Captain's Log, Earth-year 2816:

AP- While estimates of the size of the anti-Iraq war protest parade were incomplete, organizers were pleased with what they described as "a large turnout". Protest organizers, who were all protest novices and mostly disillusioned former Bush supporters, also noted that the protest's turnout was aided by the new, mobile anti-Rovian mind ray suits. The suits allowed them to think clearly and objectively about the Iraq war without interference from Karl Rove, who is likely to be indicted for destroying the CIA this week.

Meanwhile, inside the beltway...

We've come a long way sice Abbey Road. The invisible one is Paul.

Just another Tuesday in Mosul (in the alternate universe where Saddam was not deposed).

SOCOM has its own "road to Damascus" moment.

But when they told me 'bout this side of the bargain, that's when I knew that I could not refuse, and I won't get any older now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

2012: "Anthrax ripple" ceases to be a Monty Python joke.

Ebolapalozza!

Oh no, not another Stephen King novel.

Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe and a Cat 3 Hazmat suit...

"Is anybody else's suit riding up a little in the crotch or is it just me?"

Damnit, I told you colonizing Mars was a bad idea.

But otherwise, it was a remarkably accurate portrayal of events.

Napoli desperately tries to keep up with Milan in fashion.

The last three self-proclaimed "true" conservatives shunned all further human contact after Harriet Miers was confirmed with more Democratic than Republican votes. Fortunately, no one missed Pat Buchanan, George Will or Ann Coulter all that much.
