VISION OF ABSOLUTE MORAL AUTHORITY
A Mother Sheehan miracle has been removed by eBay:
Online auction site eBay has pulled off the Web an ad for a baseball the seller claimed bore the face of anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, saying the ball was not properly authenticated.
Looks pretty authentic to me:
I dunno… I think it’s a pretty good resemblance!
Posted by mamapajamas on 2005 08 24 at 01:47 AM • permalinkWhat a sad comment on the sickness of our age that people should feel compelled to mock what is obviously a miracle.
Posted by Susan Norton on 2005 08 24 at 09:19 AM • permalinkThe sad thing is, if someone on this blog bought the ball, and used it in a baseball game, the left would accuse the VRWC of brutality the first time someone laid a bat across the ball. And if the RWDB struck out, they’d use that as proof that Mother Sheehan is influencing world events.
Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 08 24 at 10:08 AM • permalinkHey, Timbo, I know you’re an all-’Merican boy
Whoa! Welcome aboard, Tim! Why didn’t you tell us? We’d have baked you a cake or something. Gotta say, though, I’m surprised. Australia seems like a pretty cool place to live, so I’m not sure why you left (New Zealand, sure, I could understand getting the hell out of there, but Oz?). Anyhoo, give me a ring and I’ll take you to a baseball game. We’ll go to Rove’s place afterwards for a barbeque and instructions on what to do about this new threat, “bekkah.” He looks clever and dangerous.
bugger the miracle bit - it’s ART
perhaps the Victorian Government might like it now that $96,000 blue trees are off the agenda
blue treesThe face looks more like the pout of young George W these days
Nah. You need squinty eyes, a thin line for a mouth, big jug-ears, and underneath it something like “Bu$hitler Neo-KKKon Fascist Chimplerburton”. Intelligent, nuanced satire like that really gets those retarded red-staters and shows ‘em who’s the smart ones.
Nice tilty ball of compassion. About 3 degrees?
Posted by Dave in Chicago on 2005 08 24 at 12:35 PM • permalinkObviously union made by an indigenous anarch-syndicalist workers commune, the tilt to the left isn’t enough.
Posted by Pat Patterson on 2005 08 24 at 12:53 PM • permalinkBlackfive -> Meet Casey Sheehan
Blackfive has a great post on SPC Casey Sheehan. Better to learn more about him and honor his sacrifice than expend any more productive energy on his mother. This guy was a hero. I’m not sure what his mother is right now - just angry, I guess.
Link -> Scrappleface Draft Bush response to Cindy
Scrappleface is usually a satire site, but this is a pretty eloquent response that Dubya could have publicly used.
Cheers - DC
Bekkah, I see your e-mail address is bekkah64 at yahoo.
Tell me - 64, that’s your IQ right?

Posted by The Thin Man Returns on 2005 08 24 at 06:22 PM • permalinkWell I’d join the US army except I’m a forty year old Australian,
Gee sorry Bekkah, didn’t realise only people who joined the armed services could have an opinion that didn’t support the peaceniks . From now on I’ll stop.
And to maintain your level of debate I now put my thumb on my nose and go nah nah nah nah nah.
Bekkah—So if only people who’ve seen war can have an opinion, does that mean Oliver North’s opinion is worth more than Ward Reilly’s and Cindy Sheehan’s?
What about William Calley’s?

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 08 24 at 08:53 PM • permalinkNora - well, it’s about damn time we got laser weapons! Now I can time-travel back to the Fifties without feeling like such a tool.
WIDE-EYED FIFTIES PERSON: Do you have lasers in the future?
ME: Hell, yeah! We got ‘em everywhere!
WIDE-EYED FIFTIES PERSON: Golly! Do you use them in wars against Martians?
ME: Er, no. Mostly we, um, use them for listening to music, and, uh, finding out the price of Crunch Berries and stuff. Hey! Have I told you about Crunch Berries?
LOL Dave,
Nick is still ticked off that he hasn’t got his personal jet pack yet.Sigh, another future promise goes unfulfilled ;-)

Posted by The Thin Man Returns on 2005 08 24 at 09:08 PM • permalinkYo… Bekkah!
So where the hell are YOU? If you’re against the war, why aren’t you in Iraq? Why haven’t you signed up with Al Qaeda to become a human shield or, better yet, a ‘splodeydope?
Don’t pull this crap about having been to war is the only way you can comment on it… not if YOU haven’t been fighting for the OTHER side, up close and personal, as you insist!
Posted by mamapajamas on 2005 08 24 at 09:19 PM • permalink“The Crawford Peace House is shown in Crawford, Texas, Monday, Aug. 22, 2005. With only $3 in the bank, things looked pretty grim for the Crawford Peace House two weeks ago. The telephone had been cut off for nonpayment. The co-founders used their own money for the mortgage payment and electric bill. Then Cindy Sheehan arrived. The grieving California mother’s quest for a meeting with President Bush inspired more than $150,000 in donations to the Crawford Peace House since Sheehan started a makeshift campsite Aug. 6 along the road to Bush’s ranch. Not only are the phones back on, but the group plans to pay off its mortgage.” ~ AP ~
RebeccaH—Feel free. It’s not like I ™ the things…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 08 24 at 10:57 PM • permalinkWhile I admit that the resemblance is uncanny, in the pic link now up at LGF, Mother is smiling, alot, so I doubt it is her, sorry, Her image.
Posted by andycanuck on 2005 08 24 at 11:40 PM • permalinkIf you think about it, it is probably true
That’s the lefty approach to life, isn’t it? If you think about something, it becomes true.
Wait, I guess that’s not what you meant. At any rate, unless the guy’s a former Soviet dissident, I’d probably be laughing in his deluded face if I met him in the street.
Still, I guess your comment was at least an improvement on your last go-around, orang. Welcome back!
orang, I have to give you credit, you made an original comment, and not some recitation of leftie talking points. Do keep this up —maybe PW will get his prayer answered for a leftie with a modicum of intelligence and creativity.

I’ve always wanted to list a baseball as “not signed by Babe Ruth” just to see how high the bidding would get. It’s good to know that ebay is willing to thwart yet another potential prank or practical joke.
