The Dean Scream

"GENIUS DOES WHAT IT MUST, BUT TALENT DOES WHAT IT CAN."
--Owen Meredith (Lord Lytton)

Sitting in Starbucks reading Symonds articles and working on my syllabus... A group of men sitting behind me are talking about the Howard Dean speech and their mid-life crises. They thing Dean is a "loose cannon"-- too angry, arrogant and leftist.

But my B doesn't think Dean is really that far left at all! So, who is right? I guess it doesn't matter. I've pretty much decided that he's not my candidate.

Anyway, I am sleepy-- still run down from my strep throat, I guess. It feels like I've been here forever... It's going to be a really long day today before I end up in Florida tonight!
