#1 Appropriately, "Vacaville" is spanish for "Cow Town"...

#3 Sheehan said she has received encouragement and support in Vacaville, Calif. the San Francisco suburb where her three surviving children still live.

Who in the hell are these people? Vacaville is its own city - pretty much a bedroom community, not a 'burb of SF. Noe Valley, Excelsior, Nob Hill, the Western Addition, those are suburbs of SF. But not Vacaville. (Note: Vacaville is approx 50 miles away)

..has since moved to Berkeley.

She'll be right at home there. Along with her fellow wackjobs.

#4 "I'll be a grieving mom until I die..."

Make that a "professional grieving mom". Which you'll be until that lefty money runs out. Or they flush you down the toliet after the next big thing comes along...

#5 I heard she didn't raise her son. That it was the father and his new wife. Anyone knows about the circumsatnces? Was it that the divorce gave the custody to the father (strange, because courts usually give it to the mother, except that whould entail serious danger for the child) or was it because she walked away and just dumped her son?

#7 We should promote her cause and have her tour/hound Dem candidates until the make her part of the entourage. Just think what a vote getter Hillary will be with Cindy at her side. Makes my hair stand up just thinking about it!

#9 Proud home of the California Correctional Medical Facility, Vacaville too...

Seriously whacked-out nut jobs go there. That's where they keep Charlie Manson.

#11 Over at Arianna Huffenpuff's yesterday about half the comments to Cindy's post were telling her to shut up and go home. Her increasing shrillness and name-calling were hurting the anti war effort. I chortled all afternoon about that.
