Oregon Republican Representative
Bill Post
delivered a moving tribute
to Leonard Nimoy
declaring “Today is a sad day in history"
because "today the greatest Republican
in the history of the galaxy
passed away"
because "he was a legal alien
who believed in prosperity."
Though he gave his tribute
before Post did
Obama crafted
a fine counterargument
as to how "illogical" it was
that Spock would've counted himself
amongst today's GOP
when he said
"Leonard was a lifelong lover
of the arts and humanities
a supporter of the sciences"
and "generous with his talent
and his time"
then continued
that he was "cool
logical
big-eared and level-headed"
and serving as "the center of
Star Trek’s optimistic
inclusive vision
of humanity’s future."
