Title: [Politics/Religion] Darmok

you can almost tell the whole election 2008 story with the dialogue of Dathon relating Darmok and Jilad to Picard

"Sarah, when the walls fell- McCain, his eyes closed. McCain, his fists closed. Barack and JoeBid at Temarc in Winter. McCain, with sails unfurled. Barack and Joebid at WhiteHouse"

There are a few Trek moments in this campaign, but the Palin Pick reminded me of this episode:

'The party desired me to have Mittens as consort. I desired Lieberman. If I chose Mittens, I would have to listen to him all the time, but The Base would be satisfied. If I chose Lieberman, I would have to listen to the wailing of The Base, but I would be satisfied. By choosing Palin I do not have to listen to the wailing of The Base, and I can be satisfied by Cyndi while thinking of Palin'.
