The Borg presidency
“You will be assimilated!”
These were the ominous words of one of the most insidious television villains ever: the Borg.
The Borg were the creation of the Star Trek franchise, appearing on numerous episodes of Star Trek: the Next Generation and Star Trek Voyager. They even appeared in one of the Star Trek films.

“Did you see the front page of the newspaper?”
I was enjoying morning coffee with my wife. We were reading the newspaper. Having finished the main news section, the Metro Iowa section, and the Sports page, I turned to my favorite section, the comics.
As I chuckled over “Rhymes with Orange,” I noticed Karen was glancing at the front page.
“Are you reading the article about the school teacher who was forced to resign for having sex with a staffer in the closet of his classroom?”
