While reading the news from CNN.com this morning, a line from Gov. George
W. Bush's victory speech to his supporters following yesterday's South
Carolina Republican primary just jumped off the screen at me:

"I got knocked down in the snows of New Hampshire, so I went to my leaders

So, is the governor {qumwI'} a Trekker, or is the phrase "show you/them my
heart" from some other tradition I'm not aware of that the Trek writers may
have borrowed for the Rite of Ascension ceremony?
I wonder if anyone else in his audience caught the reference. Whatever its
source, the image is certainly memorable.
