I wonder if any of the columnists, reporters, bloggers, et al. who are following this charade have bothered to check out the bona fides of the San Francisco PR firm which is stage-managing the anti-war, anti-Bush newsmaker?

From past experience (checking out a Huffington campaign against Detroit) as an automotive writer, I found that PR agency is singularly devoted to far left causes.

So who's "follow(ing) the money" these days re Sheehan, et al.? Is it coming from MoveOn? DNC? Wacko Hollywood lefties?

In my capacity as a Board-Certified Nitpicking Pedant, I write to inform you that in his piece entitled "That Old Feeling," Mr. Hynes wrote the following, "So now it's the Cindy Sheehan show that's got you wrapped around the axel (emphasis added)." The intended word was, of course "axle" that on which wheels are mounted. The word "axel," un-capitalized, is a type of jump in figure skating, either a single or double axel. When capitalized, it is a masculine name.

p>Pedantic nitpick now delivered, I also thought the entire piece was right on target. br> -- W. B. Heffernan, Jr. /p>

The Bush Haters may hear Barry Manilow sing "I Go Crazy," but when I look at their histrionics I hear Napoleon XIV's "They're Coming To Take Me Away."
