Retro-Crazed Youths Re-Elect Carter

WASHINGTON, DC—A massive turnout of ’70s-obsessed youths is being blamed for Jimmy Carter’s surprise victory in Tuesday’s presidential election. According to election officials, polling places were overrun with millions of 18- to 23-year-olds wearing Charlie’s Angels T-shirts and carrying Scooby Doo lunchboxes. “The ’70s were so cool,” said Michelle Poole, 19, a barrette-wearing, Fisher Price toy-collecting Carter supporter. “It’s like, that old-school Carter Administration shit rocked.” According to Carter spokesman Edward Rowell, “President-Elect Carter will do his best to serve the mandate of ’70s retro culture. He will boycott the Olympic Games, try to create another energy crisis and appoint many well-known ’70s TV personalities, including Fred Berry and Gabe Kaplan, to top Cabinet posts.”
