Ich bin ein Vancouverite in the The Globe and Mail on 8 February reported the purported JFK love-child who has recently been revealed in Vancouver, British Columbia. Farm Boy from Big City, Canada commented online:

Now don't go saying bad things about the Kennedys. They brought relief to millions of thirsty people during prohibition, they sympathised with Hitler when the poor man was gettting a bad rap and they raised millions to help the Irish Catholic liberation movement. Those are just a few examples. I'm sure their many endeavors included all kinds of praiseworthy acts that I've never even heard of. It is even rumored that they provided political representation to Italian-American groups being persecuted for their unorthodox business practices.

...and meets with the most interesting people. The Peace Mom has added lobbying for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to her resumé. In case there was any question about which side she's actually on, Cindy Sheehan removed all doubt today.

Cindy Sheehan is in Egypt today participating in protests against the incarceration and trial by military tribunals of members of the Islamist group.

Lots of photos at flickr, some of which can be found here. Take a gander at the non-head-scarf-wearing Cindy right smack dab in the middle of a passle of presumed Islamists. One even has that spot of devotion, the sudjda.*

If you have the patience to go through all the photos, you'll also arrive at several of the "Chicks and babies up front" variety. Beautiful women and angelic children pining for their Islamist husbands and daddies on parade in the all-too-common modern protest style we see so often lately from Global Exchange fracas outside military bases to anarcho-punk anti-military protests in Olympia, Washington to Code Pink whingdings in Washington DC.

Caution: Not the kind of activity approved of by the Muslim Brotherhood
