The Yooper War
Times were good for the man in the Oval Office until three student radicals from Finlandia University and one resident nerd from Michigan Tech seek his support in making Michigan’s Upper Peninsula the fifty-first state. They give the President an ultimatum to support their cause or the Yoopers (as the U.P. residents refer to themselves) will throw the coming election. When the President refuses, they hijack a truckload of his turkeys. Walter Brainthorpe, the truck driver, is stripped naked, drenched in molasses, and covered with feathers. The newspapers have a field day at the President’s expense, while Walter Brainthorpe makes the talk-show rounds.
To make matters worse, the White House plumbing mysteriously becomes constipated and refuses to function, twelve hundred and twenty-four of the abducted turkeys find their way to the White House lawn tripping numerous security sensors, and Washington D.C. becomes infested with Amorous Spotted Slugs. Still the President refuses to capitulate. (Pharaoh needed ten plagues.)
The final straw occurs when President Schroeder receives irrefutable evidence from the CIA that Finland has Weapons of Mass Destruction and intends to turn the Upper Peninsula into a Finnish colony. He is left with no alternative—he must declare war on the U.P.!
