Declaration Celebration webcast

By Aziz P. -
Howard Dean wil deliver the Declaration at 1PM EDT - and it will be webcast via DFA.com (click the link above for details).

If you plan on watching the Declaration at home, join the Virtual Declaration signup and be counted!

Speaking of the Declaration, Today's profile of Dean in the WaPo is not as friendly as today's Burlington Free Press piece, but it does have a (sharp) sense of humor:

The former Vermont governor will announce his candidacy for the Democratic nomination today in his home town of Burlington.

In addition, The Post has learned that Dean has in fact been running for president for more than a year. This finding is based on numerous statements from Dean, including "I'm running for president," "I want to be president," "I intend to be the nominee of this party" and "I'm going to beat George Bush." Dean has made these statements at gatherings that closely resemble campaign events, dozens of which occurred in Iowa and New Hampshire.

But despite appearances, Dean has not been running for president, says Courtney O'Donnell, a spokeswoman for the former governor. Rather, "he's been having a dialogue with the American people," says O'Donnell, one of about 70 staffers who have been hired to help Dean have his dialogue with the American people. She confirms that Dean plans to formally announce his candidacy today.


Those of you lucky enough to actually attend in person, please do share your experiences and impressions with the rest of us!

Publicly claiming to be homosexual in a Muslim country usually equals death. So why is it that rarely does one hear the homosexual community here in America speaking out against Muslim countries? Am I missing something here?

Five Things Dean Supporters Can Do Right Now to Fight Terrorism

By Anonymous -
Or: how I stopped worrying and learned to support the spread of democracy in the Middle East. Hello, Dean Nation! The incomparable Aziz P. has kindly invited me to post here in addition to my usual perches at Liberals Against Terrorism and Chez Nadezhda . For that, I thank him, and I hope that I do him credit. Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
