Ken MacLeod puts the 1066 and All That spin on recent history.

The outcome of this was the Restoration of Capitalism, which was a Good Thing. Francis Fukayama wrote that it meant the End of History. The whole world would become like Switzerland, because people no longer had anything important to fight over. Saddam Hussein read this in April, and misunderstood it, so he invaded Kuwait, which is like Switzerland, except that it is flat and sandy and it has votes for women. A great Collision had to brought together to drive him out. In the end his troops surrendered to CNN and were killed by the Collision, on the Highway of Death.

Ken’s archives aren’t working, so look under May 18th.
