I realize my post earlier today was a bit of a downer, but what can I say? Lately, there doesn't seem to be much good news on the ever-growing front in the war against quackery. However, in researching that piece I did come across something that made me smile. I found the campaign website for what to me appears to be the perfect embodiment of politics these days, for a leader who represents an exact fit with the mood of the times:

Hey, do I get one of those cool laser-sight eyeballs ?
How about one of those electric-toolkits-in a cyberarm gimmicks ?
Can we write in Locutus of Borg, or should we also include his
