"Is she a hippie?"

True story. So-called "Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan spoke in Gary, Indiana last night, and Fox Chicago's 9pm news covered her appearance.

Ten year-old "Little Marathon Pundit" was watching too, and when Sheehan appeared on the screen, she asked me, "Is she a hippie?"

Yes, was my answer. I could've gone on...but I don't want to indoctrinate her. Let her find the truth on her own.

But she is a hippie. After all, she's the missing twin of Scooby Doo's Shaggy character.

UPDATE 1:15PM CDT: Jacob Laksin has a hoosier update with his impressions of Cindy at Purdue.
