As Seen on ZB!

By Anonymous -
Greetings Dean Nationals! First, I'm so thrilled that Heath has picked up the Backbone Award and ran with it -- I just wanted to move on and do some other things at Dean Nation, and I'm also busy with changes at Points West and a groovy new project, coming soon. Rather than a standard Open Thread, I thought I'd try out As Seen on ZB! -- a "best of" your links from the ZonkBoard, and a place to discuss them.

SEA OF SOULS: Steve Wicklund points us to this must-read from Daily Kos, The battle for the soul of the Democratic Party:
It is no secret that the Democratic Party has been split into two factions -- the "insiders" who have run the party the past decade, and the Howard Dean/Joe Trippi "reformer" faction. The New Republic's Ryan Lizza has had some of the best coverage of the primary campaign, and has an eye-opening and extremely important look at this growing rift.
MOVING CONTINENTS: Dean and Alan in CA note this article from The Nation about two Swedish students who have created a website called Democracy Aid '04 that is asking every person in the European Union to send MoveOn.org one dollar to help defeat Bush! Heeheehee.

CLARK IN GENERAL: Video clip of Wes Clark from FOX News via Niner (and Kos) -- scroll down to the pic of Clark with the headline "Setting the Record Straight." As Niner states: "clarkies think it's favorable of course but i think it shows the pressure is getting to him. i applaud the message he's trying to get through, though." I concur, but they say that Dean comes unhinged? Wow. Also, via Barb this Clark/Dean Article from Mother Jones titled Where's Wesley?

AT THE RACES: A Kerry jab by Lukovich over at Points West.

Enjoy, the floor is yours....

Gay Saudi Arabia

By Dignan -
I found this very interesting new item about a suspected gay wedding in Saudi Arabia. While there are some who think that the United States is obsessed with sex and is stridently homophobic, nothing can compare with Muslim attitudes towards homosexuals. 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
