Alia's Musings

My musings on the government, the military, religion and life in general.

Name: Alianora
Location: Dallas, Texas

I'm a 33-year-old civilian RF network specialist who has been working for the military for 11 years, after graduating from college with a degree in journalism.

The protest down in Crawford

Amen. Or to paraphrase a commenter at Little Green Footballs, freedom of speech does not equal freedom from criticism.

UPDATE - It figures that with the obsession with polls, there would eventually be one attempting to measure Cindy Sheehan's popularity (or lack thereof). One number that struck me (since I both come from a military family and work for the DoD) - Sheehan is viewed unfavorably by 48% of the respondents who have family members who have served in the military (31% of those view her favorably, with 21% expressing no opinion). It's also interesting that the poll reports that the level of interest in the Sheehan story is approximately the same as the interest in John Roberts' Supreme Court nomination, but less than the interest in stories about Iran's nuclear capabilities.
