WHAT?
I have to laugh. 2 out of 3 people in my office think Kerry beat Bush in Iowa last night. Fortunately, none of them vote.

The Ground Perspective
The last two things I wanted to mention was morale and dealing with loss. The level of morale here in Iraq is a mixed bag. Overall, I think it is moderately high considering the environment, working conditions, and stress soldiers are put under every day. Imagine being a young 19-21 year old lower enlisted soldier with no more than a high school degree being asked to work 100-hour weeks (at least 14 hours a day, seven days a week), in a highly dangerous and
terminally thankless job thousands of miles away from home. It’s tough, but their spirits are holding up well, especially since the 2-week R&R leave program has started. Though troubled by the increases in attacks and body count lately, the troops here are undeterred. If anything, they are more focused. They want nothing more than to do their jobs well and go home safely to their families. It’s inspiring to see, and it’s unfortunate that the vast majority of the American public will never see, or fully appreciate the bravery they exhibit every day.

SCRAPPLEFACE ON DEAN'S SHOWING
Dean to Iowa: 'Shut Up, You Gun-Toting Homophobes'
(2004-01-19) -- With the characteristic charm that earned him the love and respect of roughly 18 percent of Iowa Democrats, presidential candidate Howard Dean bid the state farewell as he stepped onto his private jet tonight.
"Shut up, you gun-toting, God-fearing homophobes," Mr. Dean said to a cheering crowd of Iowa Democrats. "Your caucus is a meaningless exercise dominated by extremist special interests just like I said on Canadian TV years ago."
Mr. Dean's aides said their candidate plans to "ride the wave" of his third-place Iowa finish on to "a decent showing" in New Hampshire.
"We're just so relieved to be out from under the burden of that 'frontrunner' label," said an unnamed Dean aide.

Howie Freaks!
* So John Kerry won the Iowa Caca... but I want Dean! He has so much more humor potential (who wants more Howie and Skeeter?) and was supposed to have a lock on the nomination. Well, it's not over yet; everyone get out there and support angry man Dean. Plus, if he doesn't win the nom, he could hurt someone. Did you see his "concession" speech (a.k.a. "Look how quickly I came name all fifty states and then squeal")? He totally like freaked out, dude. I hope his back is okay.

Our leftist moral and intellectual superiors...
Oh how loftily they pour well-bred scorn on we mere mortals with our cowboyish unilateralism, or lack of nuance, and our crass insistence that concepts of good and evil actually exist. What withering derision they emit when confronted with our...
