Spock for President

Voting was painless, and didn't take more than ten minutes. I was a little displeased to see the Diebold voting machines, but I must admit that the voter interface is quite adequate - clear and easy to use.

As I walked out, the Kerry guy approached me, and I braced myself; but he had only seen the Starfleet insignia on my denim jacket, and and jokingly asked how the Federation was voting this year. I replied with a grin, "As the members' individual convictions dictate, of course," and he accepted that with a smile. We chatted Trek for about 5 minutes, then I headed to work. I didn't even need my extra voting hour.

Good quote

I wish I'd seen this one in time for trenn to make me a button of it for Rising Star:
