They literally ruin everything they touch

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Yes! She helped write the TNG bible with, IIRC, David Gerrold.

Also has this person never heard of AC Crispin or DC Fontana? Two powerful *women* writers who drove Trek during TOS and the books afterwards?

BjoTrimble - the *originator* of Star Trek fandom, who single handily started the write in campaign that save Trek and helped it become the work it is today. Yeah *she* did all that. To say women have never been into Trek is baffling.

Michael Eisner @Michael Eisner X.com Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The "suspending indefinitely" of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one's political or financial self-interest."
