This morning the anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan -- the woman who spent so much time leading well-publicized protests outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas -- announced that she will demonstrate next week at Martha's Vineyard, where President Obama will be vacationing.

Sheehan said in a statement:

"we as a movement need to continue calling for an immediate end to the occupations even when there is a Democrat in the Oval Office."

4. hmmm
A majority of Americans now see the war in Afghanistan as not worth fighting and just a quarter say more U.S. troops should be sent to the country, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

5. Ethics, morals, and principles are not "yesterday's news."
They are things that stand the test of time.

10. Because any attention she gets these days is to herself... not to her cause.
