Where's Cindy?
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy... get along home....

War protester Cindy Sheehan has purchased a 5-acre plot in Crawford with some of the insurance money she received after her son was killed in Iraq.
The group she helps lead, Gold Star Families for Peace, says on its Web site that it will return next month to protest the war in Iraq in the small town near Waco where President Bush has a ranch. Like last year, Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in Iraq in 2004, will again demand to meet with the president.
"We decided to buy property in Crawford to use until George's resignation or impeachment, which we all hope is soon for the sake of the world," Sheehan said in a newsletter set to be sent to supporters Thursday. "I can't think of a better way to use Casey's insurance money than for peace, and I am sure that Casey approves."
Her anti-war gathering in Crawford is scheduled for Aug. 16 through Sept. 2. But Bush is scheduled to be at his ranch mainly during the first two weeks of August.
Sheehan, from California, reinvigorated the anti-war movement last summer with her peace vigil, which started in ditches off the road to Bush's ranch. As it grew, the group also set up its protests on a private, 1-acre lot closer to the ranch.
Reinvigorated? Like the whole 1000 people that turned out for the anti-war protests here in DC earlier this year? Or maybe the 600 in San Francisco? Please.
Just go home.

I would suggest Cindy "[j]ust go home", too...
...as soon as you just stop being a partisan.

I wonder how the county has that land zoned. See, if she's out protesting by the side of the road, that's an expression of free speech. However, if she is on her property and using it for things other than which it is zoned they can force her to stop.

Cindy Sheehan and all her cohorts have a vastly inflated sense of their own importance and influence. They are pesky little gnats at best and have absolutely zero effect on American policy. And for that we can thank God and George W. Bush.
You are defined by the company you keep and Cindy hangs with the Code Pink crazies, Jesse Jackson (one of the most meretricious humans on this planet), Al Sharpton and most egregious HUGO CHAVEZ.
Someone in her family really should send out the man with the butterfly net to scoop her up and restrain her from further self-destruction.
