That's the thing, DT, he's serious!!!
I know, he communicates intellegently, and is obviously well-educated, and yet he holds on desperatly to the idea that Bush is some kind of HERO!!!!
See,.. you're wrong/don't have all the facts/him being wrong doesn't=lie/he never said that/no proof/Bush-hating slander, yadda yadda blagh blagh.....
(I hold that he's paid by the Bush team to spy on us
)And there's no abusing sarcasm when Andrew starts on his pro-Bush rants!
(...but he's cool off the RWE...)

Chris
but it was such a great buffy quote I had to use it :)
If you're right and Andrew actually believes this stuff, and is not just trying to spin us then he's a lot dumber than I thought, and perhaps I'm wasting my time.

That's the boggle! He's really bright, I can only conclude it's a fear-of-being-wrong fixation, you know, like, "Daddy doesn't beat me, he diciplines me." He can counter every negative comment about Bush with a spin, or outright denial. Hell, I can come up with more negative comments about James T. Kirk than he can about Bush. It's somewhat unsettling.

Potbelly
Repeats self, others
Wears pajamas to work
Always chases after the nearest human female or most human looking alien
Can't protect his redshirted staffers.

Tends... to insert pregnant... pauses in strange... places. (It's Shakespearean ya know.)
ALWAYS decapitates the ship's command by sending the top officers into every dagnerous situation. (BTW- What ARE those 400 minions doing on the Enterprise? Stoking coal???)

Yeah, yeah, that's right. Next time you face a Romulan invasion, don't call for a Starship!
Damn Borg-huggers.

Signym,
Don't you realize that sending all of your ranking officers down in a shuttle is the surest way to promote rapid promotion? Why without that incentive, surely the workers would become disaffecte and might space themselves.

Yes, well the minions have had various uses in various incarnations of Trek.
In Classic Trek, the minions are made up mostly of miniskirted tralks who are lining up to bed the captain, and a few good men, some hired jiggalos of the whore corps, and others who themselves are lining up to bed Sulu.
In STNG, the bulk of the crew are schoolchildren, whose main purpose seems to be to get into an inordinant amount of peril in order to motivate the crew into action. So sterile is the next generation crew, that they lack the chutzpah to act, unless something truly horrific on a televisionific scale is about to occur.
In DS9, the minions mainly serve to gamble, get drunk, and spend way to much cash to keep quark in business so that cisco can tax him as his sole profitable business on the station in order to keep operations running.
On Voyager, the minions are all of the 'Kes' species, and exist to mature and breed at a phenomenal rate so they can replace themselves as rapidly as possible, hoping to offset the paradox that way many more crew members are seen dying on screen than were ever on the crew manifest to begin with.
I haven't seen Enterprise, so someone else has to fill in here.
