    Something’s In the Air But It’s Not on the Airwaves
    Watch the Video: Quicktime
    While working on a political short film about the war in Iraq, cast member Sarah Rolan, playing the part of a widowed war bride, received news that her long-time friend, U.S. Marine reservist Lance Corporal Daniel “Nate” Deyarmin of Tallmadge, Ohio, had been killed during active duty in Iraq on Monday, August 4, 2005, along with 13 other Ohio servicemen. The eight-minute film has since been dedicated to Nate (…)

    CAMP CASEY, TX (Part Two) With a dozen or more activists still unbedding themselves from the floors of the Crawford Peace House, and with the push-pot of coffee in the kitchen already pumping dry, I think about that tall cup that Cindy Sheehan was holding this morning and decide to follow her lead to Crawford’s Coffee Station across the tracks.
    Trains this morning have headed due north along this Burlington Northern Santa Fe line. Either they tow flatcars double-stacked (…)

    A Political Satire
    By Peter Fredson
    One day there lived a spoiled, impetuous, impatient, shallow, reckless, irresponsible lad that was somehow given religion, promised he would become rich and powerful, and that he could help kleptocrats and True Believers rule the world.
    Several hundred of them got together, thinking the young lad was pliable, gullible and sufficiently dumb to serve as their poster-boy. They also knew he had a rich and powerful daddy and had lots of “right” ideas for (…)

    Wednesday 22 March 2005 - This past weekend was the two-year anniversary of the beginning of "shock and awe" of the US Government’s aggression in Iraq. If all you did was watch CNN, FOX News, or MSNBC, you would never have known.
    There were protests all across our nation. CNN called the over 800 protest events "barely a ripple." I spoke at a protest in Fayetteville, North Carolina where there (…)

    CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush, noting that lots of people want to talk to the president and "it’s also important for me to go on with my life," on Saturday defended his decision not to meet with the grieving mom of a soldier killed in Iraq.
    Bush said he is aware of the anti-war sentiments of Cindy Sheehan and others who have joined her protest near the Bush ranch.
    "But whether it be here or in Washington or anywhere else, there’s somebody who has got something to say to the president, (…)

    It is not often that, I, Cindy Sheehan is at a loss for words. I will try and describe today, though. It was the most incredible, fantastic, fabulous, amazing, powerful, miraculous event I have ever been apart of. I was so humbled and honored at the outpouring of love and support that arrived in Camp Casey today.
    It was a busy morning of interviews and problem solving. I had interviews with some network shows and a photo shoot for the Vanity Fair article. Almost all of (…)

    LIKE the Japanese soldier marooned on an island for years after V-J Day, President Bush may be the last person in the country to learn that for Americans, if not Iraqis, the war in Iraq is over. "We will stay the course," he insistently tells us from his Texas ranch. What do you mean we, white man?
    A president can’t stay the course when his own citizens (let alone his own allies) won’t stay with him. The approval rate for Mr. Bush’s handling of Iraq plunged to 34 percent in (…)

    My day started way too early today. After 3 hours of sleep, I was being shaken awake by someone at 6:30am telling me that the Today Show wanted me to be on their show. I had come into town to sleep in a trailer because my tent had been infested with fire ants. I turned the today show down for 7:15am, so we did it at 9:00am.
    We had a very interesting day. We had Bush drive by really, really fast twice. I caught a glimpse of Laura. I was hoping after she saw me that she (…)

    President Bush used to enjoy healthy support for his Iraq policy. But now freeway ’bloggers’ are speaking out, writes Rupert Cornwell
    Feel like getting something off your chest against that iniquitous warmonger in the White House? Well, you can write a letter to your newspaper, tune in to liberal talk radio, or click to a reliably leftie website. Alternatively, you can take a drive on the highways of the United States.
    These are the domain of the freeway bloggers, a breed that have (…)

    The above ad, paid for by Gold Star Families for Peace, will air on Crawford cable channels near Bush’s ranch. The total ad buy is currently $15,000. The group plans to air the ad throughout August and wherever Bush visits during his vacation.
    Sheehan’s son, Casey, was an Army mechanic who was killed just five days after arriving in Iraq.
    "He was only 24 and he died in his best friend’s arms," Sheehan says in the ad, directed at President Bush. "Casey (…)
