Turkey Day in Crawford

Wacky Cindy Sheehan is a glutton for punishment. She'll be spending her Thanksgiving in Crawford, TX demanding the U.S. pulls out of Iraq. When she sets up camp again she'll be violating local law:

After President Bush and Sheehan left on Aug. 31, McLennan County Commissioners Court voted to ban parking on 23 miles of roadway near Bush's Prairie Chapel Ranch and prevent people from camping, eating, or placing portable bathrooms in ditches along all county roads.

Sheehan, the California mother of 24-year-old Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, who died during his first week in the Iraq war, plans to break at least one of the new laws Nov. 22, shortly after she arrives on the turf that made her famous.

The “civil disobedience” event is just the first of a series of spectacles she's planning as Bush spends the holiday at his ranch, including a small Iraqi meal for Thanksgiving dinner and an anti-war rally the following Sunday.

We're going to have our forces out there and we'll do whatever is necessary.

If you're one of the unlucky deputies in McLennan County, you have my sympathy this Thanksgiving. Instead of spending time with family and frinds around a big bird you'll be squelching the rights of anti-war nuts while giving them more attention than they deserve.
