IN THE NEWS.

Police were called again to the Blandville post of the Veterans of Pointless Wars after neighbors reported a fight. According to the police report, an argument over the admission of Sgt. Roland Wellburger escalated into a “brawl.” Sgt. Wellburger is a veteran of the invasion of Grenada, and it appears that members of the VPW post were unable to agree on whether that particular military adventure counted as pointless, or possibly whether it was a war. The exact point of disagreement could not be determined “on account of everybody talking at once.” According to sources at the Bureau of Public Safety, the VPW has a history of such incidents. Records obtained from the VPW national office show that most of the members are veterans of the War on Christmas.
