A loud crazy-sounding scream came from the room

Dave Winer Explains The Dean Yell.

It's an Indian war yell or something like that, they used to do it in United Farm Workers rallies, and they adopted it at Dean For America.

YEEAAH!!!!

Update from Dave:

Note: I had a phone talk this evening with Jim Moore about the piece above. He says the yelling I heard in the conference room at Dean HQ wasn't an Indian thing, although I remember him saying that, he says he didn't say it. I take him at face-value, and perhaps I embellished it in my memory at some point. Stranger things have happened.

CLARK'S NUANCES

Prewar analysis, postwar anger.

A Globe review of hundreds of pages of Clark's public statements on the Iraq war finds the retired general consistent on many points over the past two years. He criticized Bush from the outset as giving up on diplomacy and inadequately planning for the war's aftermath.

Excellent research on Clark's comments about the Iraq war, both before and after he became a candidate.

The best analysis I've seen.

Howard Dean Speech Idea

No matter how the first opportunity to talk Thursday night is presented to Dean, he's got to kidnap that moment to his central purpose of dealing with the Monday-night meltdown:

"Before I get to that Brit, I'd like to finish the roll call of the states I began on Monday night, and I don't want to forget Guam, so I may need a little more time. (pause for laughter).

I will, however, omit my imitation of a muppet being strangled since I have already given Howard Stern and every right wing kook radio host all the material they ever need. (Pause for laughter).

Seriously though, I have to put your question aside for a moment, and I am going to have to insist on three minutes here, because there's a problem in this country, and it is the political media, and it takes three minutes to outline. I am sure my colleagues will not begrudge me the time, and I'll give it back later."

YAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Alien abductees returned to Earth by unknown forces

Interview With "The 4400" Writer, Creator Scott Peters .
Here's he's talking about how the up and coming sci-fi series for USA Network is less about UFO's and abduction and more about people:

The show is less about that phenomenon than it is about what happens when people's lives are interrupted in an extraordinary way. How do they go about putting themselves back together? How do they deal with now suddenly being part of a new minority? How will (some of them) reconcile the fact that almost everyone they knew has lived their lives and are now gone, but they haven't aged a day. What if you were Rip Van Winkle?

And of course there will be other strange phenomenon the 4400 are going to have to deal with. They've been changed in some way while they were gone and these changes will slowly being to manifest themselves -- much to the surprise of both our heroes and the 4400 themselves.

Today is January 21, 1964 .

I got tickets to see the Beatles on Ed Sullivan!!!

I can’t believe it! I got two tickets to see the Beatles on February 9 at CBS Studio 50. The tickets arrived in the mail today while I was at school. I called Debbie right away and she also got two tickets! We’re gonna ask Brenda and Judy to go with us. I’m so glad that Debbie’s mom told us to write for tickets. I would not of even thought to do that. What’s really neat is that the tickets are free! I would have given a year’s allowance for a ticket!!!

Help NORML Stop Super Bowl Marijuana Propaganda

Please take two minutes to send a pre-written letter to CBS and your local media urging them to reject this year's anti-marijuana propaganda ads from the Super Bowl:

To: National CBS Advertising

As a CBS viewer, I am writing to voice my concern over your network's decision not to accept an ad for the upcoming Super Bowl from MoveOn.org. I understand this decision was based upon the network's policy of not running ads promoting "controversial issues of public importance." While I do not take issue with this policy in general, I assume that CBS will also refuse to run controversial anti-marijuana ads from the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

If your network is to be consistent, then you must also adhere to this policy when it comes to anti-marijuana propaganda ads. Marijuana decriminalization currently enjoys 72% support among the American public, according to the latest CNN/Time polling data. Clearly this is a "controversial issue of public importance" that divides American public opinion, and any public service announcement on the subject that promotes only one side of this issue must be considered an issue ad.

As a viewer of your network, I hope you will reconsider your decision to ban some issue oriented ads while allowing others. A free society relies on the honest debate of controversial issues. For CBS to allow certain points of views to be expressed on it's network while denying others strikes at the heart of democracy and the free flow of ideas. I hope you will either reconsider this network policy or reject the ONDCP's propaganda ads in accordance with CBS policy.

Sincerly,
--Steve

Does Laura Bush Want Tom Brady to Date Her Daughters?

Brady To Attend State Of Union Address.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be a special guest at Tuesday's presidential address.

Brady will take time out of his busy schedule preparing for the Super Bowl to be a special guest of first lady Laura Bush at Tuesday's State of the Union address.

According to ABC News, Brady will be seated next to the first lady.

I'd prefer that he prepares for the Super Bowl.
