Turkey Returning to Texas

Here in Southern California we have the swallows that return to San Juan Capistrano every year, and in Hinkley, OH, they have the buzzards. It looks like Crawford, TX will have turkeys returning for Thanksgiving:

But after drawing the international spotlight at Camp Casey in Crawford, her (Cindy Sheehan's) name is fading from headlines.

In Crawford, her every word was beamed by a forest of satellite trucks to millions worldwide. On Friday, she and a state lawmaker were attended by TV cameras from one English and one Spanish station; one radio reporter; and one mainstream print reporter.

Sheehan, 48, hasnt slowed down. She was in Sacramento on Wednesday, urging Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to withdraw the California National Guard from Iraq. She addressed a Yom Kippur service Thursday in San Francisco on the nations need to atone for the war. Fridays news conference was a follow-up to Wednesdays plea to the governor.

She'll spend Thanksgiving back at Crawford. Whether she'll make lasting headlines there remains to be seen.

Apparently she's having trouble adjusting to the 16th minute of her 15 minutes of fame.
