1. Matt got it right, I think,

even our own, Will Pitt, confessed that he was worried that others with causes NOT related to Cindy were attaching themselves to the Crawford phenomonon. The problem is that there are soooooo many reasons to dislike this administration and finally, finally, finally the press is paying attention to just one reason, one person and the rest of us are jumping in because somebody is listening. It may work out okay. Maybe.

2. Good article, and very evenhanded. Matt Taibbi is a fine writer. NT

3. Bush supporter

"Late that night, a car pulled up at the campsite. There was a woman at the wheel, and she was crying.

She was a Bush supporter who lives in the area, but her son was about to be shipped off to Iraq. She had made a special trip out here to complain about the long row of white crosses the protesters had planted along the side of the road -- each cross bearing the name of a fallen soldier. "Y'all are breaking my heart!" she cried. "My son hasn't gone yet, and I have to see those crosses every morning." She collected herself, wailed, and cried again, "You've broken one woman's heart!" "

That really says it all, doesn't it? Her son is being sent off to an unnecessary war and it's Ms. SHEEHAN'S FAULT that she's upset about it. This kind of thinking still astounds me.
