For Obama to "boldly go", we have a humorous take on the analogy made by leftie NY Times Maureen Dowd to Star Trek. You'll like it if you can play it with your operating system (try different video quality settings and let it buffer and load), especially the riff about creating "mo-rons" through the destruction of matter. Can't top the whole rationale for why intellectuals like Spock/O can't be placed in the executive chair.
