To the McCainites.
President-Elect Obama is not a terrorist, socialist, communist or any of the other names that you have come up with. President-Elect Obama is actually from another planet and the leader of the Borg, a pseudo-race of cyborgs. In fact all of us that supported President-Elect Obama are Borg.
McCainites, resistance is futile. You will be assimilated into the Obama collective. Your leader McCain was assimilated before he gave his concession speech. That is why he agreed to work with President-Elect Obama.

also years too late. Did you forget he defeated the cluster mate of Seven of Nine so badly they had to send Keyes of the Jerkoffian galaxy to do battle, and he was roundly defeated in formal combat?

Well, they don't want the Christodumfukians to be thinking that she was CLONED now.

Okay, this may make me a total nerd, but this is not a Star Trek thing. The communication with the 3D hologram is a Star Wars thing, though they did mimick "beaming" her in like Star Trek. Also, they've had Star Trek series on the air a lot more recently than 35 years ago, and they all had the beam ins, but very few 3D hologram communications, and those were all alien technology, never Federation. If he and hos fact checkers can't even get that much straight (it's not possible that he doesn't know even one Trkkie), then what other, possibly more important facts did he foul up?
