WHY CAN’T IT HAPPEN?: Super Tuesday and Fat Tuesday Collide

This Tuesday is Tsunami Tuesday, or Super-Duper-Anderson Cooper Tuesday or whatever you want to call it. Anyway, 24 states plus American Samoa are voting, amounting to a national primary. It’s also a Day of Reckoning for struggling candidates. Anyone who can’t score delegates on this day should start drafting a concession speech, endorse the likely winner, and hope for a cabinet post (Rudy called dibs on Attorney General) or maybe a spot on the ticket (what sounds better: Macabee or Romnabee?)

The two candidates most interested in Tuesday’s results are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Hillary has been way ahead in these states for months, but Obama has “the big mo,” (this is what newscasters who think they’re hip call momentum). Obama is mounting a sudden comeback, putting Hillary in a tight spot. And she wouldn’t be Hillary if she weren’t willing to do anything to win.


Remembering that Mardi Gras is the same night as the primaries, Hillary will campaign by flashing people that throw her Vote Hillary beads. These beads will be symbolic of a promise to vote for her. However, many people will throw her the beads, but actually reneg on their promise and vote for Obama instead. This group will call themselves Recantors for Obama, because Reneggers for Obama would just not sound right. Hillary will wake up the next morning horribly hung-over and Obama will emerge victorious.

Warp Core breach Tuesday came among us all last night. He who has the most dilithium crystals can adapt the phasing cloak and the real question is who's shields will not hold when being hit by a photon torpedo and the result... we are stuck in a temporal causality loop and nothing will ever be decided. We are eternally stuck in this loop and nothing will ever be decided.

What if they're stingy? Would niggardly reneggers for Obama work?

Riker, you must have been asleep at the wheel in Quantum Mechanics 201 at the academy. Dilithium crystals, are you serious? Obviously you don't know about trilithium quatronomy. If you recalibrate the shield modulations with trilithium phase-inducers, they're resistant to type-2 photon torpedos.

Geez, a first officer needs a lowly engineer to school him...

Hillary is Captain Janeway. Seriously. And this is coming from another she-male.
