There was a great moment on Howard Stern's premier on Sirius this morning.  About an hour ago, Stern had a press conference (even Keith Olbermann was there), and one of the final questions was about the limits of indecency and what Stern found indecent.  

Stern said he felt it was indecent that soldiers were sent to Iraq without proper equipment.  He felt it was indecent that Bush lied to get us into war.  He said it was indecent that gay people, who should have every right to live their lives openly in this country, do not have every civil right that straight people have.  He said it was indecent when religious organizations complain about sex in the media and then sweep molestation under the rug by relocating clergy to other parishes.  I am sure I am missing something in my paraphrasing, but it was a great moment.

Of course the boob of a reporter followed up by asking, "But what about bodily functions?"  Stern followed up by saying it was indecent that we were so hung up on bodily functions.  

Well it came from a single survey in the National Journal which looked at a single year of voting (2003) and which only included votes handpicked by National Journal editors.

Below are some thoughts on last night's meetup, the state of the Dean campaign, and my involvement in it.  I posted it on my blog this morning, but thought I'd share it here as well...

With a heavy heart, I headed out to Dean MeetUp last night. Honestly, I went out of morbid curiosity more than anything else. That and the fact that I still need to return about 25 folding chairs to someone (Bill, if you're out there drop me a line). Anyway, I cannot believe the difference a month can make. About 5 minutes before 7PM there were only about five people there. By the end of the evening there were twenty or so. We spent a good deal of time venting about the media, the lack of guidance from national, the lack of organization in Iowa, and even the way Dean has conducted himself throughout the last month. Several people had been to Iowa and/or New Hampshire and the talked about what they experienced. Not much of it was good. There was a lot of discussion about the futility of visibility-type projects at this point. In fact, one of our campaign coordinators has dropped out of the campaign solely because HQ is still pushing a visibility day this Saturday.

Ha anyone seen this transcript of the "President's" remarks at Nothin' Fancy Cafe?

Who's the arrogant candidate in this race again?

Though I have to admit, it was kind of funny.

Just got a page from Dean Wireless...

Dean will be on Letterman tonight.
