Spc. Casey Sheehan transited through Shannon, thanks to Bush & Bertie, on his way to his death. His brief time here confirmed for Casey his love for Ireland. What a shame and disgrace on us that we were complicit in his death! Today is a time to remember Casey, his family, and especially his mother, Cindy Sheehan, who has raised to US and perhaps global peace movement from, if not the grave, then certainly ennui. She deserves our thanks and our sympathies on this day. read full story / add a comment

at home.Many people who buy a pup do not realise they are causing
untold misery for the pups mother who lives her life virtually 'in

it.In reality this easy money prompts the breeder to continue.
