Thanks for the link. I was watching an old Laugh-In “best of” show the other night. They had on “News from the Future”. Back to back they had:

1989: Berlin Wall is torn down. Replaced with a moat.

Here’s the Laugh-In link. And my mistake, they say President Reagan will not be running for governor!
