Cindy Sheehan Watch: She’s BACK and is Taking It to the Road
Anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan, center, is surrounded as she places a pair of boots in front of a cross for her son Casey Sheehan following a news conference at Camp Casey near President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, Thursday, Aug. 25, 2005
The ASSociated Press has Cindy Sheehan Planning Anti-War Bus Tour.
A fallen soldier’s mother said Thursday that the anti-war vigil she started nearly three weeks ago near
President Bush’s ranch won’t end when she and other protesters pack up their camp next week.Cindy Sheehan said the day after she leaves Aug. 31, she will embark on a bus tour ending up in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 24. Then the group will start a 24-hour vigil in the nation’s capital.
“I am not alone,” she said at a news conference Thursday. “There’s the people standing behind me here, but there’s thousands of military families … who want the same answers to the same questions.”
Now, this ought to be grand and probably alot of fights with Bush supporters along the way. Flap wonders if she will link up with traitor Jane Fonda’s Peace tour?
But, the leftie moonbat fringe love confrontational demonstrations ala Michael Moore. The question is what play will this have in the mainstream media? The Robert’s hearings will have started and Congress will be back in session.
Stay tuned.
Jeb Leutwyler puts up a sign supporting the troops and the Iraq war on a fence near U.S. President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas August 25, 2005. War supporters are planning a massive rally August 27 in Crawford to counter the anti-war protest started by Cindy Sheehan earlier this month.

Southern California Power Outages
Flap has been in the dark (without electricity for about an hour).
The ASSociate Press has Rolling Blackouts Cut Power in California.
LOS ANGELES
Sweltering late-summer heat and the loss of a key transmission line Thursday forced power officials in Southern California to impose rolling blackouts, leaving as many as half a million people without power for an hour at a time, officials said.
The California Independent System Operator, which operates the state’s electric grid, declared a transmission emergency at 3:57 p.m., said Gil Alexander, a spokesman for SoCal Edison.
The ISO ordered the utility to reduce its demand, prompting blackouts in parts of Fontana, La Puente, Cathedral City, Huntington Beach, Long Beach and Ontario, Alexander said.
The utility planned to scatter the blackouts to lessen the impact, he said. Blackouts were expected to last about an hour before being shifted to other areas.
SoCal Edison has about 13 million customers in more than 400 Southern California cities and communities.
The Stage Three California ISO emergency has been cancelled and power restored.
Flap presumes that the major transmission line form Oregon to California hs been restored.
It would have been nice if the MSM (like television and radio) could have relayed the emergency warning (Cal ISO issues it one hour in advance) to the folks here in the greater Los Angeles area.

Surveillance for Dental Caries, Dental Sealants, Tooth Retention, Edentulism, and Enamel Fluorosis — United States, 1988–1994 and 1999–2002
The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly has Surveillance for Dental Caries, Dental Sealants, Tooth Retention, Edentulism, and Enamel Fluorosis — United States, 1988–1994 and 1999–2002.
Dental caries and enamel fluorosis historically have been common problems related to dental health in the United States. In addition, disparities among sociodemographic and racial/ethnic groups have been well documented. Since 1996, a consortium formed by CDC has used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to obtain epidemiologic estimates of dental conditions and preventive efforts. Among the objectives of NHANES are to assess the prevalence of oral diseases and conditions and the efforts to prevent disease and to monitor the oral health status of minority and underserved populations.
Interesting report and definitely required reading.

Air America Scandel: The SHELDON DROBNY Connection
Michelle Malkin has INSIDE AIR AMERICA: THE SHELDON DROBNY FILES.
My investigative blog partner, Brian Maloney, watched the surreal appearance of Air America co-founder Sheldon Drobny on C-SPAN this weekend. Drobny was on the network to plug his 2004 book, “Road to Air America: Breaking the Right Wing Stranglehold on Our Nation’s Airwaves.” Click here for Brian’s exclusive transcript/analysis of Drobny’s remarks and the second half of our Sheldon Drobny files.
Our thanks to the caller from Dallas who broke the silence about the Air American financial scandals on the program. Drobny was visibly uncomfortable. As he should be.
Drobny, a deep-pocketed, self-described venture capitalist from Chicago, is a strange duck who deserves much more media scrutiny than he’s getting. In October 2003, NRO’s Byron York explored his moonbat writings for a fringe website called Make Them Accountable here. York noted Drobny’s Lyndon LaRouche connections and wrote:
In the 1990s, conservatives came under heavy criticism for relying on funding from the foundation run by Richard Mellon Scaife. Liberal commentators routinely portrayed Scaife as a right-wing zillionaire who harbored dark visions about the evil nature of his political adversaries. Now, it is a zillionaire on the left-the guiding force behind liberalism’s premier outreach effort-who harbors dark visions about the evil nature of his political adversaries. And that is the face of liberal talk radio.
Since then, however, neither the New York Times nor any other major MSM outlet has had anything more to say about the checkered past of Drobny and his wife, Anita, their apparent shell game habits, or their latest efforts to drum up new cash for the Air America money pit through the dubious “Nova M” business plan, which we first exposed here.
It is amazing to Flap that there have been no leaks from either the FBI or New York authorities as to the progress of their investigation.
Certainly, this charge of fraudulant conveyance and theft of federal funds should have piqued the interest of some prosecutor.
At the very least, the Congress should be requesting hearings on this whole Air America Scandel.
And what does Al Franken have to say?
And these are some of the kids hurt by this scam.
Bleeding-heart liberals, beware. Like pied pipers in progressive clothing, Drobny and his wife may be coming to a town near you to entice you into Air America’s sea of red ink.
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Go to The Radio Equalizer for the rest of our examination of Drobny.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bear Flag League, California, Politics, Proposition 75, Proposition 76, Proposition 77, Proposition 78, Special Election 2005
California Special Election Watch: Latest Public Policy Institute of California Poll
The Public Policy Institute of California has PPIC Statewide Survey: Special Survey on Californians and the Initiative Process, August 2005.
Some findings of the current survey
* A majority of likely voters across age, income, education, racial and ethnic groups, and in every region of the state, oppose holding a special election this fall.
* When asked which ballot issue was most important to them, a higher percentage of likely voters (16%) volunteered the answer “none†than named any one measure.
* At this time, likely voters are not very enthusiastic about the three reform measures on the fall ballot that are supported by the Schwarzenegger administration:
Proposition 74 (teacher tenure), 49% support, 42% oppose;
Proposition 76 (spending and funding limits), 28% support, 61% oppose;
Proposition 77 (redistricting), 34% support, 49% oppose.
* Governor Schwarzenegger’s approval ratings are at a low point: Only 34% of state residents approve of the way he is handling his job.
* The state legislature fares even worse, with a 27% approval rating.This is the 58th PPIC Statewide Survey and the first in a series of three surveys focusing on Californians and the initiative process. This special survey series is funded by The James Irvine Foundation.
The PPIC statewide survey can be found here.
Well, this news is mixed for the Governor with a little bad news for him and the Democrat legislative leaders.
However, on the bright side: the Paycheck Protection Initiative, Proposition 75, is handily winning with 58 per cent support, 33 per cent opposed and 9 per cent undecided.
Will the Governor finally embrace Proposition 75?
