This is just manifestly false: "With its light, crisp taste, Diet Pepsi gives you all the refreshment you need." All the refreshment you need? As if Pepsi could satisfy the infinite need of the human soul for refreshment? 

It's a big lie. Just like Goebbels. No, I am not comparing Pepsi to the Nazis, I am just saying that Goebbels lied. Oh, and that Pepsi, by the way, is lying. I'm just pointing out--this is a fact, here--that Goebbels' lies led to the Holocaust. And sort of similarly, Pepsi is not really all the refreshment you need. In fact, if you try to refresh yourself on Pepsi alone, I bet you'll be disappointed. I'm saying, and this is just a fact, that lies led to Auschwitz, Treblinka, Sobibor, the rape of Eastern Europe, and the Second World War. I'm not saying that the copy-writers at Pepsi--who are using the same lying technique as the Nazis--are Nazis, I'm just saying they lie, just like the Nazis did. No, I don't know why anyone's offended by my saying this. Frankly, I dont know who got everybody's panties in a wad over this statement. People are so touchy about the Holocaust.

 When have the Democrats ever been truly concerned about anything but getting thier way?

In the latter part of the 90's you heard a meme regarding "rights of the minority party' in congress.  Yet in 2009/2010 you heard that 'minority parties should shut up and go along.'  So much for minority rights.

As I said befor, the "new tone' is gioing to be a little bit of a one way street...

Dem: Hey Dan, you Hateful Bigoted Mean Spirited Conservative, how ya doing today?

Rep: Hey Bob, Doing fine.  How are the Kids?

Dem: Dan, how dare you?  Kids are baby goats, you're defaming my character.  Let's lighten up the tone here and be civil!

Rep: Sorry Bob, how are your children?

Dem: That's better Dan!

So, everything Dems say is fine, regardless of how twisted you have to be to show it was civil, and Republicans are uncivil simply because they are Republicans.

Just wait, when Republicans start to discuss defunding NEA you'll hear that Republicans are comparing Artists to Nazis because Hitler was an artist and Republicans don't want any more artists because they fear another Hitler.

No.  Maybe Sierra Mist lied, but never Pepsi.  Pepsi is all the refreshment I need.  It's the truth.

 In one of Joseph Heller's books he writes that it is a good thing for sales people to believe their advertising because then they can sell with conviction, but it is a bad thing for marketing people because then they will stop making up new lies.

Of course I am paraphrasing.  I think the book was "Good as Gold".

I work in the supply chain software industry - implementing transportation management systems.  There is a natural disgust between the consulting ranks and the sales force.  So one of my all time favorite jokes:

What is the difference between a software salesman and a used car salesman?  The used car salesman KNOWS when he's lying.

I'm thinking many of the Dems are very similar to said software salesmen.

Hilter was a vegetarian.

Vegetarians drink Pepsi.

Calm down and have a nice Diet Pepsi.  If you consume enough of it in once sitting you achieve nirvana.

Of course Pepsi lies. They're Coca-Cola's ugly red-headed stepchild.

Diet soda? Don't touch the stuff, and don't plan to start.

Wrong!  The correct answer is it is the fault of Palin and/or the Tea Party
