official slogan. Zoo breeding may be the last hope. Examine these hybrid specimens:

- Tip a canoe and change horses in midstream too.
- Perspicacity is just around the corner.
- Three cars in every garage! No, six! And two children in every pot! I mean, pot for every chicken!
- I’m bored as hell and I won’t take it any more. Hand me the remote.
