Howard Dean to Guest Blog for Lawrence Lessig

Ethanol writes "Starting Monday, Professor Lawrence Lessig (whom we all remember from Eldred v. Ashcroft) is going on vacation, and his weblog will be guest-hosted by Democratic presidential candidate Governor Howard Dean. Could this be a sign that a serious contender for President (tied for first for the nomination in the latest polls) has his head screwed on right about copyright law?"

Kucinich is an unelectable nutcase

[Doktor Servo]

If anyone in the Democratic field is an unelectable nutcase, it's Dennis Kucinich. He's pretty well bonkers. Dean seems pretty well-grounded. I like his issue positions and think he's a viable candidate. If he gets the nomination, he'll need a running mate with strong foreign policy skills; if Kerry places second, he's a good choice, or maybe Wesley Clark. Kerry's too cold, and Gephardt is too much a career politician. I'm going with Dean.

"And it is none of your goddamned fucking business, you hypocritical, amoral, lecherous, power-hungry lying fuckers. Get off my back. Shut the fuck up. I'm trying to kill Osama bin Laden, whom you claim is not a problem. I don't have time for this unbelieveable bullshit."

-- what Clinton should have said.

yet here the reasons for the Iraq war are being systematically deconstructed, and no-one seems to give a damn

So I guess we should cover up all of those mass graves, put all those children back in prison, get Chemical Ali back into the lab, get those torture racks greased, throw all of those 'Big Brother Saddam' pictures back up in Baghdad, and leave a fruit basket with a letter of apology. You're right...we are indeed in the Twilight Zone.

What a crazy world we live in where a guy who's chief sin is being a conservative is demonized more than a man who has murdered 100s of thousands of innocent people who simply disagreed with him. You leftist lemmings were all chiming in with you "What did he know and when did he know it?" garbage post-9/11. The CIA came forward that they had some very vague information and reactionaries like yourself screamed that they should have figured it all out and kept 9/11 from happening. Now you are pissed that the CIA and our president moved based on information that wasn't 100% complete.

You sound partisan, bitter, and illogical. You and your ilk have offered nothing but criticism. No solutions. Just pissing and moaning. You have built your platform on the hopes that the United States will fail in its endeavours. That is disgusting.

I mean really, why should we give a damn. It's still blatant speculation, just like the speculation that this would be "another Vietname" and "a quagmire". People that think just like you have been wrong over and over again, so many times, but you still get up and scream this same bullshit at the top of your lungs. That's what people should be giving a damn about.

The fact is, the United States had moral, legal, and political justification for removing Saddam Hussein. The world is a safer place for both Americans and Iraqis today than it was a few months ago, and it cost fewer lives than anyone estimated. A people who have experienced oppression you will NEVER comprehend are now free. I'll never forget the images of those Iraqis beating that Saddam statue with the shoes off of their feet. It's a shame you have forgotten, or maybe you never opened your eyes up enough to see.

Why is Dean even bothering to run?

You know he's never going to be able to beat Al Sharpton for the nomination...
