Throughout the winter, Republicans could point to Dean's candid and bracing performances on the stump and say, This is what the Democrats are really all about. They are the party of peaceniks; they mistrust the military; they are not tough enough to protect America. This analysis was both right and wrong. In February, Dean did set the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting afire, but the reaction of the party faithful to Dean was no different from the Republican faithful's wild enthusiasm for red-meat orators like Alan Keyes and Pat Buchanan in years past.

...principles: there is no One Big Dramatic Thing you can do to fix the economy, but you probably have to do something to nudge the country out of the current rut. The "security" theme might work nicely here. Universal health insurance is a form of security. Spending more to protect Americans from terrorism is another.

Screenwriter Petr Jarchovsky, a high school classmate of Hrebejk's who wrote all of his features, puts it this way: "We all knew how evil the system...
Beyond their misguided attempt to protect students, the Cambridge Licensing Commission made their decision hastily, and University officials did not even know about it. If the Commission indeed failed to notify the school of its decision, it was an extraordinarily sneaky move. After all, it was only after Mather HoCo tried to apply for another permit that the decision was revealed. A change that so immediately affects undergraduate life should not be made without adequate discussion. The Commission should have instead consulted the University to work towards a compromise whereby houses are forced to follow adequate safety procedures and more...
