Sacramento, CA (AP) -- A saga that began in the cauldron of California's counterculture and took a dramatic turn in a quiet middle class neighborhood in Minnesota is about to come to an end.

Sara Jane Olson, a 1970s radical who became a fugitive after attempting to kill Los Angeles police officers and participating in a deadly bank robbery near Sacramento, is scheduled to be released from a California prison next week.

Her bid for freedom after serving seven years is not ending quietly.

. . .

Police leagues in Los Angeles and Minnesota are objecting to having her paroled to Minnesota.

I’m sure Bill Ayers and wifey will take her in.

Here come the million dollar book deals and college speaking tours.

Feh, the article should be about Ayres and the fact they're releasing him

I guess Obama won’t have to go far to find someone to pen the foreword to his next book.

[SERKIT]

Another “guilty as hell, free as a bird” moment. Is she an FOB (Friend of Barry)? Maybe she’ll ghost-write a book for a future President.

Bets on which Ivy League University gives her a professorship?

I sure there a Cabinet Post waiting for her.

Myrna Opsahl never got a homecoming.

Just in time for an appointment to Obama Hussein’s cabinet.

Jon Opsahl helped badger Sacramento prosecutors into finally filing charges against Olson

Badger? What filth from the SF Chron. Next time I hope it's a reporter/editor/publisher's family member. (not really, I don't wish terrorism on anyone. But it makes my point)

Just in time for a job with 0bama.

"Bets on which Ivy League University gives her a professorship?"

My thoughts too. She's definately qualified. Maybe she can take over from Angela Davis who is now 65 years old.

Angela gets paid big bucks for doing nothing but being Black. Just like Obama.

Will she live in the Whitey House?

Absolutely! That is Patty Hearst — I remember all of that mess all too well!

[sionnsar]

Sara Jane Olsen is Patty Hearst?

[3catsanadog]

And the country’s universities and colleges are lined up at the prison gates, money in hand, to entice her to come to their institution and be a professor!
