I honestly thought her 15 minutes were up quite a while ago. She had long since gone off my radar. Not having TV, it is an easy thing for me to enforce.
Cindy, your upset and soreness have nothing to do with your inability to think straight.
Its your mind! Its mush. Go back to Chavez.
Cindy Sheehan = George Castanza
Reminds me of the Seinfeld 'cleaning lady' incident.
George Castanza: Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time.
Of course, the audience understands that George is full of sh!t, as is Ms. Sheehan.
You would think anyone like that would be barred from entering. It's kind of crazy to me.
If she doesn't pay her taxes then she is taking food out of the mouths of poor welfare children who will grow up to be her next poster child. For shame Cindy!
Yep, Cindy, sure, once again everyone but you is lying.
And for those few moments probably raised their viewership 50%.
There's two people with honest motives. /sarcasm>
"Interesting - where did you see this info on Casey's letters?"
The letters were posted here-

Cindy claimed that once Casey left, she never spoke to him again, so she must have forgotten the calls, especially the night call. Casey sounded like a good and decent kid.
" Casey's last letters home
These letters to Casey Sheehan's family were never sent. Military personnel gave them to the family after his death."

"The Beginning"
It was a long ordeal starting out at 1100 Saturday morning. We arrived at the back dock to find out we weren't leaving until 2:30 that afternoon. And so began a lot of waiting around. The married soldiers had their families to see them off, and all I had was a call home the night before. Mom cried her eyes out over the phone, not the first time it happened either.
From the back dock we loaded onto a bus that took us to the iron horse gym, where we did some more waiting and the families had one more chance to say good bye. From there we took another bus to Abrams gym, where we actually did some manifest processing for the flight.
They had a nice setup for us, too. Phones, Internet, video games, food, free stuff and music were all provided prior to the next bus ride to the plane. At 6:30 p.m. Saturday, they formed us up and herded us onto the bus for the plane.
As we loaded the plane, the flight attendants proceeded to tell us we were making a stop in Ireland before we got to Kuwait. Unfortunately for us, we have to stay on the plane while the crew changes and the plane is refueled. We will be landing in Ireland shortly, then on to Kuwait.
We stayed in Ireland for about 4 hours. While we were here, there was also a National Guard unit from Sacramento. I spoke with the sergeant major of that unit and let him know I was from Vacaville.
I also spoke with one of the airport employees. She told me about the country and the different things to do. She also informed me that my family name is well known here. Shortly after that, we boarded the plane for Kuwait which we were informed will take 6 hours and 4 minutes to get there..

Hey Family:
I've finally made to Iraq. Luckily for us, there was no threat to our convoy.
How is everyone doing? I wish I could be home for Jane's graduation.
We should be looking at a pretty smooth year. The unit we are replacing had only two deaths during its time here. Anyway, I didn't think Mom needed to know that. She's already too worried about me being here.
I'm glad I finally got to write. They didn't give us the address until we got to our camp. I'm also glad I got to talk to Mom for a bit about a week ago. She probably doesn't remember because I woke her up.
I had an interesting flight. We flew from Fort Hood to Ireland. We had had 3 1/2-hour layover there. I spent $1.30 for a coke out of a soda machine and got 70 cents back in Eurocoins. I got to speak to one of the employees at the airport. She told me about the country and said that our last name is very well known.
After Ireland we landed in Kuwait ...
That woman needs meds.
