Saint Cindy
August 7th, 2006 | by Todd W |Cindy Sheehan is back.
Under the blazing Texas sun, Sheehan and more than 50 demonstrators again marched a mile and a half toward Bush’s ranch, stopping at a roadblock. As Secret Service agents stood silently, Sheehan held up her California driver’s license and said she wanted to meet with the president.
“It doesn’t say my new address, but I do live here now,” said Sheehan, who lives in Berkeley, Calif., and recently bought land in Crawford for war protests. “My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son.”
On one hand, I’m sympathetic for this poor woman’s loss. Burying a child is unimaginable.
But enough is a freakin’nough!
She’s lost her son, her husband, her family, and the better part of her mind. And the anti-war crowd seems perfectly content to capitalize on her anguish for their cause. The very worst of this whole, sorry charade will be seen a few months after Bush is out of office and Cindy’s phone falls quiet. Where will she be when she’s no longer useful and all of this attention and adoration dries up?
I really feel sorry for her. If any of her family still loves her, they really need to inject themselves into this mess.

Wow, this got me thinking, a world without Bush and Blair on their thrones. Nah, it’ll never happen.
I wonder who will come to power after these guys. And more importantly, how will they use the very extensive powers that these guys have been busy gathering?
