You know who else targeted members of their own party?
Yep. The Nazis.

Andy Naselli on overly–analytical people:

Man A: She says she’s just not ready to sleep with someone unless they’re committed to a long-term relationship.
Man B: Oh, my. She’s really being too analytical. You know, you’re a good guy. She’s going to lose you if she’s not careful.
A: She keeps wanting to talk about the “direction” we’re going. I’m just not ready for conversations like that. I think she’s being too introspective. She’s just over-analyzing this. I really don’t see us being in a long-term relationship.
B: Yeah, that’s why I never dated her. I mean, she’s really beautiful and everything, but she does seem to analyze everything too much. If someone’s been single for eight years, there must be a reason.

I’m trying to save the planet; I’m trying to save the planet. I will not have this debate trivialized by their excuse for their failed policy.

Judging from the local drive time radio shows,  we bitter, religious pistol-packers here in flyover country remembered only two things from Obama's Berlin visit: the phrase "citizen of the world" and Obama's failure to visit wounded troops at Landstuhl and Ramstein.

Stunningly, bashes Obama:

"Both Ways Barack," the attack ad from conservative group Let Freedom Ring, takes aim at presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama for what it calls a history of trying to take opposing positions on the same issue.

“…Republicans Say It Was Okay“:

Attitudes about the cover differ sharply by party. Nearly two-thirds of Republicans who saw the cover say it was okay for the magazine to publish it, 65% of Democrats disagree.

Partisan reactions? Really?

Jay Tea:

If you're deeply troubled by the economic costs of NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, then Obama has your back. He said, repeatedly, that it should be re-negotiated, at the least.

But if you think that overall, NAFTA has been good for the American economy, and we shouldn't mess with it unless we're very careful, that's good -- Senator Obama is on your side.

Villainous Company:

Kerry: widely mocked for speaking French

House majority leader Tom DeLay, Republican of Texas, is reported to have started a meeting by saying, "Good morning, or as John Kerry would say, `Bonjour.' "

Obama: widely mocked for wanting other people to speak French

You know, it's embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And then we go over to Europe, and all we can say [is], "Merci beaucoup."

Jack Shafer with the understatement of the day

That's not "change." That's "failure we can do without."

So really he was just here to make a showing for the Americans back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.

For balance, a picture of said cheerleaders.

The same people who claim that Thomas Jefferson spoke for all of the founders of the United States must, by that same logic, say that George W. Bush speaks for all of the United States today.
