USA Today Declares Republicans Not Part of "the Country"
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Wed 28 Feb 2007 02:00 AM EST

“Though the president may have lost the country on the issues of the day, rumors of his demise among Republicans voters and lawmakers are greatly exaggerated.”
Remarkable, isn't it? And actually somewhat subtle. It's the last line of the piece, but the entire purpose of the piece. The sentence states that the president has lost the country, but not Republican voters. Which can only be interpreted as Republican voters no longer being part of said "country."

on Tue 27 Feb 2007 12:46 AM EST

FAR, FAR too good to pass up:

Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.

The recent rioting in Paris suburbs and elsewhere in Europe should not have surprised anyone.

In a case of “wrong or misleading heading”, a survey on suicide-bombing by a Karachi Urdu newspaper has confused the press. It has wrongly concluded that our leading ulema have renounced suicide-bombing. This is what an online academic magazine has concluded: “Clerics from all schools of thought have declared suicide attacks un-Islamic and forbidden them under the Sharia; they said killing a non-Muslim without a legitimate cause was against the Islamic way of life”.
