So, using that analogy, the McCain campaign is the USS Reliant and the Obama campaign is the USS Enterprise. They fight, and the Enterprise is roughed up quite a bit by the Reliant/McCain sneak attack. But then they find the Mutara Nebula, which in our case means the Financial Market Nightmare of October 2008 (October Surprise!). Shields are useless, sensors won't function. It's really scary and dark and complicated and who the hell knows how to get out of the damn thing. So...Khan starts fumbling around the nebula. But Kirk's got Spock (who's probably David Axelrod) who points out that Khan's not too good at 3-dimensional thought (read, complex policy analysis and critical thinking skills). So the Enterprise/Obama lowers down and waits for the Reliant/McCain to fly blindly overhead, because Kirk/Obama CAN think 3-dimensionally.

But here's the good news. The Obama/Enterprise is at full power. Spock doesn't have to sacrifice himself to save the campaign, and the Obamaprise warps out to safety while the McCain/Reliant blows up in the coldness of space. WOOHOO! Yep, today I am an older man. Turned 37. And that was about it. Lots of nice messages and texts from my buddies, which is really nice. The Fella and I will probably have dinner tonight, and then tomorrow I'll have a nice little happy hour with a bunch of friends. Mama evidently sent me something in the mail, but our loser mailman still hasn't delivered our mail today, so who knows what I got? (I'm hoping for M&Ms or maybe homemade cookies.)
The Fella and I had a great weekend in New York City! The weather was beautiful and it's just another world there in Gotham. Food was great, especially dinner on Saturday night. That's one of the great things about New York, just walk around and you can find culinary genius on nearly every block. Even had a great time in Chinatown (minus the nasty fish smell coming from one of the outdoor markets- PEE-YEW!) when the Fella and I had a MAGNIFICENT foot massage (60 minutes for $30, you just can't beat that!) The Fella enjoyed his so much that he FELL ASLEEP half-way through. My masseur was really good. I couldn't actually feel my feet when we were walking out, they were that relaxed.
More details soon, as well as a great bit of news: I just got a job offer!!! (More later!)
Jesse Jackson got caught on tape saying he wanted to "cut [Obama's] nuts off" for talking down to black people with his faith initiative. 
Jesse Helms died. Good bye, you piece of shit.
Yesterday, actor Dennis Haysbert said "If anything, my portrayal of David Palmer, I think, may have helped open the eyes of the American people," regarding a black president, referring to his stint in the action show "24." (You know the one, the show that Vice President Cheney thinks is a REAL LIFE DOCUMENTARY.)
