was printed on hells angels bright red tee-shirts at a blue grass festival we went to in Alaska.

They did a GREST JOB! They refered to themselves as "The Frozen Few".

5. Oh for fuck's sake...
It's a big world out there, the news can cover more than one thing. Is Cindy "stealing" press away from Plamegate, the Downing Street Minutes, EVENTS TAKING PLACE IN THE FUCKING WAR ITSELF? Just because GD is 24/7 Cindy doesn't mean the whole world has to be.

6. Thanks for speaking sense
The myopia around here is often ludicrous.

18. I see it as tunnel-vision rather than myopia
Also functional fixedness and groupthink.

But it's still entertaining and informative.

BTW I've got my Stones tickets for November 11 at Petco Park in San Diego!

9. I haven't seen Cindy Sheehan's story in the corporate press for days.
It has been blacked out. Every possible nonsensical tidbit is covered but her story. It is an intentional and maliciously crafted effort to silence a grieving mother whose son was killed in an illegal and immoral war launched on the basis of lies by George W. Bush.

11. Only 324 stories in Google News today. What a blackout!

Where are you looking for news, Our Weekly Reader?
The White House press corps is stuck in Crawford with nothing happening but Cindy. Think they're covering the wildflowers?

13. Its ok
CNN is about to do a story on a guy who wants to have a cup of coffee in every Starbucks in the world. Maybe CNN's cameras will accidentily get a shot of the protest when they follow him to Crawford for the double mochachino.

14. Might as well be wildflowers.
Had checked the New York Times and Washington Post this morning and did not see anything, and nothing on the idiot box. (The "Runaway Bride" is mowing the lawn somewhere, just in case you were interested.)

Yesterday, the same Google search had hits from slate and raw story, but now it seems that the local papers in various places and the BBC are picking up the story again.

Next time I'll check "Our Weekly Reader."
