Exceive

I didn’t used to think much of nascar advertizing, but wouldn’t it be nice on politicians?

Let’s ban straight campaign donations, but allow the sale of suit space for ads. And possibly naming rights for campaigns, careers, etc.

Visualize it.
Visualize it hard. Because that’s real, the picture with the tasteful (if sometimes slightly lumpy in back) suit is the illusion.

Next, hire a new pundit. A guy who’s used to saying “SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY” real loud. Have him announce speeches.

Then, instead of formal draping on those naked statues, we can use hot pink tube tops.

Visualize it. Hear it. Smell the cotton candy and the nitro-fuel.
Visualize it hard, because it is more real than real.

for open eyes only has a picture of a Berliner.
JFK’s mistake was a bit subtle - in German, place affiliations that apply to people are always adjectives, not nouns. For example, in German, “I am an American” would be incorrect - “I am American” would be correct. So would “I am an American man.”

Which means that the sentiment he was trying to express can’t exactly be said in German. He could claim the characteristic of Berliner, but not actually being Berliner.

I think this is a counterexample to language’s power. German speakers have not, historically, shown less strong group identification than those whose languages allow one to be a group affiliation rather than just have one. “I am an American” is a far stronger statement than “I am American”. This first defines me, the second merely describes me.
