Vera Borisovna used to work as a hat check girl at the Tri-Lateral Commission Gym, part of the underground complex known as "Cheney's Bunker" or just "The Bunker". Recently, she joined the ranks of superheroes. As such, she was hired by Richard Perle, aka "The Black Perle" to shake down legislators to pay for his vision of world democracy. Recently, she has begun working as the anchor for the "Superhero News" on CNN. We are privileged that she has agreed to let the Striporama carry her first person accounts of life in the Bunker.

January 26 Dear Computer, Well, they put me into a movie poster. It took about five hundred takes before I actually saved Halliburton. If you ask me, it should be one strike and you're out. January 25 Dear Computer, The Black Perle really let me have it for showing up to work wearing this t-shirt. But he got over it as soon as I squeezed into my superhero costume for the day. January 23 Dear Computer, Thanks to the Black Perle's considerable personal overhead (he just bought himself a new invasion force with studio funds), our studio had to fire its technical staff. Thank goodness, there's a Dean Scream doll which we can use in lieu of footage of his famous Iowa whoop. Besides using it in news reports, we find that squeezing the doll is a good segue to commercial.
