Dean: The Remixes
I think the media attention paid to Dean's barbaric yawp is ridiculous, but how can I pass up sharing this? Many, many remixes based on the Dean Scream. Thus I become PartOfTheProblem.
The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
---
Walt Whitman and Howard Dean--
Two men, one dream.
Howard Dean, a kosmos, of Manhattan the son,
Turbulent, fleshy, sensual, eating, drinking and breeding,
No sentimentalist, no stander above men and women or apart from them,
no more modest than immodest.
Unscrew the lcoks from the doors!
Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs!
.....
I speak the pass-word primeval, I give the sign democracy,
By God! I wil accept nothing which all cannot have their counterpart of on the same terms.
Ok, I'm convinced. In order to save his candidacy, Howard Dean must grow a shaggy beard and start walking around barefoot quoting poetry. I think that would at least win over the liberal arts professors, who are, as we all know, the most important bloc of swing voters.
Y'know, people, it's not quite as much a display of your erudition when there's an actual link to the reference in the post. Also, you're making me feel left out, since I can only quote the Simpsons.
