Ten Tips for the Trekkie Voter on Election Day

POSTED BY: Tony DiGerolamo

With Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and even that crappy Enterprise show on DVD, Trek fans don't have much time to venture into, much less pay attention to, the outside world. With that in mind, here is a list of things for Trekkies to remember when they don their Spock ears and head out to participate in the democracy ritual on Election Day:

* Federation club "rank" will not get you any special treatment at the polling place.

* You may not sign in with the registrar in Klingon.

* Comparing Barack Obama to Mr. Tuvok makes you an intergalactic racist.

* Do not ask the voting official to make the "swoosh" sound when you enter the booth.

* The chances of being split in two due to a "voting booth accident" are extremely slim.

* Scott Bakula is not a good write-in for any spot on any ticket.

* Joe Biden is running for Vice President, not "Number One."

* Sarah Palin is the Borg Queen.

* You cannot vote to allow Vulcans to mate more often.

* Do not say "Make it so!" out loud when you're done voting.

Goth the Vote! A Handy Chart

The bats have left the bell tower

The victims have been bled

Red velvet lines the black box

Bela Lugosi's dead

Differences Between the RNC Platform and the Empire from Star Wars

POSTED BY: Tony DiGerolamo

After watching the Republican festivities last week, it's only natural to wonder, "how does this platform differ from that of the Galactic Empire in Star Wars?" Well, here's how it breaks down:

The Issue

 The RNC

 The Empire
Immigration Wants to build fence Wants to build Death Star
War Protestors Freezes out dissenters from town hall meetings Freezes dissenters in carbonite
Global Warming Wants to pollute the planet Wants to destroy planets
Torture For it For it
Veterans' Benefits Cuts soldier benefits to give tax breaks to the rich Cuts off soldiers limbs so they can benefit from cybernetics
Leadership Lets Karl Rove call the shots Passed on Rove for slightly less evil Emperor Palpatine
