Osama bin Laden in Western clothes? That's only the first step.
CNN reports that the Pentagon dropped propaganda leaflets on Afghanistan depicting Osama bin Laden wearing a tacky Western suit and tie. The image is supposed to encourage al Qaeda fighters to surrender, since, the logic goes, their leader has abandoned them to Western values.
But if they really want to make him look like a dip-shit -- a seedy doofus more interested in hustling Vegas strippers than promulgating a holy jihad -- they should take a tip from the master....

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done.
