Cindy's life...when the troops finally pull out of Iraq...will spiral out. I don't see much time left in her soul as we part from Iraq and she has nothing to whine about. She will end up out in California on some beach and just walk into the surf. I'm sorry I write such a dark ending for her...but she really hasn't shown much of a reason to live.

Well, Cindy's impeach Bush rally had all of about 150 people - and NO major media coverage, even though the offices of two television stations were within a block.

But she did spew some very memorable nonsense:

Cindy Sheehan, I will Live to 1000

Remember HAL,it IS a high crime to disagree with the left.

Absolutely. I was part of the group freeping this rally, and one of them came over and demanded we stop. Free speech for them, not for us.
