      <![CDATA[John makes an excellent point: this article WAS written, in point of fact, by a female woman. One must always take care to avoid the dreaded female woman and instead rally behind its obvious and virtuous counterpart: the male woman.<br>
<br>
Thanks be to John for keeping the Scene's online comment section educatingly educated and free from oppressive oppression.

      <![CDATA[Gast, the obsession with the OWS is getting a bit strained amongst the posters and the SCENE as the common folk fail to rally.. Now we have this female woman returning to the fray, dripping with liberal arrogance, a smart alec who got her just desserts with conservative victories across the country but can't quite take it in yet.

      <![CDATA[The liberal agenda for the past thirty years has been like a great ship of fools and it's situations like this - protesters and media both - that helped to understand why half the passengers have jumped ship in the foreign ports of independents and conservatism  in spite of liberal control of most of the media and the great majority of our educational facilities. You just don't get it and you never will.

      <![CDATA[You know, Liz, as empty a suit as Haslam is, and as mirth-provoking his ineptness can be, and as as amusing as his inability to be top dog in his own administration (as long as Daddy and the Lt. Gov. are actually in charge)....<br>
<br>
If the current GOP Presidential field cannot make you regret getting out of journalism, I don't know what could. Bill Haslam is only an oarsman on the Ship of Fools, wandering as aimlessly as the crew of Odessyus.
