Cindy Sheehan, American Hero

Today in Crawford, Texas, there are thunderstorms, the high will be 87 degrees, and relative humidity is 94%. Our President will probably be air-conditioned and certainly under shelter. Cindy Sheehan, mother of a soldier killed last year in Baghdad, is camping outside W's gate waiting to talk with him about his war. She and her friends have been warned that they will be deemed a threat to national security and arrested if they have not left by Thursday.

Whether you agree with Cindy or not, surely you will concede that she has paid a greater price for "fighting the terrorists over there" than most of the rest of us. By the way, my new favorite blogger has several links to information about Cindy. Good reading. Green Dog Democrat is welcome to write on my blog and immediately invited to serve on the Board of Jackleg Thinktank.
