Thanks for the ping!
That is really a funny one SmartA!! Saw your pretty post on the Canteen. I wasn't on last night due to a head cold, lol, so I'm catching up!
Thanks Potlatch, and a good evening to you. Linda Eddy is absolutely a great artist. We got in late last night. I'm still tired and catching up on sleep.
I'll bet you are tired! I went to bed early last night and slept late today. It's in the 50's here and windy.
California had the same temp as Arizona, 98. I thought I could catch a cool ocean breeze, but no such luck. Right now it's 88 out in my patio, and the AC just kicked in. I'm going to call it quits myself in about thirty minutes and hit the sack...hard!
We were having temperatures over 100 every day a week ago and then the rain came. Now the cold front and wind. Guess that's how I got what I got!
Nothing like that ever happens here. If it's not hot, it's usually hotter, if not hotter, then, hotter than hot! Yep, sharp temperature swings will make your nose run.
Linda Eddy has outdid herself again! That is SCARY!! ;-}
Are those the preferred drink and snack of Canadians?
Perhaps Timbits.
Alright, Backbacon and Molson's.
I think Ted should understand that we all understand she is a known commodity just like Maddona or Paris Hilton, therefore the letter.

Dear Governor Kulongoski:
Very soon you will receive a letter from Cindy Sheehan demanding you exercise your full authority for the immediate withdrawal of Oregon National Guard troops from Iraq. Your answer will be evaluated with much care and attention. Let me explain.
Sometime after the first meeting with George Bush, Cindy Sheehan exchanged identity as a gold star mother for victim status. She reshaped Caseys former identity as Eagle Scout, model Christian young man, and twice Army volunteer into that of a bewildered, ignorant, gullible, adolescent victim. She can now quote the stream of consciousness that says George Bush is the liar who murdered her son for oil, Middle East imperialism, and a Neo-Con agenda supporting Israel, and who should be impeached, though hiding behind the propaganda of a mainstream press and an unverifiable voting system, before he changes this country into a fascist state. Her prominence in the anti-war movement comes just as people in Hollywood and on campus do not seem to be getting the traction needed for their rhetoric. By the way, the other side is not the pro-war movement, but sees the rapidly spreading Wahhabi jihadism heresy as such a severe, immediate world crisis, that armed force must remain on a continuum of diplomacy to effectively confront this generational conflict.
These transformations also aid the social policies of Cindys supporting organizations by marginalizing the routine displays of courage, endurance, and costly compassion of our armed forces members and their families. Such aspects of human character must remain curious, rare, and even tragic for success in debates over policy initiatives, which opponents contend foster feeble expectations and perpetuate dependent constituencies.
As people become ever more aware of her political activist identity, the decision for politicians is whether to be seen identifying with her and the many agendas of her sponsoring organizations, because people will make the association.
Sincerely,
Nolan Nelson
