In other news, I'm finally listening to Rush's Monday show. He says that Cindy Sheehan's Web site is taking in $25 grand a day in "donations."

The last I heard, she claims on her site that she's a 501(c)3 org. but she hasn't filed the paperwork yet. Another irony of the far left. They hate capitalism; I guess they must feel it's more noble to find ways to sell their souls.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And we thank our veterans for their service to America.
