BS: I can see clearly now

From: Donuel

Today I woke up with the insight of the great morality play being p;ayed out world wide in terms of Star Trek characters;


As a cartoonist I see all the radical violent Muslims as Klingons,
George Bush, Rove and Cheney as Ferengi (big ears and all),
Donald Rumsfeld however is a Romulan half breed
and Al Gore and Kerry are part Vulcan.
The legions of dissenting US generals are hard core Star Fleet officers who are speaking up against the specter of the Borg Ferengi conspiracy.

I can illustrate the above quite easily but a screen play along these lines would no doubt become a smash hit.

Nope. Cheney is definitely a Borg.
the rest seem about right.

Jack, duly noted.

I just can't see a childless Condi as a soft fluffy overly fertile Tribble.

No. Maybe she's the sad-faced Medusa (the Lee Meriwether episode). She is sent out by Dubya and his friends to put the touch on world leaders.

You guys are only catching up with these ideas now? :-)

That's the ironic bit Donuel!

Yes, I see it. Very interesting. I agree about Cheney being a Borg. I don't think there's a "species" in those shows for Condi. She's probably more like something from a Stephen King novel.

Ah - a crossover plot...

Isn't she the energy being who thought she was married to the astronaut?

I think Condi could do as a Bajoran just fine. They usually are very intense and determined and have a real chip on their shoulders at the same time. Always ready for confrontation.

But yeah, she is like something from a Stephen King novel. Very good, Carol. ;-)

The question is, when will the real Captain Kirk step in and rescue us all from this hideous situation? When, I ask you?!!

Saddam goes well as a fanatical and totally ruthless Romulan warlord, now languishing in the lockup for exterminating Bajorans and various other lifeforms in his quest for total hegemony over the Galaxy. He is despised by the Klingon Al-Queda zealots, and despises them in return.

I can hear Kirk already -" Klingon sons! You murdered my bastard!'

But in real life, there is no deux machina to save us all.
