Whether you consider yourself a RINO or not (and whether you like RINOs or not) if you like Science Fiction, you'll LOVE this week's Raging RINOs Carnival. Excerpt from host AJ Strata:

Originally the plan was to have Commissar’s team hide in plain site as lower creatures, called ‘animals’ on Earth. That way they could watch the dominant life forms, homo sapiens - also known as ‘humans‘, close up and undetected. While they were able to monitor the humans without any hint of trouble intitially, it did not last for long. One of the team members, a Zendilian named Zokilly, decided to take the form of a human and partake in one of the more popular human rituals called ’spring break’.

This turned out to be an utter disaster. Zokilly had not been aware of the intoxicating effects of ‘booze’ on his species. It took no time before he began blurting out all sorts of details on Commissar’s team and what they were doing. Thankfully the humans Zokilly had been traveling with were also pretty intoxicated for the 72 hours Zokilly was ‘off-mission’. The only thing that came of this breach in security was that one of the humans began to write a science fiction story about aliens coming to earth and taking the form of animals. Later it actually became somewhat popular, though at the time it nearly ended Commissar’s mission.

Go read the whole thing.
