From the strange people of the F.R.A. comes a sort of synopsis of the next Fonda movie featuring Cindy Sheehan.
I guess with the Michael Jackson trial over with, the Aruba case slowing down, and John Kerry and Howard Dean slipping slowly into the disinterest of the public, the next candidate for heavy media coverage is Cindy Sheehan.

Many on the left are thanking there lucky stars for this one. A woman who just happened to fall right into the laps of the left, saying exactly what they are to afraid to let slip out. They hate war and think that everything Bush does is evil.

Yes once again someone else is doing their bidding abroad so they can spend more time making life miserable on the hill with the Roberts confirmation.

But...I'm just curious...Because I like to ask silly questions....And she is my most favorite person in the world...

How's Jane Fonda taking this? Is she upset that Cindy Sheehan is taking the anti-war movement steam engine? Is there potential for a catfight?

Picture this: The fry smelling tour bus of Fonda stops in the middle of a desert road, a few meters in front the Sheehan bus stops. Out they come long hair and styles reminiscent of the 60s, then like a scene from the "Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" they start throwing soy eco-safe products at eachother hoping, just hoping the other will give up or hop on the others band wagon.

But little to their knowledge (yeah right) the media is watching with skycams and what not. As people become injured (o.k. just pretend injured) and fall to the waste side, Cindy and Fonda emerge center stage. Both look around horrified at what has been done.

"We're no better than the people we're trying to stop." Says Fonda teary.

"We have become the same monsters, let's show America that we can stop this senseless violence together!" whimpers Sheehan as they take eachothers hands and raise them triumphantly in the sky.

"TOGETHER!" everyone shouts as they all sing anti-war songs long into the night near a bonfire.

END SCENE

In the meantime the media finds other news, and moves on with their lives. Sheehan and Fonda remain a topic of blogsites and small dosages of t.v. coverage. But gradually the world sees the senselessness of these people, and notice how much more civilized things seem to be in Iraq. They find the courage to disagree with countries that think America and Britain are wrong, and find it refreshing to see the Iraqi people free. And thanks to rogue media outlets, they see how good change (democratic or otherwise) is in that part of the world.

And fallen soldiers are remembered, thanked, and honored by others continuing to fight for freedom and against terror.

But that's just my take...

pssst Libs, try a new playbook. The old one is tired and predictable. I mean the Manifesto has been around since the 1800s. It didn't work for Stalin or Pol Pot. Look forward, not to the past.
