The tone and subject matter are very different, but the story makes me think of one of my favorite protest songs:

Sadly, the Dubya era now seems much kinder and gentler than it did at the time the song was written.

Heh. Irony,

Then again I have to keep reminding myself that the 1980s were not as cool to live through as some of the online comments made on YouTube by people too young to remember those years would make you think.
