Please offer your own suggestions for additional Original Trek imagery that ought to be incorporated into the Obama campaign (and, no, references to "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" are not welcome). 0 Comments: ...

I'm over doing headlines and such at TFR. Found this that's pretty cool - Hi Def trailer for Fast and Furious 2009. Worth it for the vid quality even if it isn't your thing. Fausta has a tasty bit of a post on the whole Obama Invesco investiture deal. What is there to say about that really? My only concern is that they change it up at the last minute and scale it down some way. As a normal, non-Obamawonamaniac ... it simply boggles the mind trying to understand where they are coming from. Clearly there is a gross detachment from the thinking of ...

Don't get me wrong, loved the first two seasons growing up, have all of Diane Duane's ST books - but this isn't really the mood that I presume that the Obama campaign wants to present. Particularly since McCain's going with that entire BSG 2.0 vibe. Anyway, first we had the Space Hippies: ...and now we have to ask, "Who Mourns for Adonis?" ...um, not me? Read up a ...
