qID'a' Jyrki Kasvi? If he - or his translator - really does know Klingon
well enough to translate his web page, surely he's heard the classic joke

ghobe', SuD!
Are warriors red?

If he hasn't, someone should tell him. He's missing a perfect campaign
slogan for his Green Party! (Of course, this may alienate the socialist
vote. <g>)
