HERE COMES 08

(all of the above with the exception
of the older woman are still above ground, yep
even the great looking baby in front. Oh and all are first
cousins and grew into hansom folks)






This year is going to end for us hiding out in the TN Valley kind of cold and wet. Right now (12-30--07 @10:08 in the morning) it is 54 outside and stark.

07 wasn't bad...no fools tried to blow us up (yea I know it isn't over yet) and outside of all these lines behind drawn by those who wanta be the leader of the free world most of us still really do get along.

As for the elections...all of them started begging for votes way too early and it shows on both them and on us.
I think this is a year folks will forget party lines and just try to find one Swinging Richard or Susan out there that is worth our vote. Most if not all kinda fall short of what used to be called a statesmen, still we have to pick ONE so lets think before we hang our chad ok?

That said...enjoy your winter..get OUTSIDE and look around and remember when you see the sky or the hills they will always be bigger than than any problem you have. Drink it in and just relax!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

HOW BAD WAS THE NEWS REPORTING IN 07??
Bad enough to win AWARDS!:


Winning Quotes in MRC's Annual Awards
for the Worst Reporting
The winning quotes in the MRC's "Best Notable Quotables of 2007: The Twentieth Annual Awards for the Year's Worst Reporting." As noted in previous CyberAlerts, the awards issue was posted, with videos, on Monday, December 17, but following tradition, today, Friday and Monday -- the last weekdays of the year -- CyberAlert will run the winning quotes followed on succeeding days by the runners-up.
The Media Research Center's annual awards issue provides a compilation of the most outrageous and/or humorous news media quotes from 2007 (December 2006 through November 2007). To determine this year's winners, a panel of 53 radio talk show hosts, magazine editors, columnists, editorial writers, and media observers each selected their choices for the first, second and third best quote from a slate of five to eight quotes in each category. First place selections were awarded three points, second place choices two points, with one point for the third place selections. Point totals are listed in the brackets at the end of the attribution for each quote. Each judge was also asked to choose a "

Quote of the Year" denoting the most outrageous quote of 2007.
A list of the judges, who were generous with their time, appears in item #2 below.
The MRC's Michelle Humphrey, Kristine Lawrence and Melissa Lopez distributed and counted the ballots, then produced the numerous audio and video clips that accompany the Web-posted version. Brent Baker and Rich Noyes assembled this issue and Eric Pairel posted the entire package, with dozens of Flash videos, on the MRC's Web site: www.mrc.org
MS Word and Corel WordPerfect files of the entire text of the issue are also available at the above link.
For an Adobe Acrobat PDF that matches the eight-page hard copy version: www.mrc.org
Now, the winning quotes in the 17 award categories:
Dynamic Duo Award for Idolizing Bill and Hillary
"When I watched him [former President Bill Clinton] at Mrs. King's funeral, I just have never seen anything like it....There are times when he sounds like Jesus in the temple. I mean, amazing ability to transcend ethnicity -- race, we call it, it's really ethnicity -- in this country and, and speak to us all in this amazingly primordial way."
-- Chris Matthews, MSNBC's Hardball, Feb. 28. [93 points]


America Makes Us Sick Award
"Through every Abu Ghraib and Haditha, through every rape and murder, the American public has indulged those in uniform....We pay the soldiers a decent wage, take care of their families, provide them with housing and medical care and vast social support systems and ship obscene amenities into the war zone for them, we support them in every possible way, and their attitude is that we should in addition roll over and play dead, defer to the military and the generals and let them fight their war, and give up our rights and responsibilities to speak up because they are above society?...[T]he recent NBC report is just an ugly reminder of the price we pay for a mercenary -- oops sorry, volunteer -- force that thinks it is doing the dirty work."
-- WashingtonPost.com military columnist William Arkin in a January 30 column reacting to a report by NBC reporter Richard Engel. Arkin later apologized for using the word "mercenary." [107 points]


Damn Those Conservatives Award
"I'm just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That's a fact."
-- Host Bill Maher on his HBO show Real Time, March 2, discussing how a few commenters at a left-wing blog were upset that an attempt to kill Vice President Cheney in Afghanistan had failed. [91 points]


Blue State Brigade Award for Campaign Reporting
Senator Barack Obama: "Let's roll back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans, let's make certain that those resources go to the people who need it....We're not going to solve it by pretending that issues of poverty and struggle among working families are just going to go away magically because the stock market is going up." Moderator Chris Matthews: "So much of what you say just grabs people like me, because it sounds like Bobby Kennedy. It sounds like the '60s at its absolute best."
-- Exchange at AFSCME Democratic candidates forum shown live on MSNBC, June 19. [78 points]


Madness of King George Award
"You could argue that even the world's worst fascist dictators at least meant well. They honestly thought [they] were doing good things for their countries by suppressing blacks/eliminating Jews/eradicating free enterprise/repressing individual thought/killing off rivals/invading neighbors, etc....Bush set a new precedent. He came into office with the attitude of 'I'm so tired of the public good. What about my good? What about my rich friends' good?'"
-- Ex-Washington Post sports reporter and Seinfeld writer Peter Mehlman in a June 20 Huffington Post blog item. [68 points]


Channeling the Nut Roots Award
MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "Russ Feingold wants to censure the President, the Vice President..." Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore: "Good idea....Personally I'd like to see a perp walk coming out of the West Wing of the White House." Matthews: "Do you think they're guilty of war crimes?" Moore: "Absolutely....I think we need a trial, in this country, where Mr. Cheney and Mr. Bush would be brought up on charges for causing the deaths of so many people...." Matthews: "It's interesting if you go back....the Nuremberg Trials weren't about the genocide, it was about waging an aggressive war. I love reading some of that language. It's interesting."
-- MSNBC's Hardball, July 23. [79 points]


Media Millionaires for Higher Taxes
"It takes leadership. After World War II, we maintained the infrastructure we had and we built an incredible network of highways, and leaders in both parties agreed that these were priorities. Now we have this tax-averse society, rallied by the Republicans, tax-averse, where everything becomes sort of a right-wing, libertarian refusal to let government spend any money or raise any money."
-- Newsweek's Eleanor Clift discussing the Minneapolis bridge collapse, August 25 McLaughlin Group. [74 points]


O Great Goreacle Award
Co-host Harry Smith: "President Bush getting ready to go to Europe for the G-8. The folks in the European Union want to do emissions reductions. The President said yesterday we're not going to participate....If you were president, you would have probably signed on?" Former Vice President Al Gore: "Yeah, yeah." Smith: "Do you mind if I-? [holds up a ‘Gore 2008' pin]...There you go. You can hold it. [laughter]....Here, let's see what it looks like. [holds pin to Gore's lapel]...All right, all right. Save that in a freeze frame."
-- Exchange on CBS's The Early Show, May 30. [64 points]


Politics of Meaninglessness Award for Silliest Analysis
"Perhaps the outpouring of sympathy for [the falsely arrested Duke lacrosse players] Reade Seligman, Collin Finnerty and David Evans is just a bit misplaced....As students of Duke University or other elite institutions, these young men will get on with their privileged lives....They are very differently situated in life from, say, the young women of the Rutgers University women's basketball team."
-- Nightline co-anchor Terry Moran writing on his "Pushback" blog on ABCNews.com on April 12, the day after the North Carolina Attorney General declared the players innocent of highly-publicized rape charges. [66 points]


Good Morning Morons Award
"So I'm running in the park on Saturday, in shorts, thinking this [warm weather] is great, but are we all gonna die? You know? I can't, I can't figure this out."
-- Co-host Meredith Vieira talking about global warming on NBC's Today, January 8. [57 points]


Media Hero Award
"He was not what I expected. He was very dignified. He was warm, friendly. He likes the U.S. It's George Bush that he doesn't like. He also was very personal. He talked about how hard his life was, that he wished he could be in love but you can't be when you are heading a country."
-- ABC's Barbara Walters recounting her interview with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, March 16 Nightline. [79]


Tin Foil Hat Award for Crazy Conspiracy Theories
Co-host Joy Behar: "Is there such a thing as a man-made stroke? In other words, did someone do this to him?..." Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck: "Why is everything coming from the liberal perspective a conspiracy?..." Behar: "I know what this [Republican] Party is capable of."
-- Discussing Democratic Senator Tim Johnson's illness on ABC's The View, December 14, 2006. [72 points]


Perky Princess Award for Katie's Cutesy Comments
"Do you worry at all that non-believers may feel excluded and diminished at a time when we're so divided about so much?"
-- Katie Couric to The Nativity Story's Catherine Hardwicke and Mike Rich in a December 4, 2006 CBS Evening News story about Hollywood movies based on Biblical themes. [84 points]


Barbra Streisand Political IQ Award for Celebrity Vapidity
"I just want to say something: 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?...If you were in Iraq, and the other country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us?"
-- Co-host Rosie O'Donnell on ABC's The View, May 17. [64 points]


Drive By Media Award for Shooting at the Competition
Matt Lauer: "He [Rush Limbaugh] makes a living poking fun at Democrats, but now some think he has gone a little too far in taking on Senator Barack Obama...." Reporter Michael Okwu: "Weeks before the Imus controversy, Rush Limbaugh started airing this ditty about Senator Barack Obama:" Song parody: "Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C." Okwu: "Which lead some to wonder, has Limbaugh been getting a free pass?..." Paul Waldman, Media Matters for America: "This is basically the radio equivalent of a black-faced, minstrel show. You're going back to Amos and Andy and all of those, kind of, racist shows in the past." Okwu: "For his part, Obama says he doesn't listen to Limbaugh but says being targeted is part of being a politician....Legitimate political satire or something darker?"
-- NBC's Today, May 21. Limbaugh's parody was inspired by a black writer who used the term in a March 19 Los Angeles Times op-ed, "Obama the Magic Negro." [79 points]


Not Biased Enough Award
"As we saw in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, the plantation mentality that governs Washington turned the press corps into sitting ducks for the war party, for government, and neoconservative propaganda and manipulation....What's happened is not indifference or laziness or incompetence, but the fact that most journalists on the plantation have so internalized conventional wisdom that they simply accept that the system is working as it should. I'm doing a documentary this spring called Buying the War, and I can't tell you again how many reporters have told me that it just never occurred to them that high officials would manipulate intelligence in order to go to war. Hello?"
-- PBS's Bill Moyers, in a January 12 speech to a conference on "media reform" aired four days later on the left-wing Pacifica network's Democracy Now. [95 points]


Quote of the Year
"As violence falls in Iraq, cemetery workers feel the pinch"
-- Headline over an October 16 story by McClatchy News Service reporters Jay Price and Qasim Zein.

HO HO HO!

GOOD MORNING...
Uh..WHAT DID YOU GET ME?






I GOT A NEW CAR AND A NEWS STAFF!



AND THESE TWO GUYS TO SHOOT EVERYONE WHO FIRED ME OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS!





AND THEY WILL START BY SHOOTING THE GUY THAT MADE ME FAMOUS!




THIS GUY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MAKING ME FAMOUS SO HE WILL LIVE!



SO WILL THIS GUY BUT THEY ARE GOING TO CUT HIS HAIR!



THIS GUY MADE BOTH OF US FAMOUS BUT HIS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BEAT THEM TO THE PUNCH!




THIS GUY GAVE ME A CHAIR HE TOOK FROM WORK!



AND THIS GUY GETS TO LIVE BECAUSE HE TOOK
ME TRAILER PARK CAMPING IN HIS RADIO STATION!


So what did YOU get this morning?

Here is a Christmas memory to warm the cockles of your heart.
MERRY HO HO!


Here is yet another that will bring a tear to a glass eye this holiday season.





Hey, did any of you have help shopping this year?







Say did anyone give firearms this year? Nothing says Merry Christmas like a nice
9mm tucked under the tree..but as always be careful or you might...do what???

Kids relax. While the
Media Report is on
leave there are several
outstanding local blogs
you need to use when you
get that twitch to talk about
the days when radio was
fun. Hey you can even
crack on the local TV
kids if you feel the need.

The one that is really open
to your thoughts is right HERE and
although it
paints with a
broad brush it still lets
you talk media. I just found it
and who or whatever is
putting the thing out does a
very good job. It just needs
you to toss them your fun thoughts!


The other is my fav when it
comes to both true and fabricated
radio history. The latest post
is from Your Dave as he tries to
own the famed STREAKING STORY
coverage from WKGN News in 73.
I just read it and most of what
he said is half way close to the
truth. Hey HALF WAY is outstanding
for old radio horses who are now
paying to have their hay pre-chewed!
Again if
you like radio HISTORY the
person behind this bog is working
like they need the money to
bring you some outstanding stories!
Click here to scoot over and
read Your Dav's jangled memory!



This writer strike is
actually making TV better!
Reason is simple if they can't write
they can't turn out crap. Less
crap=BETTER TV!


All that said...here be the plan.
For however long it takes to get
things working you can find
us posting on the wbir.com
comment board (it is wide open
and fun) and at times on
the two above mentioned blogs.
We have never been accused of being
good at spelling or grammar but in
our altered state some of the attempts to
blog have been really scary! As
the famed writer and far left
short person...Betty Bean
has said..."WE ARE A NIGHTMARE TO EDIT!"
Well Da BEAN should try to read us now!
Bless her heart.

SO
Drop in here anytime, the door is always open but
there won't be much to read for a bit.

Have a good Ho Ho and a Happy New year!

DANG IT I ALMOST FORGOT!
Here are your notes...
Ms Farkwad will reply to them
on her site.

THANKS FOR WRITING US!

Hats off to CW20 for
carrying the high school
football playoff games again this year.
Sure they make a ton of money
off them when local teams are
playing, but it beats the normally
crappy stuff they air.
(Well, for the most part. Some of it is OK.)
And the tv production is pretty good.

MONDAY MORNING DON IS BACK!


Catch him on RFD (see the link
for more on the tv stuff) and lets
all see if he is the same or tamed?

The staff at the MR hopes he comes
out with his hair on fire and his
butt catching..firing both guns
and taking no prisoners. Bless his
old mad heart the Nut Jobs along
with the far left have worked like
FIELD HANDS to pillory this old man and
he needs to let everyone know it, go
get um DON!!!







The radio history blog has
some good stuff about the DATE WITH DOC show!
The blogmeister is doing a great job digging up
facts and lies. With time both blend together!



Who do you trust? In the beginning it was obvious FOX was right
CNN was left and NBC was nuts! Now it kind of looks like
MSNBC ( the nearly dead cable news station that Al
talked into
firing Imus) has turned on CNN over their
use of another Hillary plant in the debate.


OH and this morning


BABS
has announced that she blesses
Hillary and will make her the
next leader of the free world.




As has been reported in the past
Babs is a shade left of center and
a (FOB) friend of Bill.
Just how big a FOB is she?



Well lets just say they are
CLOSE!

It is so much fun to watch libs eat
their young!



Here be the notes and
comments from this week.
As always Ms Farkwad
will select a few of the
more violent ones and
expound on them @

Walker..
this is the BEST post your staff has ever produced!

Please tell Butttterfly to keep up the good work..
See what happens when
you come down out of the trees and find a great job!

As for the Metro Pulse,
they are now nothing
more than a shadow of the sentinel
and an outlet for the left
coast thinkers that run that rag!

Who is the person asking about WFIV?
Better yet what is WFIV?
Sorry but radio died for
me the day XM showed up in my new car.

We still talk about CP and Walker and
the coach. That was radio worth turning on.

Again, keep it up and
add more like this
it was both fun and refreshing to
read after seeing what the
sentinel had to offer this morning.

local television gets old.

This was a fun read!

Kelli parker leaves the
WVLT anchor desk at 6 and 11p.

Barbie-doll girl Abby
(big ole)Hams leaves and
every damn body goes crazy.
Kelli Parker was much more
talented, had more credibility
as a journalist, and
not one peep about her out of any of you.
Believe it or not, I am a WBIR fan,
not so much a Channel 8 fan, but gee,
can't we give Ms. Kelli a shout out?

By the way -
what the hell is Horne Radio?
What a waste of air space!!!!!
That liberal ass needs to
sell all those radio assets back
to the communities in which they are from.
At least the station in Oak Ridge
could probably survive on its own and
make money.
And anybody allowing that
car guy Harry Douglas (Lane)
on more than five days a week
needs to be taken out and shot.
105.3 is a train wreck and
has not been worth a lick damn
since Horne bought it. Bring back the OLD West 105-3 days.

By the way- "WFIV"
call letters meaning-
Farragut's Independent Voice"

First of all, from the Channel 8 newsdesk,

Walker, I have read on here in
the past the ratings for Knoxville,
but they always only have the commercial stations.
Is there any way to find out how the
non-coms are doing compared to the for-profit stations?
There are at least four non-comms
that I think are doing well,
but I'd like to have a more definite idea. Can you help?

BORED? Not at all, this stuff is funny.

My family watches 10 so
we don't know who anyone is on the other stations.
If you want to report on someone
then talk about Beth or the ladies onthe show just before
hers.
People know who these people are.

GOOD LORD ARE YOU REALLY STILL HUNGRY?


The staff is still napping after their
Thanksgiving Feast of boiled Spotted Owl,
Snail Darter Tar Tar and large slices of Baboon
(Endangered of course) pie.


The good news is
cub reporter Julia Butterfly Hill



came up with a brilliant idea of raising
the “print” rock and checking
out what those wild and crazy kids
were doing over this
long Thanksgiving/Shopping
Holiday!

Julia reports the good ole far left wanta be
called the Metro Pulse
ran a letter to the editor
that caused even her green heart to jump up and cry,
“Uh..say WHAT?”

The red meat of the letter
was all about how Turkey Creek Shopping Haven
has ruined the largest
wet land this side of Coonassville, Louisiana!


The point the letter writer was
trying to make was instantly harpooned
by said writer when he admitted
he really didn’t care about
much of anything other than downtown Knoxville.
Excuse me? The last time I checked
Map Quest the creek of the turkeys is so far west
you can dang near smell Bowater on a clear day.
Mr. Greenie then made sure his
argument was deader than
a Harp Seal pup’s cracked cranium when
he signed off with
a Sevier County Address!


Still Julia or as we call her Butterfly,
felt the issue of Shopping Center verses Wet Land
was something that needed to be explored further.

Simply put a Wetland is a SWAMP!

Bad things live in SWAMPS.



A Shopping Center is dry and turns bad things



into good things!







Case closed.

All Saints Be Praised Turkey Creek is a good thing!


The greatest story of the week featured
one Clifford E. Clark III
who allegedly told the local
law when pulled over
with a thirty aught six


in the
floor of his van…
"He stated he didn't want
to say what he was
doing because he didn't
want to get into trouble,"

Reportedly Clifford was the star suspect
in the murder of one of those
insidious traffic camera things
that Knoxville has hung all over town
to bolster the “widows and orphans fund”
and nail color blind drivers!


Reports were someone had touched off
a boat load of rounds from a nice size gun..



three of which
drew blood thus
wounding the defenseless camera.
Because our legal team of Dewy Cheatum and Howl
believes the case will be tied up
in court for years we thought
we would just drop the question of
Mr. Clark’s guilt or innocence
and talk about how to shoot out
one of those cameras and NOT be caught!

First if you just have to use a large caliber deer rifle
leave the aught six in the wife’s truck
and borrow this from your step kid’s Uncle Snake!





With this bad boy
you can sit across the county line
and knock those things off
their polls all night long.

Truth is if you want to avoid
riding in the back of the car with the chicken wire
you really need to go old school.

Ask your Grand Pappy about the nights
he used to take out those street lights
before they were housed in that thick glass.
He will turn you on to an arms supplier
that has killed millions of cats, squirrels, birds,
pond gold fish, rats, mice, and snakes
while being made famous by selling
the weapon that almost shot Ralphie Parker’s eye out!





Quiet, accurate and made for those one eyed revenue generators these puppies will get the job done and have you home in the rumpus room long before Barney and the boys arrive at the scene!

Be careful out there and happy hunting!

At last Don Imus has paid his
debt (not the money part a few
of those BB women are going to law
the guy) to a certain segment of society and
is headed back to both RADIO


and TELEVISION!




Here be the facts as we know them
and for Ms Farkwads thoughts on the
return of the I Man dash over to her blog
right now!

GOOD MONDAY MORNING!
The leaves are gone up in the
hills but they still are hanging
around down here.
The above pictures were taken last
year when we had RAIN and color!

In less than a week we “may” know what happened at 105 (WFIV), the AAA FM Flag Ship station of the Horn Radio Network. Less than a decade ago the group consisted of some rather strong local AM stations and an under powered FM. Sadly a questionable Knoxville radio character took over the operation and robbed several surrounding communities of their local stations by firing staff and cutting local programming. The result was something called the Horn Radio Network. The Network not only stripped the stations of their community service and identity but the programming that replaced it has never been much to get excited about. The FM survived the initial gutting but last week the person behind the AAA format hit the bricks. Much more to come on this one..so stay tuned!

Bad decision making on the part of WVLT on Thursday at noon. They tried to do a live report from Nashville and screwed it up. But the press conference was not of an eartb-shattering nature (it did matter to east Tennesseans, though) and should have been taped and edited for the 4pm news. Instead, it made channel 8 appear to be small town tv news. Bad choice.

Getting to look at Stacey made up for it, though. Yummy.

A) When is Fox 43 getting their own news at 10PM?

B) I laughed my ass off and changed the channel after watching an ABC program last Thursday night, when at 10:59 PM WATE did a promo with a guy doing a live shot from Claiborne County on the scene of a drug bust. He teased that the drug bust was about to happen, and WATE was the only crew LIVE on the scene. WTF, who cares? I flipped it over to 10.

C) Put Michelle Silva back on mornings permanently at Channel 10 since Abby "Hams" is gone.

D)If Channel 8 wants to compete with the big boys in the morning, they will start their local news at 5AM. I turn off the TV at 6AM anyway and turn on the radio.

E) Put Dan Farkas back on the street weekday as reporter. Not as an insult, but he had MORE TALENT with packaging reports for news. And why can't WBIR attract/hire sports people?

Random media thoughts:

[1] I already miss Abby Ham.

[2] Why can't the people running master control for Channel 10 get the 11pm news right? And what is this continuing problem with the latenight Tennessee Lottery spot? (It ends and then the image stays unchanged on the screen for 30 or 40 seconds.)

[3] Dan Farkas has returned to his sing-song little girl voice.

[4] Channel 8 should lose the country bumpkins reporters and hire someone who can talk sensibly. (This refers to reporters, not anchors.)

[5] Channel 6 needs to buy a bucket of personality and then give everyone a saucerfull before going on the air.

[6] Knoxville radio remains lame. And why does a station change its format to oldies and then signs on with a network? No local involvement = death to the latest format flavor.

[7] Mexican radio in Knoxville is a waste of time and space. Si.

[8] The Froggy station wins by default because everyone else is so bad. Bad as in no good.

[9] Has WIMZ begun the long slide downward? Perenially number three in the market, they now have fallen to fourth.

[10] The News-Sentinel is great because they provide all the news and commentary that we need. Yeah, and my dog's farts smell like roses, too.

Last week it was jump on Star or whatever they are calling that station now? So after being on IVK for the last few years I went over and gave it a try.

The morning show spent over 15 minutes talking about a little boy who peed in church. No really at least 15 and there was no punch line? One of them said they wore depends on the air to see if they would leak but outside of that it just went on and no.

I gave up, went back to IVK and then for some reason tried them again. This time they were talking about a dog that peed in the house.

Freddy was doing Chicken Hawk on WDVX and it was just nice to leave the pee station and hear anything that at least tried to be funny!


The morning show on Star was so boring..don't take my word for it go over and listen yourself.

Agreed. 103.5 maybe does worse in the mornings because it is satellite instead of local. Stupid, LONG, boring chit chat on music stations in the mornings (or anytime) is a recipe for disaster. And the oldies station using a satellite network--just what we need--more narrow-minded programming using a small core of music instead of the huge variety that's available. Yep. Smart stuff there. And now someone's started Christmas music this week--I'll be puking on Santa by the week before Christmas if I listen to six weeks of this stuff. Anyone who plays Christmas music the first week of November should be horsewhipped. WIVK didn't win Station of the Year this year. The cash cow's udders must be dry right now. But the News-Sentinel is still great--8 out of 10 birds like it but hope they start using a round format so it fits in the cage better.

Funny you bring up knoxviews.com!
They are a great voice for the
left in Knoxville but they also
hate Don Imus and understand
his views are just the old "white
man" point of view.

They also are a member
of the party with the big umbrella
and it includes even right wing nuts
like you and those who read this garbage!

The man behind knoxviews.com
is not a racists like the writer of this blog and he has the well
being of both knoxville and now maryville
at heart when he keeps posters OFF his blog!

Before you chastise knoxviews
why don't you read it and
if you have the nerve sign up and post.
Be careful though there are great writers
on there and they will correct
your spelling and at times
they will correct your far right thoughts!
