Did anyone see the mom.....
Of one of the pilots of the helicopter that was shot down in Iraq last week speaking out at her son's funeral?

She said something to the effect that she was daring Bush to put a price on her head for speaking out. She went on to rip him to shreds and also refused a military burial for her son.

I found it incredibly brave and I wish I had recorded it. What's even more amazing is my local wingnut news played it.

3. I've searched this morning and can find zero links....
I'm not even sure what state it was in, just that I know it wasn't in my own. I was too shocked and moved by what I was seeing to pay attention to names, places etc.

4. God bless her
and her fallen son. My heart aches for her. I just can't imagine the pain of losing a child; it would tear me to pieces. I completely feel her anger and so should the rest of the country.
