John over at Cindy Sheehan Watch let me know about this story: After 2 years, Casey Sheehan finally has his tombstone. I don’t mean to be mean, and certainly not disrespectful to Casey’s memory by trashing his mom on what would be Casey’s 27th birthday (he was born May 29th and was killed April 4, 2004), but so long as his mom is out there doing this and this and this and this and this (what was she thinking here?)….I can’t help myself. She may be a Gold Star Mom, but it doesn’t make her worldview a correct one. Her opinions need to be countered.
And John is doing a good job of it. Please link to him if you haven’t already.

A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
