The Challenge to GW Bush from War Protesters at Crawford ("Cindy Sheehan" and the media) : Check it out.

Just wondering what y'all think on the multi-perspective jaunt in the media (including blogs) about what is easily encapsulated under a keyword search for "Cindy Sheehan" or "Casey Sheehan."

& I heard that some of you wanted to keep this class blog alive.
Maybe looking into current events like this one (cf the Sheehan issue)
might be a way to do so.

On another note:
I hope y'all enjoy your break (or your graduation!!) before
that reality of fall starts in a few weeks.

We really made a great class. I learned much from you,
as a class and individually. I very much appreciate that.

My best to each of you in future endeavors.
