Lifted directly from BackupBrain:
The mundane buzz today about Carol Moseley Braun will be her dropping her own presidential campaign and supporting Dean. But the real news happened last night on her appearance on The Daily Show. Turns out that Carol’s a total science fiction geek. First she says (in a discussion of Bush’s Mars proposal) “Live long and prosper.” But she punctuated that with the Vulcan hand sign! And then, when talking about the way Bush pumps up the fear volume for the War on Terra, she explains it by saying “Fear is the mindkiller.” For those not familiar with classic SF, that’s from Frank Herbert’s Dune. Carol, you’re one of my people. May you get a job in the Dean Cabinet.
