The Daily Vanagon
Vol. 12, Iss. 2
By Correspondent Imbrave Tobehere

Tensions have eased somewhat here in the "United
Federation of Vanagon Owners."  The recent outbreaks
of violence, which left a state of near pandemonium at
the "Alan Adda Research Center for Arthritic Hippies"
has seemingly subsided in recent weeks.  The presence
of an international peace keeping force has been
attributed for the alleged stability.  Yet considering
the force is primarily made up of American and British
troops, it is likely that they are doing very little
to maintain the peace.  Military spokespersons suggest
more effort is being placed on keeping the military
personnel from writing nasty notes to each other on
the walls of the "por-ta-johns."

This apparent cease-fire has done precious little to
quash small pockets of radical nationalism however.
Political debates continue to rage at the Ministry of
the Vanagon Assembly for the Promotion of My Opinions
and Prevention of Yours.  Specifically, the issue of
recent defections by U.F.V.O citizens has brought
lawmakers to a near standstill.  Many have demanded a
new census be taken to ascertain the damage.  Others
have claimed it is of no consequence.  It is suggested
by some that the recent topic of conversation
regarding U.F.V.O. defections was somewhat unnecessary
and only served to re-ignite old flames of
controversy.

Yet all in all, the situation is stable and life goes
on here in…wait, hold on a minute.  This just in!  A
new topic has been started in the streets of the city.
 I can barely make it out, stand by… Okay, it’s
becoming clear now.  It reads, “Air cooled Vanagons
rule, and Wasserboxers are total pieces of cra….”

We apologize, the feed to our correspondent has been
