Gov. Dean at the DNC Winter Meeting
Gov. Dean was the last presenter among four candidates (Lieberman, Gephardt, and Moseley-Braun were the others) at Day 1 of the DNC Winter Meeting. (Go to the video page for the link to C-Span.) In an article in today’s St. Louis Post-Dispatch titled “Dean scores a homerun“, former Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson is quoted as saying:…

Things are not always what they seem…
A few years back, I worked with a guy who I came to like. The barometer by which I judge co-workers is whether I’d want to work with them again… and in his case, he’d be the first guy I’d call. He’s brilliant – by far, the smartest person I’ve worked with. Scary smart. And…

On the campaign trail with the un-Bush
Jake Tapper’s profile in Salon yesterday was another solid piece fleshing out details of Dean’s candidacy. It’s a lengthy piece that both reinforces some stereotypes (“the most liberal of the Democratic front-runners”) while at the same time tries to give Dean chance to counter with his side of the story. (“I don’t mind being characterized as…

Patriot II: Now with fewer civil rights!
I am thoroughly stunned at the brazen efforts to erode basic civil liberties currently going on in Washington. “But we’re at war!” say they. Way back when I was a sophomore in high school (1986, for those keeping score at home), I wrote a paper on ex parte Milligan. It was this case that showed…

Deborah McMurray on Brobeck
Run, don’t walk, and visit this post by Deborah McMurray about the lessons not to learn from Brobeck’s demise. Deborah is one of my co-authors (for The Lawyers Guide to Marketing on The Internet, the book whose blog she posted this to), and I think her post is one of the most cogent to come out…

Nomination – Dean’s for the asking?
So says Emmett Tyrrell, the founder of The American Spectator. (Yes, that American Spectator.) Turns out that Tyrrell and Dean did a TV show together in Montreal called The Editors while Dean was governor in Vermont. Tyrrell was writing about a perceived gaffe by Kerry – wearing an apparently leather jacket with a fur collar…

Isn’t it ironic…
BBC America is a great channel. What a shame you can’t get it in the UK. And just saw Coupling for the first time. What a fantastic show. Adding it to the Tivo subscriptions as we speak.
