Men in Charge

Roger Basement sits down with Ernst Stavro Blofeld to talk about pesky Secret Service agents and lucky luge escapes.

The combined crews on the rocket ship Vanguard are having further difficulty sharing quarters, especially Drs. Dankmeme and Springbok, and even more especially, Sparky McClean and Gretchen Munch, ambitious space journalists. Also fretful are those made uneasy by the new chain of command...

His name: Yakov Alexandrovich Turgenev. He's a Russian Parking Attendant, czar of all the parking slots, the man who decides where, and if, you can park in his lot. And he is a force for Good in today's United States of Parking.

Cadet Neddy injures himself moving Dr. Dankmeme's belongings into Dr. Springbok's cabin, and Lt. Commander Fawna receives some very disappointing news from Commander Train!

Proclaim it from the heights of the world and from all mobile helipads and pool decks! (but just keep your voice down, please) The International Headache Society is meeting in a dim room near you!

Because of the mysterious scuttling of the Knausgaard, Commander Train summons both crews to a meeting on the Vanguard, where she offends the two crews—deeply—by ordering them to share quarters. Outrageous!

It's Sabbath Mode—for everything! The possibilities for technically violating your religion's commandments are limitless!

After the scuttling of the rocket ship Knausgaard, fraudulent Martian Ambassador to Earth faces the space media to explain that none of it was his fault, but soon the Moon Guards show up to collect him for "Round up Aliens Day"!

Not all Old Testament prophets are lucky enough to see that wheel in the sky that keeps on turnin’!

During the holiday season, we're all asking the same question: "Where does the mafia-style corruption end and the winning begin?" MPR reporter Charlene "Charlie" Heavers penetrates the White House to get answers and another helping of crusty bread and giardiniera.
