I could rail about the primary results last night (Ohio, a good place to be from, has shown yet again its inherent inability to select between better and worse – but I digress.) I could talk about the scary notion that Bush is trying to find some positive legacy by driving for a peace plan in the middle east in 10 months. I could talk about the bill coming due for the US (we import more than we export, we spend more than we make, our currency is being massively devalued, hyper inflation is right around the corner – sounds like a third world economy, doesn’t it?)
But in the spirit of and following the lead of other large media outlets, instead I choose to bring you a distraction from that boring stuff. I saw this clip this morning on Greta Christina’s blog and laughed my hind-end off. The sad part, truly sad, is that I recognize each of these scenes. Now, for those of you who simply cannot live without seeing Star Trek cut to Monty Python’s “Knights of the Round Table”, here’s your chance. It’s short, it’s brilliant, and I love it. Hat’s off to the creators, T.Jones and Killa. Between this and the ode to Gary Gygax post, my true freaky geeky colors are showing this week…

Hey; your Ohio fathers voted for Hillary (OK so one of us actually voted for Ron Paul).
What about an Obama/Clinton ticket?
WSP, don’t care for the notion of that ticket. Hillary would be a good Sec State, but she’s not Presidential material. The fact that she’s now cracked the code to get votes (i.e., run recycled Bush ads) should have people running for the hills. In fact, if Hillary gets the nomination, I have to carefully consider who I would vote for. If it’s Obama, the decision is easy.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the possibility of Bush engineering peace in the Middle East. Better minds than those in his administration haven’t been able to do that. And according to Steve Clemons at The Washington Note, even the Israelis are underwhelmed with the Bushes. Regarging Rice’s recent visit: “According to a source very close to Prime Minister Ehud Ohlmert, she doesn’t even ask questions about the basic positions on each side so as to understand the “gaps” and then to offer ideas.”
To be clear Howard, I’m not at all concerned about an actual solution. I’m concerned that the administration will be busy misunderestimating (their word) the problems and ramming through policies that make the problem worse. If ever there was a George Costanza “do the opposite” kind of president, it’s Bush. Whatever impulse he has, he should do the opposite and we’d have a better success record!
I’m hopeful he just decides to take an extended vacation, it is possible to try to do too much!
In the final analysis, “The City of the Edge of Forever” will have a greater impact on humanity than the Hillary Clintons and Condi Rices of the world. It deserves to. Any cretin can and will occupy political office these days, but Harlan Ellison…his work is timeless.
