Washingtonian Magazine has included me among the most influential persons on public policy … and made public a terrible secret that I wanted to address before it triggers an extraterrestrial scandal.
This has proven a week of embarrassing self-disclosure. On Sunday, I revealed my ineptitude at taking selfies.
Now the Washingtonian background statement has revealed one of my long concealed deficiencies: I cannot do the Vulcan salute. It has been a point of humiliation with my children who could all join the Vulcan Ni‘Var Science Institute.
I take some solace in reports that Zachary Quinto, who played Spock had to use glue while Celia Lovsky, who played T’Pau, the Vulcan Minister, had her fingers taped together for the movie.
I feel better having come clean. So for those of you with Vulcan dexterity, I will simply say “Live Long and Prosper.”
