Hillary Joins Borg Collective
The campaign of Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton announced today that the candidate has joined a Borg collective. The announcement confirms rumors that have been circulating since pictures showing Clinton as a Borg began appearing two weeks ago.
“A vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton is a vote for the collective,” said Clinton spokeswoman Marcia St. John from Clinton’s new big square campaign headquarters in New York City. “You’re not just getting one mind with Hillary, you’re getting a whole bunch of them, able to embrace all aspects of an issue simultaneously.

“We propose to settle the Kurds on one of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands,” announced Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice when asked about the recent destabilizing events in Pakistan. “We shall call it Kurdaleut (pronounced kird-a-lute), and it shall become a beloved territory of the United States, much like that Puerto Rican place.”
