She's baack. . .

Reacting adversely to President Bush's compassion toward "Scooter" Libby, Cindy Sheehan accused him of turning our nation "into an Evil Empire," and announced that she would lead a ten-day walk from Atlanta to Washington, D.C. for a "people's accountability movement." As you know, I'm all for personal accountability, so I will be holding my breath that it actually means that. Hopefully, she will start with herself.

I continue to be amazed that those who profess peace, love and caring can be so vitriolic. In a letter to the local pamphlet, a member of the "Peace and Justice Center" suggested that a local weatherman, who is researching global warming, go in his garage, close the door and turn on the engine of his car to see what effect that might have on the environment. For good measure, she also bashed the President. I have responded and hope to be published.

But, it's Independence Day. So, let's remember how it can be.

Sail on, sail on
o mighty ship of State!
To the Shores of Need
past the reefs of Greed
through the Squalls of Hate
Sail on, sail on

-- From "Democracy" by Leonard Cohen
