Only if you plan on voting for Howard Dean.

Steve,
 
Hmmm. This is a problem.
 
At the moment, I like Clark better, and don't plan to vote for Dean, but I suppose I would if he winds up the nominee.  So what should I do about the truck?
 
Meanwhile there was a very interesting piece in yesterday's NYT about how the Bush Admin is doing it's best to tone down the, shall we say, more unpleasant side of the war in Iraq.  There story ended with a paragraph or two about how Cher (who is no more my idea of a political lodestone than Dubya) had visited some VA hospital and had her picture taken with some poor Army guy who'd lost both arms in Iraq.  She pointed out that Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Wolfowitz and all those other assholes hadn't visited any army hospitals, and sure as hell hadn't had their pictures taken with any depressing amputees, and wondered what the hell was going on that SHE was cheering up the wounded and THEY weren't.  I thought that was a goddam good question.
 
Which is not to say that Chrif's piece on some old MM&W house that's been AFU wasn't interesting, too.
