My message to Cindy Sheehan: Try to imagine what you sound like to others, especially when you talk about your family. You sound like a person caught up in a cult.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. Words to live by. One rude liberal forgot, and now he's unemployed. Here's hoping a Republican gets his job.

Pictures from Camp Casey show Cindy Sheehan being interviewed. Is it just me, or does it look more like she's holding court?

A point I've been making over and over again on this blog is that Cindy Sheehan is being used by the hard left. Left to her own, she might have found some peace and progressed through her grieving, but we'll...

Cindy Sheehan, anti-war protester and troubled mother, is a study in someone who uses and is being used. In Freudian terms, she looks to be suffering from a classic case of displacement. But her friends in the anti-war movement don't care.

It seems like the media figures that it is of critical importance to make the Hiroshima bombing a "first" (the 60th anniversary of the dropping of the Little Boy bomb passed this weeked on August 6). It was a "first" in many ways, and it was horrific for the people who suffered from it, and it did do much to break Japanese resistance and bring an end to the war without invading the home islands.
But it was also a historic event, meaning that its place in history cannot simply be moved around for the sake of a story headline.
