You know, I'm morally opposed to war. However, I'm even more morally opposed to sitting around and doing nothing while others are being enslaved and murdered. I'm also more morally opposed to sitting around and doing nothing while tyrants attempt to enslave and/or murder me or my loved ones.

Sometimes one has to make a choice among those things to which one is morally opposed.

Vacaville/Solano County is just above the SF Bay so I doubt that she is a dean at the USC Law School. But who knows? The way people move around in California...

I don't believe her son was married. If he elected "by law" then would not she receive it?

Frankly, I'm not sure, now. I know in 2001/2002 -- immediate family (wives, husbands, childrens) were recipients of the basic (paid for by the military) ins policy. And that if you wished, to include others outside the immediate, you had to purchase a wee bit (yourself) of insurance.

We are talking about his mother getting his insurance benefits, right?

Yes.

[Redleg Duke]

She is demented. It is pathetic, but she is drinking her own bath water now!

[Alia]

It's possible the "insurance" naming on core-basic military supplied "benefits" has changed since when. But, the extra "policy" purchase -- it's a little bit for a substantial payoff in occurrence of death. Can't help ya, here, with solid knowledge on the current situation.

Well I'll tell you fine folks what *I* think will happen to Cindy Sheehan, when she finally realizes that she has arrived at Minute 16 (after using up her 15 minutes), and that nobody is going to pay her any more attention, when the IRS just treats her like any non-filer, and the cameras and microphones have moved on to more current events, she will decide that only by taking her own life, will she draw the world's attention to her cause, and I predict that she will show up either outside of the Crawford Ranch of President Bush, or perhaps at the White House gate (if she can manage it), and she will proceed to pour gasoline all over herself and then light the match, in a nostalgic emulation of the immolation that a handful of Buddhist Vietnamese monks engaged in, way back in old Saigon, and like those monks learned (albeit too late), it won't make a tinker's damn worth of difference.

Hey Cindy? Can we call you CINDERrella?

[Godebert]

"she will proceed to pour gasoline all over herself and then light the match"

She doesn't have the balls for that. More likely she'll just eat a bottle of sleeping pills or something cowardly like that.

Cindy Sheehan has gone around the bend.

She's making mistake after mistake and it's going to
cost her, the IRS sheds no tears.

[patriciamary]

It would be great,if the Bush administration listed the terrorists that have been killed in Iraq, and their role in terror.Then put the terrorist that was on TV recently next to Ted Kennedy and the Shi-t that comes out of his mouth.Their words are the same.Then asked who is protecting Americans and who is helping the terrorists?This women is a nut case,I have no pity for her.I am sick of this ,Republicans better speak out because the uninformed public believes that shi_!!

[Miss Marple]

Could this be something as simple as making enough of a fuss that the IRS would back off, not wishing to be charged with political revenge?

It seems odd to me that she is ranting about taxes and telling them to come get her, when she knows she owes a bunch of back taxes.

Being the pragmatic person that I am, I think that she is using this whole thing to avoid being jailed for tax avoidance.

[AppyPappy]

Strangely, terrorists killed her son and she just can't find it in her heart to blame them. I guess you don't get attention blaming terrorists for killing people anymore.

She'a just a pawn in someone's game. She'll wake up in prison and say "Wait a minute".

[Pharmboy]

She should read about Gordon Kahl.

Tomorrows' Headlines: Sheehan to hold breathe until the President pays attn. to her.

Subheadline: Blue now considered an attactive shade of skin for middle aged women.

[Dat]

The obsession continues.....

[Miss Marple]

Apparently the plot thickens. There was a witness to her meeting with the President. Please check out this post by jtill: e-mail to Melanie Morgan

I think that she is using this whole thing to avoid being jailed for tax avoidance.

That's very possible - I worked with someone who filed bogus sexual harassment charges against another co-worker to avoid being fired for incompetence/attendance issues. He kept his job for another six months.

""I honestly think this woman needs professional help. She's totally off the "deep end". I'm sorry for her loss and I'm sure her son would be embarrassed to see her acting like this.""


How do you know this?
Do you know her son?
Are you a Psychologist?

Bold statements from someone who knows nothing.

[Republican Wildcat]

It's all connected - her and Joe Wilson and the Dems
