Suddenly, I don't hate Howard Dean. No, I still don't think he's the best candidate, and no, I still don't think he'd win, but allow for a brief statement: Howard Dean can talk, um, real good. And he knows stuff, too. But mostly, it's just the fact that the fuckin' DLC (Democratic Leadership Council) hates him so much that they're putting out anti-Dean commercials at the early point in the game. That's pathetic, and a perfect example of why the national Democratic Party is such a frekin' mess right now. Planetarium can hardly believe it's eyes. The DLC is so deep-money entrenched, so middle-of-the-road, so much more concerned with fundraising than with winning, that they can't even see a loyalty-inspiring media-grabber when it's looking them in the face. And maybe that's Dean's biggest problem. The DLC is too stupid to give him the backing he'd need to win, and hence, he'll lose.
But hey- Christmas is almost here! Go buy everyone in our family a copy of Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. Or maybe the new Michael Moore. Whatever, just spread the word, you know? Ho ho ho.
