Blair to Lead Mars Simulation

Blair has been in talks with the White House about becoming a Middle East envoy. I can reveal, however, that he has already accepted a much more demanding post. He is to head the team that will simulate a trip to Mars. Though he is over 50, he does not smoke, drink heavily or take illicit drugs and he definitely needs to get away. Cherie is said to be incandescent.

    Incandescent in the sense presumably of "emitting light as a result of being heated". Sentance may not be casually linked to those which preceeded it. Interesting titbit though...

    Two worthy potential endeavours for a man of such talent, but I fear his spin doctors will grab ahold of this and he'll end up doing a simulated trip to the Middle East.

    you tried, but it is clear that the idea of Blair being a middle east envoy is beyond parody.

    Unless he is maybe going as one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

    I know, Unslicker, it's such a weird idea. I suppose to the hardline neocons, he seems like a useful softy.

    I believe that Cherie fluoresces gently if you stimulate her in the right manner.

    I like the comment in the mars-trip article that "With the exception of weightlessness and radiation, the crew will experience most other aspects of long-haul space travel." In other words, with the exception of the most important distinguishing aspects of long-haul space travel...

    I'm told that, once airborne, Blair has agreed to perform a duet with Elton John via satellite. "Rocket Man," of course.
