Phil Donahue tells a different story about our ‘merry little wars’...

“Wait a minute! Is that an egret?”

Phil Donahue, microphone in hand, is addressing about a hundred people, all gathered on the outside patio of the Apple Box Cafe in Petaluma, overlooking the Petaluma River. He is here on day two of a four-day tour to endorse congressional candidate Norman Solomon (Inverness resident and author of War Made Easy and Made Love, Got War), and to host a few screenings of the award-winning 2007 documentary he produced and co-directed, Body of War: The True Story of an Anti-War Hero. As he chats amiably with the assembled crowd, Donahue (best known for his Emmy Award-winning longtime television talk show, The Phil Donahue Show) suddenly stops and points to a white bird soaring low over the water behind the audience. After gazing in wonder for several seconds, he murmurs, “I hope you people appreciate what you’ve got here!”
