sleep cycle
i didnt catch deans iowa concession speech the other night but they were braying about it on charlie rose last night. sounds like more bs to me. this dean as angry thing -- didnt they pin that on mccain too. if only they were even keeled and compassionate like our fearless leader. oh yeah, nice job with the rebuttal last night, so soothing and without rancor. its like youre not even there at all.

registering imperceptions
anybody have any thoughts on iowa? im wondering why kucinichs people threw their support to edwards. i think dean and gephardt had "gone negative" in ads against the either so gephardts people going to edwards or kerry makes sense. but one would think that kucinich and dean would have more in common. the link heads to billmons latest. he still has a ready supply of kool aid.
...and ill set you free
the final list of nominees for the 2004 bloggies are up. looks uninteresting as usual. maybe dmtree needs to create its own awards so other people can say our taste in blogs is shit. (add category listings in comments) anybody have a name for the awards? The Golden Bough? Bow? The Bow Wows?
keepin' it surreal
the iowa caucus results might seem surreal but for the real fake deal one must turn on the tv and watch the wbs The Surreal Life. i wouldnt bother to even mention the show except for the presence of pornstar ron jeremy. how is it again that pornstars have almost crept up the ladder of legitimacy in the eyes of corporate america. obviously the answer is money as the companies that control the info pipelines make fat bank from porn-per-view. and as a result we now see pornstar exploits inching into the mainstream, into realm of sanctified celebrity culture.
oh yeah. it turns out ron jeremy is the most articulate person on the show. im not sure of what that is an indictment but someone assuredly should be put away for it.

workingmens blues

"The Guardian reports that Britain's Katherine Gunn may face two years in prison for whistleblowing on American dirty tricks at the United Nations. She made public a memo that reveals US intentions to spy on the UN delegations of the six "swing vote" nations in the run-up to a vote on the Iraq war."

shed his grace
"(AP) The federal government is planning to overhaul its employee drug testing program to include scrutiny of workers' hair, saliva and sweat, a shift that could spur more businesses to revise screening for millions of their own workers."
