does Captain Kirk ever seal the deal, or does he just make out with a succession of hot aliens?

He gets married & fathers a child when HE. IS. KIROK.

I recall, there's a scene after a cut where Kirk is putting on his boots.

My google-fu suggests that scene is in "Wink of An Eye."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

HE. IS. KIROK.

Heh. "Behold the god who bleeds!"

ION, Andrew Sullivan keeps on harping on Palin. This post is really good:

Why Palin Still Matters

Some readers think my continuing attempt to expose all the lies and flim-flam and bizarre behavior of Sarah Palin is now moot. She's history - they argue. Move on. I think she probably is history. Even Bill Kristol and his minions in the McCain-Palin campaign may not be able to resuscitate her political viability now. But even if she is history, she is history that matters.

Let's be real in a way the national media seems incapable of: this person should never have been placed on a national ticket in a mature democracy. She was incapable of running a town in Alaska competently. The impulsive, unvetted selection of a total unknown, with no knowledge of or interest in the wider world, as a replacement president remains one of the most disturbing events in modern American history. That the press felt required to maintain a facade of normalcy for two months - and not to declare the whole thing a farce from start to finish - is a sign of their total loss of nerve. That the Palin absurdity should follow the two-term presidency of another individual utterly out of his depth in national government is particularly troubling. 46 percent of Americans voted for the possibility of this blank slate as president because she somehow echoed their own sense of religious or cultural "identity". Until we figure out how this happened, we will not be able to prevent it from happening again. And we have to find a way to prevent this from recurring.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Is it just me, or does Saxby Chambliss sound like a name made up for a bad faux-Austen novel?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

If memory serves, Kirk had a scene with that green-haired gladiator chick in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" where the camera tactfully panned upwards to a burning wall sconce once they started making out hot-and-heavy. I'm pretty sure he sealed the deal that time.

Umm Dan Quale. Ronald Reagan. The utterly unqualified rising to positions of great power is not exactly unknown.
