NOTE FROM DAVE:

It’s that time again: Next Tuesday
is election day here in the US.
Let’s see what some of our favorite
SF candidates are running for.

The Top 10 SF Political Slogans

10> For the bottom line in public relations, vote Lazarus Long for
Foreign Affairs Minister!

9> Vote for Seven of Nine/T’Pol. No new taxes, read their lips.
(Hey, their lips are up *here*, buster!)

8> Maureen Robinson: It’s time for a new commander on the
Jupiter 2 — and *I’ll* stop and ask for directions.

7> Vote Darth Vader for Empire Ethics Commissioner: He will
be a *FORCE* for change.

6> Vote Baltar, because he knows how to give those toasters a
really good frakking.

5> Ready for an honest, reliable, peace-loving president? Vote
Zaphod Beeblebrox!

4> Han Solo: Shoot first — Vote For Han.

3> Yoda I am and this message approve I do: Old, little, green he
is, the Strom Thurmond he is of the Jedi Party.

2> Marty McFly for Hill Valley Mayor: Working together tomorrow
for a brighter yesterday — today! Or last week. In a few
years. Whenever.

and the Number 1 SF Political Slogan…

1> Tired of waffling politicians so afraid of criticism they
never take a firm stand on policy decisions? Sick of partisan
yes-men? It’s time for Ming the Merciless! Ming for Emperor:
Back, and better than ever!
