After the GOP co-opt the Star Wars universe for their own nefarious purposes, George Lucas makes an appearance with House Democrats (including his own congresswoman, Nancy Pelosi.) The Republican video (shown at CPAC) “depicted GOPers as the virtuous rebels, being pursued by ‘Darth Nancy’ and her imperial henchmen, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and Democratic campaign chief Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.).” Um, yeah, you guys own every branch of government, your boy in office is ignoring the law and desperately trying to wrest power from the Senate, and you’re the Alliance. C’mon now, at least the Yankees own up to it.

Minor correction…the Yankees play the theme for a “New Hope” and not the Imperial March when they take the field/are introduced. The latter is reserved for visiting team.
Now college bands play the Imperial March during football games when their team is on defense and makes a big play. My high school band provided me a poor rendition of such when I had my only career interception for a touchdown. It was still cool, but not as cool as say the USC band could muster…
And who could resist the name “Darth Cheney!” It just seems to roll off the tongue.
