Question about Cindy ...

[RoyGBiv]

Where is she from? I'm ashamed to say I've never considered it a point of interest, but I read someone earlier suggesting she run for office in California.

And then, just now, she was shown on the local OKC news (which was pleasantly shocking in and of itself), and the talking head referred to her "trip from Oklahoma" to Crawford to protest. A brief segment showing her speaking had a graphic that read "OK Mother's Son Lost in Iraq," OWTTE.

Icasualties.org shows that Casey was from California. Did Cindy ever live in Oklahoma, or is this just another example of a news station not being able to report its way out of a paper sack?

FWIW, the segment didn't show the counter-protest, but did indicate a opponent to Cindy's protest said that Texas was "Bush Country," and she needed to get out.

Not real sure where in California that is, but everything I've read and heard says that she's from Vacaville. And the hell with those who say she should get out. She is an American who still believes in freedom. Unlike the people in charge.

3. Thanks ...

That's what I thought. Before I irritated them once again with one of my sarcatisc commentaries on their news coverage, I wanted to get my facts in order.

4. Roy,

What station? I don't even watch local news here any more. I can't believe they reported this story!

It was unintentional that I was watching. :-) I had it there because I'd been watching the weather, and all of a sudden I heard Cindy's name.

Kinda nice, even if they screwed it up.
