Howard Dean: "If we accept federal matching funds, our spending will be capped at $45 million -- and the greatest grassroots movement in the history of presidential politics will be stopped from raising money almost immediately and will reach the spending limit well before the end of the primaries. We will not have any funding until the Democratic convention at the end of July."   Jim Moore: "The Dean community has already raised nearly enough money to qualify for matching funds. Unless the community decides to move forward without federal funds, they must stop giving now, and return any money raised that goes beyond the cap." Roger Simon asks the question they should have asked last night. "Which candidate would you most like to have smoked dope with?" He gets the correct answer.  When people ask why you read Scripting News, now you can tell them. The new servers arrived. Murphy-willing they'll be deployed and online in a few days. Chris Lydon: The Blogging of the President 2004. Chris gave a presentation at the NextMedia conference in Prince Edward Island. I took pictures. I was playing with the settings on my digital camera with an interesting result. Jay Rosen: "How dumb should an ombudsman assume Americans to be? NPR's Jeffrey Dvorkin forces us to ask that. His answer: very dumb indeed." Essay: "Candidates should use weblogs instead of becoming one." BBC reports that MTV is preparing an online music system I took the political compass test. I'm a leftist libertarian. Check out how the Presidential candidates rated. Greenspun: Should universities permit free speech? PRSA: Pitching Blogs. Andrew Grumet's new Weblog Outliner for Movable Type.  A funny thing happened -- I don't like Starbuck's anymore. Too strong. Is it because the nicotine is finally flushed out of my system? Yesterday I bought a can of Chock full o' Nuts coffee, and it's just fantastic coffee. Lovin it. And get this, I got the pre-ground kind, because it's too much of a hassle to grind my own beans. Maybe it's the west coast Reality Distortion Field flickering off. I think I'm officially an east coaster again? But people keep asking me if I was here last winter. Heh. It comes and goes. Yesterday I had a badly infected tooth pulled, one that had been causing a lot of discomfort that I just lived with, and then started hurting, then the pain became unbearable. Remove the tooth. I feel great! All these horizons open up. It's all relative. Moods swing. Tah dah.
