...less attention than the breakup. Every candidate for a party's third straight term in the White House needs a moment to define himself away from his two-term predecessor. Bush's father waited until the G.O.P. convention to break with Reagan, rolling out his controversial "kinder, gentler" slogan. Gore simply kept Clinton at arm's length from early in his quest, hoping he'd take the hint. Both of those aspiring successors were dealing with incumbents whose numbers were still relatively healthy - Bush's, by contrast, are stuck in the low thirties and not likely to go anywhere with...
...told Nader my outline for a campaign plan that would fix his image. My idea: apologize like crazy. I suggested that he adopt the slogan "My bad!" and produce campaign buttons with his head on Urkel's body, saying DID I DO THAT? Nader would come out onstage to Britney Spears' Oops! ...

...Given the cynical national response to activities like this, Prime Minister Brown’s statement is ridiculous. It asserts a narrow-minded idea of British nationalism that hardly exists to begin with. A recent submission to the The Times’ competition for the best British slogan perhaps put it best: “Once Mighty Empire, Slightly Used.” It would be far more worthwhile to concentrate on assimilating the multiplicity of the nation’s ethnicities and religions, through tolerance of ideas like Williams’, rather than maintain an unbending nationalistic tone...
