Did you happen to notice the terms Secretary of State Colin Powell used in his Jan. 1 op-ed in the New York Times (here linked to the International Herald Tribune)?
As we work to restore a liberated Iraq to its people, we invite the United Nations and the international community to help Iraqis establish a new citadel of free minds and free markets in the Middle East.
No problem, Colin, we're happy to improve this administration's prose.

"Uh-huh." "Let's roll."
I was thinking of copyrighting "not guilty."

Not too be too IP technical, but you can't have copyright protection on a slogan; you have trademark protection.
That being said, that's cool.

Merkin: Go to www.reason.com and read the tiny print under the word "reason" at the top left. Or the more readable text on the cover of the print edition. It's been Reason's slogan for many years.

This ungodly infringement is due to Kazaa. We need Congress to act now to prevent the future theft of slogans, or else the slogan industry may be doomed. Doomed I tell you!
