Remind me to never read the comments on the Tennessean's site ever again. Those racists are PISSED that little girl is getting Christmas presents.

Simple rule of thumb: If the subject of a positive Tennessean article is in anyway NOT affiliated to:
. a church
. a religion
. teabaggers
. anti-taxation
. gun rights
. anti-immigration
. states rights
. the civil war
. hatin on yanks
then NEVER read the comments.
Unless you want to hate Tennessee and humanity in general for a day or two afterward, never read the comments section of the Tennessean if the story has anything to do with immigration and children. The rednecks and racists come out in force.
Regarding the sewage in the cumberland.. I know I didn't imagine the signs on riverfront about raw sewage:

Have they since stopped that and moved the signs, or is this sewage leak something else?
It's too bad about the comments. That was a great story about a regular-old-dude seeing something he thought was wrong and fixin' it and then the racists run amok in the comments. I'm so glad The Tennessean made it so you can read a story without reading the comments now.
Regarding death-row inmate Gaile Owens being like Mary Winkler: Owens didn't kill her husband - she HIRED someone to kill her husband.
What landed Owens on death row, apart from actually hiring someone to kill her husband, was that the hired killer declined the offer of life in prison and Owens' attorney apparently wasn't able to get them tried separately.
In my opinion, hiring someone to kill your spouse, even if you're a victim of abuse, is worse than shooting him yourself. Hiring someone pretty much requires that you plan things out ahead of time.
Personally, I think her sentence should be commuted to life without parole. But I'm not a state supreme court justice.
What's wrong with the comments? Why do you hate America (and Jesus)so much? What part of the word illegal do you not understand?
I'm off to The Salvation Army right after I type this to do all of my Christmas shopping!!!!! So put that in your crack pipe and smoke it, libtards!!!!!
Daddy will you get me something new this year instead of hawking the same recycled bullshit we've been getting for the past 8 years?
I'm so glad they've hidden the comments, too. It's really embarrassing when one's out-of-state friends call to read them to you and laugh.
Chris, I think this is a new thing. The story said that raw sewage has been flowing from a site into the river, so it's not the intermittent stuff your awesome sign warned about.
