The eagle-eyed Cindy follows in the path of other breakthrough toys like Chatty Cathy, whose pull-string statements shook up the doll market 40 years ago, or Sony's barking Aibo robot, which was the first to popularize voice command in the late '90s.
Cindy takes Aibo's innovations one step beyond: She not only follows instructions but intuits shapes, colors, and words — and remembers.
Buried in her belly, Cindy's 16-bit microprocessor — an upgrade from the toy industry standard 4-bit — compares the text with her database of 700 words.

Cindy Sheehan is showing courage and American ideals by standing up for what she believes and is not afraid of bullies like you.
A parrallel that I remember is the, on one hand, mountains of protestation about the "rude and repressive" heckling incident of Jeanne Kirkpatrick where students were reportedly squeaking balloons while she wanted to speak in Berkeley CA.
Cindy Sheehan has lied (in not having the courage to stand by what she had so accurately written in the 'Nightline' email about Kristol's PNAC Neocon cabal) and comes across as a hypocrite as a result:
