Make or Break in Wisconsin

The Journal Sentinel reports on Howard Dean, M.D.’s Wisconsin-centered strategy. Dr. Duck will be in tomorrow, but sadly this weblogger will be working and unable to attend any events.

Intelligence Review

Filed under War

There should be a commission to investigate Iraq intelligence and , and it’s good the White House appears to be supporting one. If it turns out the administration manipulated the intelligence, at the minimum, they should be denied re-election.
But so far, I’ve seen no evidence of deliberate manipulation. The most impressive argument is that […]

Is Duck, M.D. Reading TAM?

Probably not since I’m not part of the Deaniac echo chamber. Here’s what Dr. Dean’s new campaign manager, Roy Neel, posted to the campaign weblog:
Our goal for the next two and a half weeks is simple—become the last-standing alternative to John Kerry after the Wisconsin primary on February 17.
Why Wisconsin? First, it is a stand-alone […]

Duck-Trippi Relationship

Filed under Howard the Duck
Comments Off

Here’s a portion from a post from Howard Dean, M.D. himself:
Losing Joe [Trippi] is a blow, and I still hope that he will come back as a strategic advisor later, he is the best in the business.
Trippi is gone because Dr. Duck wanted a change. He felt he needed a change. If he still thought […]

Feathers Flying in Burlington

Call this “Duck’s Last Stand.” Howard Dean dumped his campaign manager Joe Trippi and is guiding the campaign down a cost-conscious path by asking staff to “defer their paychecks for two weeks.” It seems to me Duck, M.D. was running his campaign like a dot com drunk with venture capital cash at the height […]

Milwaukee Meetup

Filed under Weblogging
Comments Off

Other places all over the country have periodic weblogger gatherings. Sad to say, the Milwaukee area hasn’t seen any. The weblog Meetup is scheduled for 02.18. Let’s see if we can get a SE Wisconsin group together. After my BloggerCon experience I know face-to-face contact with other webloggers only makes me more enthused with the […]

There isn’t anything for me to add. Just read Eugene Volokh’s public thrashing of Paul Craig Roberts.

Buck Rogers on DVD

Gil Gerard and the lovely Erin “Col. Deering” in my DVD player. Oh, Joy! I just hope it doesn’t have a ridiculous price like the Battlestar Galactica set.

Carnival of the Vanities #71

By hosting this week’s Carnival I’ve learned two things: 1. This is a lot of work; 2. There are some great weblogs I’ve never heard of. My thanks go to everyone who has made this possible. Next week’s Carnival will be at A Perfectly Cromulent Blog.
And away we go…

Duck Doomed

Filed under Howard the Duck
Comments Off

Howard Dean, M.D. received another shallacking by Sen. John Kerry. Just a few weeks ago, Dean, M.D. was beating Kerry by double digits. Between then and now, Democrats realized politics is about getting someone elected so they’re rejecting a scream, angry doctor and putting a liberal, more Presidential-looking Senator in his place as front-runner. The […]

I’m working the night shift so work on the Carnival of the Vanities won’t resume until the wee hours of Wednesday morning. That means you still have time to get your entry in. Send them to carnival –at– theamericanmind DOT com. Please put “carnival” or “CotV” in the subject heading so I don’t think […]
