Your Agonizer Please, Mr Kyle

Wednesday @ Salon:

Obama, Jenkins points out, positioned himself in the primaries as a man "at home with both blacks and whites, someone whose mixed racial background has forced him to become a cultural translator." In this sense Obama even surpasses Spock, whose struggle to reconcile his half-human, half-Vulcan genes is a continual source of inner conflict. In one episode, the entire Enterprise crew (except for Kirk) is infected by alien spores that turn them into doe-eyed flower children. The "cure" is anger -- thus Kirk is forced to provoke his first officer to rage. He succeeds, spectacularly, by insulting Spock’s racial pedigree: "All right, you mutinous half-breed! You’re an overgrown jackrabbit! An elf, with a hyperactive thyroid! A simpering, devil-eared freak whose father was a computer and his mother an encyclopedia!"

Today's Maurmeme Dowd column:

Commanding his own unwieldy starship of blended species, with Cheney, Limbaugh and other pitiless Borg aliens firing phasers from all sides, Mr. Obama has certainly invoked Mr. Spock’s Vulcan philosophy of “Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.” And he even recruited some impulsive Rahmulen muscle for his Utopia.

Jeebuzzy fuck, I know one shetty blegger who always uses silly-ass Star Trek allusions to describe my his obamapologies and obamapostasies

but I'm he's just a shetty blegger trying to amuse my his fellow shetty bleggers, wondering why I he doesn't get paid six figures to write Modotripe (or have a byline at Salon).

That was some good Photoshopping, though, wasn't it? He really does look kind of like a Vulcan.

Remember when Maureen Dowd columns used to be amusing - and even insightful? No, can't seem to recall...

To get the big bucks for writing, you have to be more full of shit. Shit = profit.
