That’s the plan at Phones 4U in Britain, where it looks like Phone 4U’s owner John Caudwell broke his neck one too many times. Someone needs to screw his head on straight: He estimates the ban will save staff three hours a day and his company at least £1 million a month in saved time.…

What are you waiting for? Go sign up for DeanLink (it’s free!) and find out who is supporting Governor Dean in your neighborhood.

Ahoy, me hearties! It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day! (About Talk Like a Pirate Day.) Classic.

Outlandish Josh is in Burlington, and writing about his experiences.

Joe Trippi just sent Jim Jordan a letter. As Josh would say, Dude! You’ve been faced!

In other words, Iraq wasn’t all that expensive by comparison, and what we’re doing has significant historical precedent. Not so much. I have a little (emphasis…

Over at Unfogged, “Ogged” (who is “not a lawyer and does not live in Chicago”) figures out why many of us are attracted to Dean: I just got my first good look at Howard Dean at the Harkin Steak & Fry broadcast on CSpan. Holy shit. Electric. And two words for why Dean is doing…
