The main point of this article seemed to be that the Dean campaign is a great way to pick up a new chick when your old one dumps you. It didn't have much of anything to say about Dean, as far as I could see, except that he is attracting love-lorn computer geeks.

The poor Old Gray Lady has been running some really dumb stories lately. What's gotten into her? Am I going to have to cancel my subscription and switch to the WSJ?
