Brace yourself. It’s about to get really stupid:

Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son’s death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq.
“I’m going to go to Washington, D.C. and I’m going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I’m going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home,” Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached.
“And I’ll probably get arrested, and when I get out, I’ll go back and do the same thing,” she said.

The media are so eager to cover the circus, they’re writing pre-circus warm-up articles. Last week, Ralph Peters launched a pre-emptive strike on those who would exploit the 2,000th fallen U.S. soldier. I’ll be re-reading it often in the weeks to come.
