This morning I found an article in a Chicago Jewish newspaper announcing that in honor of Charlton Heston and his role in “The Ten Commandments”, William Shatner would be in town to do a dramatic reading of the book of Exodus. Be afraid, be very afraid…
Incidentally, the erstwhile Captain Kirk’s name provides fair fodder for a Tom Swifty: “Tom, use the name ‘William Shatner’ in a sentence.” “ok. William Shatner the bushes because there was nowhere else to go.”
…and while I’m on the topic of Star Trek: My memory’s a bit hazy on this since I haven’t consistently watched the show in years, but why were the holodecks equipped with safety settings that could be turned off so as to render participants vulnerable to severe harm and/or death? Perhaps it’s mere poverty of imagination on my part, but is seems to me that the risk/reward ratio there is pretty highly skewed…
Finally, get a load of the latest Time magazine cover:
I haven’t read the article yet, so maybe they really are trying to evoke Highlander…and if so, that begs the question of WTF is wrong with the people at Time magazine. Then again, given the number of times this season Hilary Clinton has “come back from the dead”, as it were, maybe some people are legitimately scratching their heads as to whether she’s an Immortal. And as for Obama…maybe there’s more than meets the eye to his reluctance to debate with no moderators…
