Play Ball!
(Fiction, Satire) "It's a perfect summer day here at Orioles Park at Camden Yards in beautiful downtown Baltimore, sunny and clear, not a cloud in the sky, with a pleasant breeze blowing through the stadium, outstanding weather for a ballgame..." that is as long as you don't let news of an impending tsunami spoil the day.

Obituaries of Note
We're all of us slouching toward the Inevitable - a.k.a. the Big Sleep, the Big Chill, the Big Plotz, the Final Upload - and if you happen to be someone notable, all those years will boil down to a few short paragraphs in a newspaper column buried in the back pages. Maybe these obits might give you a few laughs or even provide some insight into the one thing we all have in common and can't do anything about: Our exit strategy.

W's Conscience Speaks-Finally!
George W. is bored, and who can blame him? "After the presidency everything else is such a let down. What can top hobnobbing with heads of state, talking on TV to the whole nation, ordering the Pentagon to invade another country and thousands of soldiers cheering and saluting you?"
But George is about to meet a new friend, someone who has been waiting a very long time to make his acquaintance: His conscience.

For a longer perspective on this phenomenon, renowned psychic Mary Anne Tussle used her inner vision to see what may lie ahead. She reports that You Lose!- a game show that already exists in the ethers - will likely be on the airwaves within ten years.

Recently discovered documents from the personal archives of Sir H. R. Trumpleflush, Nobel Laureate for History, have utterly stunned contemporary historians as to the true causes of WW II.
