#1 Did anyone ever notice that all through TNG and DS9 the Klingons acted, for the most part, like what the average Klingon thought the stereotypical Romulan was like? Duplicitous, manipulative, unpredictable, and more concerned with the appearance of honor than the reality?

Gah.

#2 It comes as no surprise that JoKe would do well in the dork demographic.

#3 "A good war is based on honor, not deception," says K'tok (Earth name: Clyde Lewis), a 40-year-old Klingon from Lair Hill. "The first warrior, President Bush, deceived us all with this war."

OMFG. He's 40. A 40-frickin-year-old, dressing up like a Klingon. Why can't I live near people like this, so I can laugh and point at them?

#4 Just think: in only 41 more days, we won't have to listen to any more of these flatheaded, drooling mucoids repeating this inane "Bush lied" crap that's been fed to them by ambitious Democratic politicians.

I almost can't wait.

Oh, they're around.. you don't see them because they live in their moms' basements and work the night shift at Taco Bell.

#6 All I had to do was see the headline and the picture, and I thought, "Why is this even published?" (Not on Rantburg; in general.)

Buncha dinguses. Portland explains it all. Why? Why, I ask. Why would anyone even consider giving these dorks any credibility by interviewing them in the first place? What a waste of time. Entertaining, yes. But a waste of time.

#7 Name me a war where the Klingons beat the Federation. Patak!

Amy clear-thinking Klingon would realize that Kerry's pronounciations and shifting positions are very Romulan-like.

#8 I can see this question popping up during the debate:
Senator Kerry, who was better? Captain Kirk or Captain Picard?
He'll probably say they both were.

#9 Speaking of Picard, these Klingons are obviously corrupted by French blood. Just what was Jean-Luc up to in his spare time?

"WHAT DO YOU WANT!?"

"Uh, I'll take the medium gagh value meal, with nachos and a pepsi..."

#13 There's another definition of a "Klingon", and the headline would be quite fitting in that case...but I won't go there.
