Dean Vader

Howard Dean has been in the news a lot lately. If I were advising him, I would tell him to shut up. From a political perspective, he would benefit from having people wake up a year from now asking, "Why haven't we heard Howard Dean say something crazy lately?" But that's not going to happen. It will be interesting to see what he says on Meet the Press this Sunday!

Speaking of the dark side, I'm looking forward to seeing Revenge of the Sith next week (I want to let all the fanatics get it out of their system, first). I have mixed emotions, you see. Part of me is very excited about this, and the other part is afraid it will be like Episode I and II. My friend Rich (who saw it at Midnight Wednesday) says it is "awesome." ...But he said that about Episode I and II, as well.

Lastly, I hope you like our new (and temporary) tag line. I think it is timely...
