You named the small business you started as a teenager Cruz Enterprises,<br />after Stark Enterprises from the Iron Man comics. In your marathon<br />anti-Obamacare speech, you impersonated Darth Vader. Are you attracted<br />to antiheroes?<br /><br />A. Certainly not to Vader. I was always a Han Solo guy. And when it<br />comes to comics, I was more of a Spider-Man guy.<br /><br />Q. You are the chairman of the Senate subcommittee on space, and during a<br />hearing, you asked NASA to focus on space exploration rather than climate change.<br />Do you think there’s a big overlap between sci-fi nerds and people<br />interested in policy?<br /><br />A. Well, I do think that readers of science fiction are interested and<br />attracted to the future. And in many ways, politics is a battle for<br />framing our future.<br /><br />Q. You’re also a fan of ‘‘Star Trek.’’ Do you prefer Captain Kirk<br />or Captain Picard?<br /><br />A. Absolutely James Tiberius Kirk.<br />====<br /><br /><br />The Strip<br />By BRIAN McFADDEN<br />JULY 25, 2015<br />GOP Stunts for the Spotlight<br />http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/26/opinion/sunday/the-strip-brian-mcfadden-comics.html<br />jimfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975754342950063440noreply@blogger.com
