    Of course, you're not spewing any right wing spin? Why don't you deal rationally with the arguments being made here instead of spewing yourself? Go away, unless you have some actual good ideas to bring to the table.

    I've been following Shauna for a long time. (Full disclaimer: I post on a page where we routinely make fun of her smug attitude. She's a cliche--apparently found love late in life and acts as if she's the first woman over 40 to ever get married and birth a baby. We find her rigid earnestness, her extreme food snobbery, and her hyper-sensitive band of fawning admirers quite amusing.) But all fun aside, she has some serious objectivity problems. She doggedly enforces a not-even-slightly-critical-or-questioning-comment-allowed policy on her own blog. In response to less-than-glowing reviews on Amazon, which she does not control, she urges her Fakebook friends to troop on over there and post positive comments to dilute the negative ones. Prior to her wedding, she lamented on her personal blog that she wanted a pair of red cowboy boots, but found them too pricey. When a reader sent her a pair gratis, she wore them to her wedding and posted a picture. So it's rather clear that Shauna has an objectivity problem and is not above whoring herself out for red cowboy boots or a monthly stipend or whatever else suits her material goals. But this latest post is downright disgusting. Factory hog farming is not only horrifically cruel to the animals in question, it is also an environmental disaster and making us humans sick in the process. Like a cozy home? Is she really that stupid or is she deliberately evil, or is she just another person of flexible conscience who is swayed by the benjamins? Maybe a little bit of all.

    Well gee, I'm so glad you noticed this! Just incidental footage from elsewhere- phew. Maybe now I focus on the important pieces of news in this clip like the great sign-making consipiracy in Madison. They are so busted! You know they put subliminal pro-labor recordings in those cheese hats too! Those crafty Wisconsinites!!!

    The viewership of Fox is being handed exactly what they want. Let's look at the truth of Fox News and its viewership. The "conservatives" couldn't keep their slaves because the "liberals" won the civil war and that is what is behind Fox News and the kind of people who watch it.

    Sara, thanks for asking that question. I did a quick check on the alumni directory, which is not necessarily complete. Mark Graul is an alum, and a Kristin Ruesch is a graduate and is listed as an aide to Rep Phil Montgomery.
