Cindy Sheehan vs Dianne Feinstein

Now this is funny. The Democrats created their own little Frankenstein named you guess it Cindy Sheehan. They built her up, the media built her up. Unfortunately she didn't realize she was a tool and is now on the loose and rather... ahem... crazy.

According to CNSNews.com she is now going to run against Dianne Feinstein unless she filibusters Judge Alito. Obviously a filibuster is NOT what the dems in congress want. It will cause the republicans to force the issue with the "nuclear option".

"I'm appalled that Diane Feinstein wouldn't recognize how dangerous Alito's nomination is to upholding the values of our constitution and restricting the usurpation of presidential powers, for which I've already paid the ultimate price," Sheehan said in a statement.

Sheehan claimed Alito has "an extensive paper trail documenting the right-wing political agenda that he has actively advanced, not only as a high-ranking official in the Reagan Administration, but also as a judge."

Now the democrats need to find a way to shut her down. They wound their toy too tight and broke it. Worst part about her is that her son who died a hero will be remembered by his mother's actions. Shame she didn't respect the living members of her family enough to allow them to grieve privately.

Fire at Benton Harbor Meijer store

I was there. For once I was somewhere that news happened. Of course I was looking at pudding at the time. That is my lot in life I suppose.

On Saturday January 21st, 2006 fires were set in Meijers. This was during their "Super Saturday Sale" so it was pretty packed. Some reports have stated as many as 15 seperate fires were set at the same time. All I know is that the people around me started to stare past me. At the time I remember thinking they were being rude staring at someone. Then I glanced over and the center of the store was filled with smoke and people running in with fire extinguishers.

Probably the most interesting part was that we kept shopping. The building we were in was obviously on fire and we kept shopping. Not one person I saw headed to the exit. I am not entirely sure what we were thinking. "Maybe we can check out before we die." Mob mentality I guess.

They then told us to leave. Which everyone did and no one panicked. A few people tried to take their carts with them (full of product of course) and were politely told to leave them behind.

Meijer personel handled it beautifully. They ran in with extinguishers and managed to keep it from going to far. It will be interesting to see if they can find who did it. I hope so.
