BRUNSWICK, Maine --Peace activist Cindy Sheehan won't be protesting The Great State of Maine Air Show featuring the Navy's Blue Angels after all.
Sheehan planned to be on hand Saturday to join local peace activists, but she chose instead to go to Atlanta to join a bus caravan that grew out of her protest at President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, said her spokeswoman, Andrea Buff.

Aug 30 3:58 AM***BRUNSWICK, Maine The woman leading protests against President Bush's conduct of the Iraq war will protest a Blue Angels air show in Brunswick, Maine, next month.
Bruce Gagnon (GAHNG'-yuhn) of Maine Veterans for Peace says Cindy Sheehan will be the featured guest at a protest outside the Brunswick Naval Air Station on September tenth.
Sheehan, whose son Casey died in Iraq, camped outside the president's Central Texas ranch a month ago to demand a meeting with him. The Vacaville, California, woman hasn't gotten an audience, but she attracted a lot of support. She's promised to carry her protest to Washington and beyond after Bush goes back to work.
Bush has said he sympathizes with Sheehan's loss, but thinks it would dishonor the soldiers who gave their lives in Iraq to pull out before the job is done.***

On another thread it said she wasn't going to Colorado either.
cindy who?
Crazy Cindy's Circus... The show must go on????
It was an extended 15 minutes, but her time is up.
Andrea Buff?
Thanks. I didn't see that.
Fading fast.
May Casey finally be able to rest in peace.
I agree. I have paid no attention to this lady. I don't know her story. I am amazed that this news item still has legs. I think it was persisted only because of the 24/7 need for news stories. But Katrina is on news now. So Cindy is really unimportant.
HA HA HA HA
GO HOME CINDY
With guys like Chris Duncan on our side, all will be well!
Do you mean Cindy "Boo hoo, I'm not on the front page anymore" Sheehan?
Good to finally see our side get some press.
Is she still around???? I thought she crawled in a hole somewhere....
Sean Penn's rescue bid sinks From correspondents in New Orleans 05sep05
EFFORTS by Hollywood actor Sean Penn to aid New Orleans victims stranded by Hurricane Katrina foundered badly overnight, when the boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak.
Penn had planned to rescue children waylaid by Katrina's flood waters, but apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water within seconds of its launch.
The actor, known for his political activism, was seen wearing what appeared to be a white flak jacket and frantically bailing water out of the sinking vessel with a red plastic cup.
When the boat's motor failed to start, those aboard were forced to use paddles to propel themselves down the flooded New Orleans street.
Asked what he had hoped to achieve in the waterlogged city, the actor replied: "Whatever I can do to help."
With the boat loaded with members of Penn's entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"***
In a more sensible society not crippled by decades of liberalism, Ms. Sheehan would be quietly whisked away to a mental facility for evaluation.
There's always that dreaded 16th minute of your 15 minutes of fame.
honey, your 15 minutes are long over, the curtain has closed. Now go do something constructive with the rest of your life, like getting rid of that super annoying valley girl accent.
