The Simpsons was our Delphic Oracle

"In "Marge versus the Monorail" (one of several serious contenders for best Simpsons episode) the following confusion of Star Wars and Star Trek was presented as the sort of thing one gets from politicians trying to be culture-topical.



Mayor Quimby (D-Springfield): Now I'd like to turn things over to our Grand Marshall, Mr. Leonard Nemoy. And let me say, may the force be with you."

Leonard Nimoy: Do you even know who I am?

Quimby: "I think I do, weren't you one of the little rascals?"

"Lisa normally I'd say you should speak your mind but you've been doing that a lot lately."
"You made us march in that gay rights parade."
"And we can't watch Fox because they own those chemical weapons plants in Syria!"
