BREAKING: Romney suspends campaign for two weeks due to Pon Far ("humans wouldn't understand")

Romney suspends campaign for two weeks due to Pon Far



Romney: "Live long and prosper."

Republican Presidential candidate has suspended all campaign activities through September 16th, according to spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom. The reason? Pon Far, the condition which causes Vulcans to go into heat every seven years, going into a blood fever, becoming violent, and finally dying if they do not mate with someone with whom they are empathically bonded or engage in the ritual battle known as kal-if-fee. Vulcans also mate outside of Pon Farr, and with species other than Vulcan.

Fehrnstrom revealed Romney's Vucan background for the first time during an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan on Monday. "It shouldn't come as a huge surprise. Many observers of Governor Romney commented on the fact that he didn't seem human. Well, he's not. You've heard the expression "getting my ears lowered" in regard to getting a haircut? Well, Governor Romney literally "had his ears lowered." The Mormon thing was a stretch. He knew he wouldn't get elected if his Vulcan heritage saw the light of day, but at this point, we have no choice but to reveal the truth. Well, most of the truth."

Romney has long displayed discomfort when discussing his Mormon faith. Fehrnstrom refuses to speculate on how open he'll be about his Vulcan heritage. "Governor Romney's sole focus right now is mating...with Ann if possible, but if not, Governor Romney simply needs to form an empathetic bond with another living organism. That is why we are shutting down for two weeks. The planet is fair game. We also hope to avoid kal-if-fee at all costs. Humans wouldn't understand what he's going through. We have no intention of trying to explain. You humans already have all the information you need on this matter. As soon as we are able to put Pon Far behind us, we will fully re-engage our efforts to make Mitt Romney our next President of the United States."

Mitt Romney did not return CNN's calls, but loud howling and bellowing calls were reported via a 911 call originating near his La Jolla mansion.

who are related to the Vulcans, IIRC. Vulcan is a bit of a stretch to describe Romney in any case. He is not rational or logical. Unemotional, yes, but that is all.

Genetically manufactured to kill without emotion. Throw-away aliens.



Take away his Ketracel White and he goes into withdrawal and flees to Lake Winnipesaukee for more or dies.
