After pulling an all-nighter, I belligerently challenged Ed Morrissey to a debate on the relative merits of Real Star Trek vs. the sacrileges that followed it. From Hot Air:

Tommy notes with some justification that we seem to reverse political roles when it comes to Trek. All I can say is that we didn't see Tommy get this exercised during his three days of immersion in the conservative environment, so perhaps we're beginning to discover his inner Right-think.

All I have to say to that is, "When Mugati fly, Ed, when Mugati fly!"

We also discussed economic policy and racial stereotyping in science fiction. Here's the video:

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
