The next Star Thingy movie

(Blink)  Er… Obama Administration

This is a phenomom of “Sure, why the hell not?  It’s what people are talking about”.  (We may be at that point in political discourse when the only way we can get substantial parts of the electorate to gravitate to a point is by throwing out pop culture references willy nilly.)

And like John Boehner has anything better up his sleeve.

And Obama goes forth despite the factoid that Star Trek is not Star Wars and

During his news conference Friday, Obama said some people unfairly expected him to be able to force Republicans to accept his terms. “Even though most people agree… I’m presenting a fair deal, the fact that they don’t take it means that I should somehow do a Jedi mind-meld with these folks and convince them to do what’s right,” he said.
That phrase “Jedi mind meld,”which he uttered during extemporaneous (read: no prompter or script) remarks during the question-and-answer portion of the newser, appears to combine elements from two distinct sci-fi worlds.

The worlds converge, though…  It doesn’t take too long to point out that the director for the next Star Wars and the next Star Trek movie are the same guy.
