Don't worry, Cindy Sheehan has jumped the shark for me, as I hope she has for others, but I did find this interesting enough to post about. Through my referrer logs, I found a commenter at the Conservative Underground BBS noting:

Notice the link change under, "Related Organizations", between the cached page and the new page: The Gold Star Mothers of America Cached page went to original Gold Star Mothers. New page goes to Cindy Shehans, Gold Star Mothers for Peace.

So sometime between Saturday, when the page was cached, and Sunday afternoon when I saved a copy of the code (but before I had made my post), the CPH changed their link from the mainstream, but decidedly non-political, American Gold Star Mothers, who are clearly trying to stay clear of the circus...

Cindy Sheehan is currently in the news. She and her organization have no connection whatever with American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. We are a 501 C(3) organization and, as such, do not engage in political activities. We do support our troops. After all, they are our children.

...to Cindy Sheehan's own Gold Star Families for Peace, which takes a decidedly different tone:

...George Bush said speaking about the dreadful loss of life in Iraq in August: (08/03/05): "We have to honor the sacrifices of the fallen by completing the mission." "The families of the fallen can be assured that they died for a noble cause."

In reaction to these two asinine and hurtful statements, members of Gold Star Families for Peace (GSFP) are going to George's vacation home in Crawford, Tx this Saturday, August 6th at 11:00 am to confront him on these two statements.

1) We want our loved ones sacrifices to be honored by bringing our nation's sons and daughters home from the travesty that is Iraq IMMEDIATELY, since this war is based on horrendous lies and deceptions. Just because our children are dead, why would we want any more families to suffer the same pain and devastation that we are.

2) We would like for him to explain this "noble cause" to us and ask him why Jenna and Barbara are not in harm's way, if the cause is so noble.

3) If George is not ready to send the twins, then he should bring our troops home immediately. We will demand a speedy withdrawal...

Take it as you will.

Lets not forget her anti-Israel remarks too. You don't find that in the MSM! Links on my blog. Nice site, cool graphics

OH yeahn I linked you on my site. Good luck.

The National Council of Churches has endorsed Cindy Sheehan

Why am I not surprised?

Yes, sadly predictable.

BTW, thank you Libraryguy.

3) If George is not ready to send the twins, then he should bring our troops home immediately. We will demand a speedy withdrawal...

Interesting thing about children:

As soon as thaey are old enough to be "sent," parents not longer have the power to "send" them.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.

3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...

4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.

It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

5) Enjoy your stay!
