Joe's Wild Ride
The first sign of trouble wasn't Howard Dean telling that poor old man in Iowa to sit down and shut up, or Howard Dean instructing the reporters traveling with him on the day of the caucus to "get a new life," or even Howard Dean growling like a rabid wolverine onstage. It was Trippi. Trippi was too calm. Joe Trippi doesn't do calm.

Making fun of Passion for our blogging?
I am by no means a Howard Dean fan, but I am offended by how the media and others are making fun of his speech the other night. Shouldn't we all be that excited about our life's work? I mean his job right now is trying to become president. Think about how much work defines us. When you meet a stranger in a bar, on the street, in an airplane and they ask what you do, you answer with your job description. Though you may be a mother, father, lover, poet, you still answer with your work. Let's all answer with passion. Let's get swept up by the idea of 'what we want to be' is exciting. If others make fun, as Gordon MacKenzie said, they are trying to shame us. Shame on them!
