Courting the Klingon vote

Now, I know everyone's constituencies vary slightly, and you will often see some politicians trying to court some minority votes by having their pages in Mandarin or some other language. But for Jyrki Kasvi, he has the interests of another minority in mind: Klingons. I guess it's not so weird, seeing as Google has had their homepage translated to Klingon, Pig Latin, and even that ever-widely spoken language of Bork, Bork, Bork for years now.

"Some have thought it is blasphemy to mix politics and Klingon," said Jyrki Kasvi, an ardent Trekkie. "Others say it is good if politicians can laugh at themselves."
