Other great thing is that Sheehan is getting so much publicity on a day that should be all about Bush's speech.

You're right! I hadn't thought about that number getting into the mainstream press that way. I mean, I temporarily forgot that most people don't know the number. Maddow said the other day that 90% of the media is owned by 5 companies, and they are all conservative. That was a good reminder of what we are up against. We need a cable channel! That would be a start since if it ain't on TV it didn't happen.
