What happened to Cincy Sheehan?
I've been camping in the Sierra Nevada (Tuolumne County) for the last eight days and did not see the news during that time (nice break, acutally).

Now, it's all Hurricane Katrina aftermath. I haven't seen anything on the Crawford protest or what became of it. I guess Bush is "lucky" in that Katrina pushed the "Peace Mom" off the news. Can someone fill me in on what's going on with Cindy Sheehan and related protests?

2. Yeah...I'm glad she's staying out of the press right now
Don't need her coming off as media-hungry in this time of national tragedy.

7. Famous pool shark Cincy Sheehan
is living comfortably in a suburb of Miami, with his dog. He spends time with his grandchildren, and occasionally hustles a game of pool from tourists. Cincy (also known as the Cincinati Kid) earned fame on the hustler circuit in the 1950's and 60's.



Cincy Sheehan (in suit, center), leaving 9th Street Red's Pool Hall, Little Rock, 1948.

:evilgrin:

12. Good one ...
But I thought Sheehan was more of an Irish name, like Buggsy Malone. :)

13. I really screwed up
and just learned that the radio show I was listening to was a rerun from late July. Mea Culpa.

15. No prob ...
I'm just glad she didn't become "indisposed" due to a small-plane crash, or get run over by a wingnut brown-shirt "counter-protester."
