I realize my post earlier today was a bit of a downer, but what can I say? Lately, there doesn't seem to be much good news on the ever-growing front in the war against quackery. However, in researching that piece I did come across something that made me smile. I found the campaign website for what to me appears to be the perfect embodiment of politics these days, for a leader who represents an exact fit with the mood of the times:

So Hillary Clinton came to my town today. She packed the local high school gym and brought with her a phalanx of television cameras, hordes of reporters and a hefty dose of political celebrity. (The doors opened at 1:15, and the gym was filled to capacity by 1:30.)

How about one of those electric-toolkits-in a cyberarm gimmicks ?
Can we write in Locutus of Borg, or should we also include his

Ha!! I love how when you say "researching that piece", what you actually mean is "putting 'Locutus Borg' into Google Images", lol.
On a serious note though, wasn't Picard/Locutus born in La Barre, France, making him/it thus ineligible for nomination?
