“You are so, like, in contempt!”

”Lighten up, dude!”

[Army Air Corps]

Now, THAT is damned funny! I can't stop chuckling. I can visualise a verbal exchange like that ocurring.

[Victoria Delsoul]

where did that last quote come from?

The president of Gold Star Families for Peace, a mother who lost a son in Iraq, criticized the United States' "illegal and unjust war" yesterday during an interfaith rally in Lexington.

Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, Calif., accused President Bush of lying to the nation about a war which has consumed tens of billions of dollars and claimed more than 1,700 American lives -- including the life of Army Specialist Casey Austin Sheehan.

Sheehan was one of more than a dozen activists who were scheduled to speak at yesterday's anti-war rally at the Red Mile, which was organized by the Clergy and Laity Network and co-sponsored by dozens of liberal religious organizations.

Sheehan ridiculed Bush for saying that it's "hard work" comforting the widow of a soldier who's been killed in Iraq.

"Hard work is seeing your son's murder on CNN one Sunday evening while you're enjoying the last supper you'll ever truly enjoy again. Hard work is having three military officers come to your house a few hours later to confirm the aforementioned murder of your son, your first-born, your kind and gentle sweet baby. Hard work is burying your child 46 days before his 25th birthday. Hard work is holding your other three children as they lower the body of their big (brother) into the ground. Hard work is not jumping in the grave with him and having the earth cover you both," she said.

Since her son's death, Sheehan has made opposition to the Bush administration a full-time job.

"We're watching you very carefully and we're going to do everything in our power to have you impeached for misleading the American people," she said, quoting a letter she sent to the White House. "Beating a political stake in your black heart will be the fulfillment of my life ... ," she said, as the audience of 200 people cheered.

The "Freedom and Faith Bus Tour" -- which brought Sheehan to Lexington, has already visited New York, Chicago and Indianapolis. The next stops include Columbus, Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

Other speakers included state Rep. Kathy Stein, D-Lexington, Clergy and Laity Network executive director Rev. Albert Pennybacker of Lexington, Kentucky Council of Churches executive director Nancy Jo Kemper and Baptist Seminary of Kentucky Professor Glenn Hinson.

Quoting scripture and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hinson suggested the nation is greedy and morally bankrupt and warned that America's fear of terrorism is excessive and unhealthy. Denouncing "fear that immobilizes, fear that causes you to lash out mindlessly, fear that prompts a nation to launch a preemptive strike against an imagined enemy, fear in excess," Hinson said, "Only God's love can bring that kind of fear under control."

We hate it when they do this stuff to us, why do we want to get into this?

I agree. Let's meet her where she is right now, on a political level. Leave the personal stuff out of it.

I've taught college English. I'd be thrilled if my students had used words like "dissolution" but more often than not it was words like "kid".

And I think this issue is relevant only because Sheehan has cloaked herself in the image that her immediate family is united behind her.

[Miss Marple]

Thank you. I found it myself. I am now willing to accept that this is accurate.

However, I must say that their phrasing ("without kids") seems to me to be very unprofessional.

How odd that this was filed on Friday.

[GoLightly]

I guess they've been separated for some time & he may have found out that some of the things she's been doing could have some financial liabilities. With joint marital property laws, the only way he can distance himself from them is to divorce her.

[Valin]

Sheehan told a reporter for an Austin, Texas, newspaper that she and her husband, Patrick, have separated but said, "We both are handling our grief differently,' according to the newspaper.


My husband has decided to mourn privately, I OTOH have decided to make a complete fool of myself in front of the whole world so that I can get my 15 mins. of fame.

[libsl]

Or he suspects malfeasance on the part of her nonprofit organization (anyone remember the Rainbow Coalition?) and he is bailing because he wants no part of it.

That would be one of the potential financial liabilities I was talking about. There could be more. She said she wasn't going to pay taxes this year. Even though the couple is seperated, the state & the feds could come after him for her taxes.

[libsl]

Maybe he's realized for some time that her screws were coming loose. He had to have had the divorce in the pipeline for some time, but I wonder if he pushed to have it scheduled now when she is in the spotlight, or if the attorneys are just doing things as they get the paperwork processed.
How much sayso would he have on the date? Or could he have told the attorney not to do it this week for fear of embarassing and upstaging her (assuming he was actually in her corner as she claims)?

Caveat lector

Is this the latin term for "Barf Alert?"

Slapping together paperwork doesn't take very long. Initial filings are simple. His county has the form on-line, where you answer a few questions, push a few buttons, line up the paper in your printer & you have the forms ready for filing.

How much sayso would he have on the date?

He would have control over it, though if his case was put in the mail, he'd have a little bit less control over the exact date.

Or could he have told the attorney not to do it this week for fear of embarassing and upstaging her (assuming he was actually in her corner as she claims)?

Most likely, he met a law clerk from his attorney's office at the courthouse & the clerk walked him through the filing. They prolly didn't figure this would go public this soon. If this whole ugly mess were me, I'd expect for that shoe to drop when she gets served...

Having been divorced, I can attest to it being not uncommon for lawyers to arrange to file things on fridays, before holidays, etc. In fact I was hit with filings on the day of my second marriage.

"Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action" :)

Any time a lawyer can ruin your weekend, don't be surprised if he takes advantage of the opportunity.

[Tom Thumbs]

I am not a lawyer, but from my own personal experience, unless things have changed, in California civil suits, for out of state defendants, the plaintiff can simply mail the papers to the defendant, and after a certain number of days, the court will accept the papers as being filed. Doesn't even require certified mail, as I recall. Struck me as pretty sloppy rules at the time, since a bona fide "lost in the mail" would result in a denial of due process ("IMO"), but that's how I remember it happening at the time.

[Aliska]

That could be. You'd think they'd at least send them certified, return receipt requested. Things will probably get very ugly before this is over.

Sad to see a whole family get torn apart over this. Divorces often happen after the loss of a child, but there are very extenuating circumstances with this one.

[Jet Jaguar]

thanks Howlin.

[boxerblues]

What relevance does this have as to why she's in Crawford now?

Because Cindy is a liar about everything.

Normal Life Over for Protesting Mother (Sheehan Virgin Birth! It's a miracle!)

Read the last sentence very carefully,she has claimed numerous times that her beloved Casey was virgin, she now claims he had twins, miracle birth maybe but highly unlikely. She is using Casey insurance benefits to fund her vendetta, where is her compassion that money should be going to her grandchildren.

[unsycophant]

This was just filed August 12. Maybe her husband reached his breaking point since the stunt in TX. "Mother Sheehan" does not seem to have responded (yet). Surely some kind lawyer will take on her divorce case and help her get rid of the baggage (her family) that's holding her back.
