I suppose I could post about the war (Turkey's a go for the airspace but a no for the ground troops). But really, that's just depressing. I'll start posting casualty counts after Rumsfeld levels Baghdad. Until then, you just get Howard Dean links: The Candidate, Waging Peace (washingtonpost.com)
"When I was back in my twenties, the Vietnam War was going on," says Dean. "There was a lot of opposition to that war. And in this state, in 1968, there was a senator named Eugene McCarthy who drove an incumbent president, Lyndon Johnson, out of the race." He waits out applause.
"And that's going to happen again," he screams, and before long, you can only make out random words over wild applause ("McCarthy" . . . "Gonna start here in New Hampshire" . . . "Thank you very much.") And on a very tense day -- and aren't they all -- there's an air of festivity here Monday. Oh fine, in war news: Blix is saying we're acting like dipshits.
