Does Obama / McCain slash fiction exist?

Does Obama / McCain slash fiction exist? If so, where can I find it and what are the major themes in the genre? I know it must be out there - Obama McCain real person fiction. I imagine something like a rehash of the Kirk/Spock genre, where the maverick is tamed, or the soft spoken rational guy learns to cut loose. I know real people fiction is sometimes considered taboo in the slash fiction world, but surely I'm not the first person to wonder about this unlikely pairing.

How do I give myself Spock eyebrows?

How do I give myself Spock eyebrows? I presume there's enough Star Trek fans that someone knows how to make up my eyebrows to be slanty like Spock's. But I haven't been able to google up any instructions.

Is there a somewhere I can order them online? Do I spirit gum patches of latex to my head? Any ideas?

Star Treck Game

Many years ago I was given a box of odd DOS software on 5 1/4 disks. One of them had a Star Treck game whose object was for the player to assume the role of captain Kirk and issue commands to the crew members in the correct star Treck manner. While I had enjoyed the show, I was not familiar enough with the program to play the part of Kirk. Just to see what would happen, I told Spock to go do an anatomical impossibility and was immediately relieved of command and placed in the brig. The disk has been lost. What was this game and where can I get a working copy?
